Readers know they are in for true historical intrigue and armchair adventure through the darker side of Connecticut’s Colonial history upon reading the William Faulkner passage New Milford author Michael-John Cavallaro quotes on one of the first pages of his new book, “Tales of Old New Milford: Slavery, Crime and Punishment on the Connecticut Frontier.”
“The past is never dead,” it reads. “It’s not even past.”
This is a truth historian and conservationist Mr. Cavallaro knows well. Indeed, he is a witness of such an adage, and he has kept it alive himself, having dedicated more than a decade of his life to chronicling the history of New Milford, a true Connecticut frontier. His first book, “Tales of Old New Milford: “The History, Legend and Lore of a Connecticut Frontier Town,” which the author spent 10 years researching and writing, provided readers with New Milford’s “colorful and eventful early history.”
