Connecticut River Reeds is a book written by Josiah Dean Canning and originally published in 1892. It is a historical account of the early settlement and development of the Connecticut River Valley in New England, specifically focusing on the reed industry that flourished there in the 19th century. The book provides a detailed description of the harvesting, processing, and weaving of reeds, which were used to make a variety of products such as baskets, hats, and furniture. Canning also explores the social and economic impact of the reed industry on the local communities, as well as the environmental consequences of its exploitation. The book features numerous illustrations and photographs, as well as personal anecdotes and interviews with local residents. Overall, Connecticut River Reeds offers a unique perspective on a little-known aspect of American history and is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of industry and craftsmanship in New England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
