Bushnell Curtis C (Curtis Clark)

Bushnell Curtis C (Curtis Clark) represents Curtis C. Bushnell, a Connecticut local historian born in 1870. Historical Sketch of Old Fair Haven With Additional Notes documents the Fair Haven section of New Haven and was published in 1916. The work belongs to Connecticut geography and United States local history, while a modern reproduction runs roughly thirty to forty pages depending on the edition. The book preserves names, places, and civic details connected with an older neighborhood rather than presenting a broad state history. Later reprints, including a 2009 BiblioBazaar paperback, kept Bushnell’s authorship and the extended title while making the early twentieth-century study accessible in a new physical edition. Bushnell’s contribution is compact but specific: a focused account of Old Fair Haven supplemented by notes that retain community details useful to local and family historians.
