This book is about the Scoville family who came from England to Connecticut in the 1660's. The Scoville's were on a continuous move westward, seeking new horizons and opportunities. The story begins with the immigrant ancestor Arthur Scoville, who had settled in the Connecticut River Valley and whose descendants are part of the fabric of the early settlers throughout the United States. You will find adventures, sorrows, and just "everyday people" in this work. Some were farmers, railroad men and store keepers. Others served in the Revolutionary War and Civil War. Each person has a story to tell. In addition, the book has many photos and news paper articles. If you are a descendant of Arthur Scoville, this book is for you.
