Description

In 1681, just twenty-eight humble log cabins built around a marshy green made up what is today Waterbury, Connecticut.

The town flourished, and by 1850, its brass- and button-making industries welcomed the Industrial Revolution.

When the call came for the Civil War and World Wars I and II, Waterbury gave generously: buttons, to adorn United States military uniforms; and young soldiers, to fight for freedom and become heroes.

A Brief History of Waterbury details the ebb and flow of this Connecticut town, the climb to its height, the struggles through adversity and scandal and the glory of modern-day triumphs.

In this endlessly intriguing account, authors Edith Reynolds and John Murray uncover the true reaches of Waterbury's dynamic spirit.
