| Long River Winding Life, Love and Death Along the Connecticut
The Connecticut River Valley has been a watershed of American literature, leaders, and social trends, its bounty including the literature of Mark Twain in your library and the graham crackers on your kitchen table. Long River Winding collects the stories of certain people, some as famous as Twain and some obscure, who help form the spiritual landscape of the Valley. This book tells some of their stories, ranging from a titled British lady whose spirit still hovers over Old Saybrook after 350 years to a courageous police chief in the troubled industrial city of Holyoke in 2002. Some may have passed here long ago, but in their quests and their adventures they were part of the same unending stream which carries us along today. Bissland masterfully relays stories of humor and poignancy, always engaging the reader.
