Description
Excerpt from Early Homesteads of Pomfret and Hampton
History tells us that from time immemorial it has been a trail, the laying-out of it being unknown. Over this trail the first white man trod, his pack on his back, seeking a new home in the wilderness. The pioneers called it the way to Woodstock.
From tracing the old highway, your author has gathered folklore which is the nucleus of these stories. Facts and dates came from the hallowed pages of history, research of town records and genealogies, excursions into neglected burying-grounds where time and the elements have nearly erased humble names and reverent inscriptions, or where lilacs, roses, and tiger lilies mark the site of early dwellings.
