Summary
As with a well-loved family member, it can be hard to nail down in a few words the character of a particular state. A series of images may come to mind instead - the natural wonders, man-made landmarks, familiar haunts and even the native products and foods that express the tone and character of the place we call home. Charles Monagan has been discovering and describing such Connecticut Icons for years on the back page of Connecticut Magazine. Within this gift book are a collection of 50 of his favourites, each with a full-page photograph and entertaining, informative background story. From the Yale Bowl to the hot lobster roll, the U.S.S. Nautilus to the Merritt Parkway, Monagan successfully captures the independent spirit and local pride of this New England state.

Excerpts
Church on the Green
If the village green is Connecticut's most persistent reminder of its proper New England upbringing, the nearby white-steepled church comes in a close second. For well over 200 years, the soaring spires have peeked over treetops and stood like sentinels along curves in the road from one end of the state to the other, creating a powerful, highly visible community of faith for all to ponder.
