| Summary |
"In 1831 one-third of the United States Senate and one-fourth of the House of Representatives had been born in Connecticut. Alexis de Tocqueville toured the United States in that year and was struck by the remarkable contributions made by Connecticut, and in July of 1831 while addressing a group of Americans he delivered the follwing grand sentiment: 'Connect-deCoot, de leetle yellow spot dat make de clock-peddler, de schoolmaster, and de senator. De first give you time, de second tell you what to do with him, and de tird make your law and your civilization. Ah, gentleman, dat lettle yellow state you call Connect-de-Coot is one very great mirale to me'"--Page 4 of cover. |
