Charles Monagan knows Connecticut. As editor of Connecticut Magazine he
has spent years discovering and describing the people, places, and
things that comprise the character of his home state.
With this entertaining collection of photos, anecdotes, and little-known
facts, Monagan presents fifty of his favorite icons--from the hot
lobster roll to the Yale Bowl, the U.S.S. Nautilus to the Merritt
Parkway--and shows native and newcomer alike the independent spirit and
local pride at the heart of this great state of Connecticut.
