Excerpt from Life Along the Connecticut River The four Connecticut lakes which store the waters coming down from the spongy trout brooks and start the long river on its course lie some sixteen hundred feet nearer the clouds than does the river's mouth. Back Lake, First, Second, and Third Connecticut Lakes are their names, and although not gems they are deserving of something more descriptive than numbers. They all lie within the town of Pittsburg which, with its 360 square miles, is about ten times the area of the average New England township, but it has a population of only 67 1 which means more than half a square mile to every inhabitant, plenty of room to provide a refuge for all the non-aryans.
