HURRY DOWN GUNNTOWN - A WILD RIDE WRITTEN AS ONE HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Hurry Down Gunntown - A Small Town Tale Of A Stolen Boy And Land Saved simultaneously takes the reader into the whirlwind of two conflicts separated by two centuries. The land in the Gunntown neighborhood of Naugatuck, CT more than weaves the centuries together. It makes the ecology and tumultuous history of the land have one continuous narrative. The author tells the modern day story as memoir while a kidnapped boy writes in his journal retrospectively and reveals the 18th century tale. Young people, conflicted in their viewpoints, attempted to rescue one of their own in March of 1780 and, two hundred twenty years later, it was young people who mobilized to save the land itself. The survival of a young boy, and the survival of the very land that shrouded his tormentors, made it necessary to Hurry Down Gunntown.
