Newgate of Connecticut, Its Origin and Early History is a historical account written by Richard Harvey Phelps in 1876. The book provides a detailed description of the famous Simsbury Mines and Caverns, which were discovered in the late 18th century and became a popular tourist attraction in the 19th century. The author also explores the history of the prison that was built over the mines, which housed some of Connecticut's most notorious criminals during the 19th century. Phelps delves into the origins of the prison, the conditions that prisoners faced, and the various attempts made to reform the prison system. The book is a fascinating look at a unique piece of American history and provides insight into the early years of Connecticut's criminal justice system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
