Ledyard

Town in southeastern Connecticut, on the Thames River, 11 km/7 mi northeast of New London; population (1990) 14,900. Situated in a farming area, it is largely residential. The first legal gambling casino in New England opened here in February 1992.

The casino, known as Foxwoods, promises to transform the life of Ledyard and nearby rural communities. Ledyard is also the site of Fort Decatur, built during the War of 1812.

But perhaps the mere crossing of Siberia in a sledge drawn by dogs as Ledyard did, or the taking a long solitary walk on an empty stomach, in the negro heart of Africa, which was the sum of poor Mungo's performances -- this kind of travel, I say, may not be the very best mode of attaining a high social polish.
Moby Dick I-LXVII by Melville, Herman View in context
