Congratulations! Read more from this award winning book in our Summer 2019 issue on Contested Land! Order your copy at ctexplored.orgConnecticut Center for the Book congratulates Andrew Kahrl. Kahrl's "Free the Beaches: The Story of Ned Coll and the Battle for American's Most Exclusive Shoreline" was chosen as a finalist in non-fiction for this year's Connecticut Book Awards.

About the Book
This is the first book to explore activist Ned Coll's tenacious battles in the 1960s and 1970s to open the exclusive beaches of Connecticut to minorities and underprivileged populations. It chronicles the extreme measures coastal communities took to keep their beaches private and the unintended social and environmental costs of their efforts.

2019 Connecticut Book Awards
Winners will be announced at the 2019 Connecticut Book Awards ceremony on Sunday, October 20th from 3:00 to 5:30 PM at the Hartford Public Library. WTNH anchor and author Ann Nyberg will emcee and Philip Caputo, award-winning journalist, co-winner of a Pulitzer Prize, and author of many works of fiction and nonfiction will be the keynote speaker. The event includes a reception and book signings.

Sponsorships and tickets are available at CTCenterForTheBook.org

The last Governor who actually cared about CT history was maybe Wilbur Cross
