Where was Fort #4 located on the Connecticut? Can anyone recommend a good book re. the history of the CRV? Ken

Yes, at Charlestown, NH. There is a reconstructed "Old Fort at No. 4" there, which is a great place to visit, with lots of programs, renactments of events, and publications, including one on the early history of the fort. They have a Web site and an email address: fortat4@cyberportal.net You might try Walter Hard's "The Connecticut" written in 1947, so probably out of print now. There don't seem to be any recent comprehensive histories of the CRV. Sylvia On Fri, 20 Oct 2000 Sailor817@aol.com wrote: > Where was Fort #4 located on the Connecticut?
