The Charter Oak Tale and a Theater of Hearsay
A fragmentary chronicle links Hartford’s Charter Oak legend to the 1687 seizure attempt by Andros and a subsequent civic vigil. The piece recounts the oak’s concealment by Captain Wadsworth, its long-standing guardian status for settlers and Indians, its fall on August 21, 1850, and the town’s somber response. It also tucks in a brief quip about a keen witness in a separate Youth’s Companion scene.
