  As with a well-loved family member, it can be hard to nail down in a fewwords the character of a particular state. A series of images may come tomind instead--the natural wonders, man-made landmarks, familiar haunts and even the native products and foods that express the tone and character of the place we call home. Charles Monagan has been discovering and describing such Connecticut Icons for years on the back page of Connecticut Magazine. Within this gift book are a collection of 50 of his favorites, each with afull-page photograph and entertaining, informative background story. Fromthe Yale Bowl to the hot lobster roll, the U.S.S. Nautilus to the MerrittParkway, Monagan successfully captures the independent spirit and localpride of this New England state.
