Sketch of Connecticut, forty years since

"A descriptive work ... tracing primitive habits and traditions, with some intermingling of fiction. The scene is among the wild and beautiful regions of my native place [Norwich]; and the object of its construction was to embalm the memory and virtues of an ancient lady, my first and most beloved benefactress" [Mrs. Jerusha Lathrop]--Sigourney, Letters of life 1866, p. 328-329
