Miner, presi- dent of the New London Chamber of Commerce, spoke in relation to the subject. - Another matter on the program was the project of establishing hourly ser- ‘vice between New London and Willi- ‘mantic by the operation of motor vehicles on the Central Vermont rafl- way tracks. There was a good sized delegation of ladies present from Norwich. The Nipmuck trail port follows: , The committée appointed at the De- cember meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut, held at Norwich on the 15th of the month, for the purpose of making a study of Tndian trails in eastern Connecticut, their history and such other informa. tion as may be of value in determin- ing what action this body might take with reference to the proposed trail ieading from n ‘Webster in a south- erly direction, passing gh Put- nam, Danielson, Plainfield, Jewett City, Norwich to New Londorf, its southern terminus, begs leave to submit tne fol- lowing report: ’ Your committee obtained the data for the report from no less authority than that to be found in Miss Caulkins’ History of Norwich, History of the Indian Tribes of Comnecticut, by John W, DeForest, from the earliest known period up to 1850, and History of Windham County, by Ellen D. Larned, Vol 1, 1600-1760. As a basis for the name ‘of such a trail, the name Nip- muck trail was first suggested, pre- sumably because a tribe of that name, prior to the settlement of New Ep: land, occupied a tract of land nd- ing from the Atlantic ocean to the Connecticut river, now known as_the towns of Woodstock, Thompson, Put- pnam, Pomfret, Brooklyn, Kilingt Sterling, Plainfield, Canterbury, Bas ford, Ashford, Chaplin, Hampton, Windham, Scotland and Voluntown and formerly a part of Windham county. Its area comprised a little less than 553 square miles. TIts in- habitants were known collectively as Nipmucks or Nipnets, meaning pond or fresh water Indians, in distinction from_river and shore Indians. The Great Fishing Lake. One of their favorite fishing grounds and resorts was the great lake Chau- bunnagunggamaug, the bound mark between Nipmuck and Narragansett territory. This lake lies a few rods forth of the present northern boun- dary line of ‘Windham county, and the Nipmucks claimed land- some 18 or They had no grand sachem of their own, and were subject sometimes to one and some- times to another of the more powerful communities around them. They wete subject clans of little spirit or dis- tinction, their number was small, and they spent their time chiefly in hunt- ing and fishing, idling and squabbling, . At the termination of King Philip war, those of the Nipmucks dwelfing east of the Quinebaug or Mohegan river went with the Narragansetts. Those west of the river went with the Mohegans -and the powerful Uncas. ‘The ipmuck trall over which this scattered tribe passed when _seeking safety from the enemies on the north and east runs in a straight line from the northerly boundary of the town of Norwich, at a point near Occum, near the junction of the Little river and the ‘Shetucket, thence following the course of the former in a straight line, due north through what is now the village of Hanover, Howard's Valley to Hampton, where It leaves the Littie river and curves in a northeasterly di- rection to a point in the town of Woodstock where it joined the old Connecticut path or trail Mohegan Tra#l Recommended. In view of the facts submitted in the foregoing, substantiated by the best authority extant in.Indian his- tory, covering the section of Connecti- cut with which this committes has to do, we feel that to sacrifice truth for expediency would not be tolerated by the chamber. Therefore it is our unanimous opinion that the trail fol- lowing the course of the Quinebaug fiver to the objective referred to in the authority vested in us by this chamber, viz, to a point in southern Massachusetts known as ‘We , can- not consistently or tru be called the Nipmuck trail. With this point definitely settled, it is the duty of your committee to recommend in thelr judgment, after considering all the facts at hand, would be a suitable name for this highway, and your com- mittee has settled upon the Mol trail as a fitting name, and will state briefly our reasons and our grounds m;’ same: s re- ought.

Fifth—lohegan park, located with- in the city limits, comprises some 375 acres of iind, is noted for its rare scenic beauties. In its center is the lake, over a mile in circumference, bearing the proud name Mohegan. Sixta—Mohegan turnpike: The rced leading from Norwich to New London, was laid out as early as 1670, but was little better than an Indien trial. In 1792 it was made a turnpike, the firet| in the United States, the funds for il improvement being” raised by lottery, granted for the purpose by the legisia- ture. Along this turnpike midway be- tween Norwich and New L on i located the Indian village of Mohegan, the home of Uncas and his Indian tribe. Here is to be seen the remaiis of the old Indian fort. Here dwells the remnant of this once powerful A few families still in. Here is to be ' seen the Mohegan church, where scrvices are being con- ducted every Sabbath. A fund was established in 1821 for promoting the civilization of the Indians. The land on which the.chapel was built was given by two Mohegan females, Cyn- thia Hoscoat and Lucy Tee-Comme- waw. Seventh—Other points of interest for tourists who journey over the Mohe- gan trail are the following: The Falis at Norwich. _The Falis at Norwich, in the Yan- tic river, appear to have been the fa- vorite resort of the Mohegans. This picturesque spot, says tradition, is where Miantonomo leaped some 30 feet across the gorge, 160 feet in depth, when pursued by Uncas and his fol- lowers after the battle at East Great Plain. Tradition further relates that one of his legs was broken in making the leap, and that he continued to fun a mile farther before being captured, under great pain and suffering. The Falls are now referred to as Uncas Leap. East Great Plain, on the western boundary of the city of Nor- wich, is the spot where Uncas chose to give battle to Miantonomo when he led his followers into the Nohegan territory, with the result that the Nar- ragansetts were nearly exterminated. This report would not be compicte without reference,to ‘that intrepid sol- dier, Capt. John last resting place is just north of Norwich Town Green, near Bean Hill, on the west side of the highway leading tow- ards Willimantic. On a knoll is an impressive granite shaft bearing this inscription: This monument was placed on this spot on Mason Hill in 1776 in honor of Capt. John Mason. 'he monument also has inscribed upon its sides the names of the old Puritanical settlers of the neighbor- hood, viz, the Huntingtons, Caulkins, Hydes, Tracys, Rogers, and others. © Guardian of Mohega: gans and saw to it that they were not robbed of their lands by dishonest white settlers. Mason will be remembered as one who led a small band of English set- tlers against Sassacus, the sachem of the Pequots, attacking them within their fort at the head of the Mystic river, killing some 400 of their brave: together with women and children, thus practically forever putting an end to that ever-present menace to the safety and peace of the early white settlers of eastern Connecticut. Sassa- cus escaped and made his way to the Mohawk country, where he was later murdered. in this con- ‘the % today Jis mny the south- ern terminus of the proposed trail, in (Continued on Page 13, Fourth Col.)
