Synopsis
Excerpt from Rural Life in Litchfield County
In many places in the county will be found extensive, low, peaty tracts of land, that once represented lake areas, but which have been filling in for thousands of years by the slow growth and decay of vegetation. In some instances such areas still have a small lake or pond near the center, as in the case of Beeslick Pond in Salis bury. During the slow processes of time, water-weeds crept into these old lakes, peat moss and bushes reached out from the shallow water at the edge, and in the course of many years the lake was transformed into a mere bog, rich in all kinds of botanical treasures. After many more years, as the outcome of changes due to tillage and drainage, it may have become a good piece of mowing land.
