Praise For It Happened in Connecticut…
“Thank you to Diana McCain for these twenty-five forays into the big house of Connecticut history. Her writing is clear and the episodes well chosen. Taken together, they prove that what I didn’t know about my own state could fill a book.”
—Charles Monagan, editor of Connecticut Magazine and author of Connecticut Icons
