  • The Nayigation of the Connecticut River
    1903.] The Navigation of the Connecticut River. 385 THE NAYIGATION OF THE CONNECTICUT RIVER. BY W. DELOSS LOVE. THE discovery of the Connecticut river has been generally attributed hy histoi'ians to Adriaen Block. If Giovanni da Verrazano in 1524 or Estovan Gomez in 1525 sailed by its mouth, we have no record of the fact ; and it is very doubtful whether a river, whose semicircle of sand bars must have proclaimed it such, would have attracted much attention from any navigator seeking a northwest passage. In 1614, Block, having completed his yacht the Onrust [Restless], set sail from Manhattan to explore the bays and rivers to the. eastward. His vessel was well adapted to his purpose, being of sixteen tons burden, forty-four and a half feet long and eleven and a half feefc wide. He was able thus to obtain a more exact knowledge of the coast, as may be seen by the "Figurative Map," which is sup- posed to exhibit the results of his explorations.^ At the mouth of the Connecticut river he found the water quite shallow, but the draught of his yacht enabled him to cross the bar Avithout danger and the white man was soon for the first time folloAving northward the course of New Eng- land's longest river. There were few inhabitants to be seen near the mouth, but at a point which is thought to have been just above the bend near Middletown, he came upon the lodges of. the Sequins, located on both banks of thé river. Still farther up he saw an Indian village "resembling a fort for protection against the attacks of their enemies."

  • Upper Winooski Watershed Fisheries Summary
    2017 Upper Winooski Fisheries Assessment Prepared by Bret Ladago; Fisheries Biologist, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department The Upper Winooski River watershed is defined in this fisheries assessment as the Winooski River from the headwaters in Cabot downstream to the top of the Bolton Dam in Duxbury. Introduction The Winooski River basin contains a diversity of fish species, many of which support popular recreational fisheries. Most streams within this watershed provide suitable habitat to support naturally reproducing, “wild” trout populations. Wild populations of native brook trout flourish in the colder, higher elevation streams. Lower reaches of some tributaries and much of the mainstem also support naturalized populations of wild rainbow and brown trout. Both species were introduced to Vermont in the late 1800s, rainbow trout from the West coast and brown trout from Europe. Most of the tributary streams of the Winooski River basin are managed as wild trout waters (i.e. are not stocked with hatchery-reared trout). The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department (VFWD) stocks hatchery-reared brook trout, brown trout or rainbow trout to supplement recreational fisheries in the Winooski River mainstem from Marshfield Village to Bolton Dam, as well as in the North Branch (Worcester to Montpelier) and Mad River (Warren to Moretown) where habitat conditions (e.g. temperature, flows) limit wild trout production. As mainstem conditions vary seasonally, wild trout may reside in these areas during certain times of the year. Naturally reproducing populations of trout have been observed in the upper mainstem of the Winooski as far downstream as Duxbury. Trout from mainstem reaches and larger tributaries may migrate into smaller tributary streams to spawn.

  • William Marsh, 'A Rather Shadowy Figure
    William Marsh, ‘a rather shadowy figure,’ crossed boundaries both national and political Vermont holds a unique but little-known place in eighteenth-century American and Canadian history. During the 1770s William Marsh and many others who had migrated from Connecticut and Massachusetts to take up lands granted by New Hampshire Governor Benning Wentworth, faced severe chal- lenges to their land titles because New York also claimed the area between the Connecticut and Hudson rivers, known as “the New Hampshire Grants.” New York’s aggressive pursuit of its claims generated strong political tensions and an- imosity. When the American Revolution began, the settlers on the Grants joined the patriot cause, expecting that a new national regime would counter New York and recognize their titles. During the war the American Continental Congress declined to deal with the New Hampshire settlers’ claims. When the Grants settlers then proposed to become a state separate from New York, the Congress denied them separate status. As a consequence, the New Hampshire grantees declared independence in 1777 and in 1778 constituted themselves as an independent republic named Vermont, which existed until 1791 when it became the 14th state in the Ameri- can Union. Most of the creators of Vermont played out their roles, and their lives ended in obscurity. Americans remember Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys and their military actions early in the Revolution. But Allen was a British captive during the critical years of Vermont’s formation, 1775-1778. A few oth- ers, some of them later Loyalists, laid the foundations for Vermont’s recognition and stability.
