'The Valley of the Connecticut', 1874. Fishing on the Connecticut River, USA. 'Among the hills of New Hampshire and Vermont the queen of our New-England rivers takes its rise. Flowing in a nearly southerly direction for four hundred miles, it forms the dividing line between the two States in which It had its birth. Crossing the States of Massachusetts and Connecticut, it empties into the Long-Island Sound'.
