The celebrated history of New Haven often overshadows its fascinating
and forgotten past.
The Elm City was home to America's first woman dentist, an architect who
designed the tallest twin towers in the world and a medical student who
used toy parts to create an artificial heart pump. The city's share of
disasters includes Connecticut's worst aviation crash, a zookeeper who
was mauled to death and a fire at the Rialto Theater. Local authors
Robert and Kathleen Hubbard reveal the rich and fascinating cultural
legacies of one of New England's most treasured cities.
