This book traces the historical and geographic narrative of Goshen, Connecticut, a town which earned its nickname because its commercial center sits at a higher altitude than any other in Connecticut, acting as the watershed for eight surrounding towns. The book covers the town's biblical naming origins, its 1739 founding, agricultural boom, and early settler genealogies.
