For those living in Western Massachusetts in the last decade of the twentieth century, it is hard to imagine what the Connecticut River Valley looked like to those first European settlers who wandered into the region more than 350 years ago. What today is known as the Pioneer Valley has grown into an area of thriving cities, picturesque small towns, large industrial complexes, major colleges and universites, and the home of thousands of people from a variety of ethnic groups. Yet in 1636, when William Pynchon led a group of families to a small clearing on the east side of the Connecticut River - close to the site of modern day downtown Springfield - the Pioneer Valley consisted largely of virgin forests and unspoiled wilderness with a few thousand Native American inhabitants. Through more than 150 black and whtie and color photographs, many never before published - this fascinating limited edition volume brings to life the trials and hardships of those first settlers and then traces that story to the present day.
