Produced by Colin Bell, Joseph Cooper, Diane Monico, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Tree That Saved Connecticut" by Henry Fisk Carlton is a historical play written in the early 20th century. The book explores a critical moment in Connecticut's colonial history during the late 17th century, focusing on the struggle for self-governance and the defense of the colony's charter. This dramatic work brings to life key figures and events that shaped the early governance of Connecticut. The play unfolds around the contentious political atmosphere between Governor Treat of Connecticut and Governor Andros of New York. Faced with the threat of losing their rights, Governor Treat and the assembled representatives devise a plan to safeguard their charter, which becomes central to their identity and governance. As tensions escalate, the charter is ingeniously hidden in a hollow within the iconic Charter Oak tree to prevent its capture by Andros’s forces. The story culminates in a dramatic confrontation, preserving the charter and Connecticut's autonomy, underscoring themes of resistance and resilience in the face of oppression. The historical significance of both the charter and the oak tree becomes a symbol of state pride and self-determination, celebrated in Connecticut's lore.
