Excerpt from Centennial History of Cleveland A Brief notice of some facts connected with the early history of Connecticut is necessary in order to better appreciate and understand the history of Cleveland, therefore we turn back to the time when Gov. Wins-low, of Plymouth Colony, visited Connecticut in the year 1631 with a commission from Lord Say and Seal, Lord Brook and several other noblemen interested in the Connecticut patent, for the purpose of erecting a fort on the Connecticut River. He was, undoubtedly, the first white man to view the scenery along that beautiful river. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
