| Publisher Description: The lives of Weston's settlers from the late seventeenth century on are linked with those of Native Americans who trod the rugged wilderness before them. Today, the memory of the settlers and native people lives on in the special character of this independent town that was once part of Fairfield. Weston has long attracted a diverse group-celebrated actors, artists, authors, business executives, and media professionals-who have blended easily with farmers and craftsmen. All of them share an appreciation for the natural beauty of Weston's bogs, streams, and hilly woodlands. Through pictures, Weston tells the history of the town and the people who have loved it. |
