Dooling, Michael C. An Historical Account of Charles Island - Milford, Connecticut, The Carrollton Press 2006
Fine

Charles Island has captured the imaginations of Milford residents and visitors for many years. Yet, until now there has been no comprehensive history written about the island. Included are the historical facts surrounding: the days of the Sachem Ansantawae, its likely discovery by Adriaen Block in 1614 (including a copy of his original hand-drawn map), the origins of the persistent Captain Kidd legend that has a basis in historical fact - Kidd is known to have visited Milford and to have buried part of his treasure along Long Island Sound, the first home built on the island in 1835 by John Harris, the large resort, known as Charles Island House and later as Ansantawae House in the 1850s and 1860s with steamboat service from New Haven and Bridgeport, it's use as a base of operations for a fish fertilizer company, causing considerable controversy among Milford residents and two legal actions, a religious retreat in the 1930s run by the Dominican fathers, a venture that got off to a sad start when six workmen from the retreat were drowned when returning from the island, its "almost" uses - over the years, Charles Island was considered for use as a summer home for a major yacht club, an amusement park, a submarine-chaser base during World War I, a reformatory and a nuclear power plant, its use as a backdrop in a surprising number of fictional stories including two by one of the owners of the island. Several of these stories are reprinted in this book - the first time they have appeared in print in over a hundred years. Dozens of maps, woodcuts, old advertisements, manuscripts, portraits, photographs, and personal accounts provide a perspective of the island's history never before seen. The author is an antiquarian bookseller and historical writer. Michael has extensive experience performing research using rare books, maps, historic archives and original manuscripts and is the author of several historical works published in The Log of Mystic Seaport, Naval History and other respected journals.
