About this item

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.
