Between this mountain and the Connecticut river for many rods, is built the public high-way; and in several places there is only room enough for oneteam to pass, and so narrow that two teams cannot meet and pass each other. A ledge of rocks extends from the precipitous mountain that rises several hundred feet perpendicularly, westward into the Connecticut river, so near the western shore that the waters rush very swiftly through the narrow channel. The whole scenery is very picturesque, and gave to the locality the name of "Narrows". It is noted throughout New England. It was near this place that Glazier Wheeler lived and operated in counterfeit money, whose name was coupled with Stephen Burroughs, in the early settlement of the town. From twenty to thirty rods south of the foot of Gardner's mountain there is a strip of very rich tillable land; on this strip of land, high above the main road, stood a framed house, occupied in early times by the various owners of the land, and several of them were members of the Annis family. South of this ferile strip a ledge of rocks rises from six to fifteen feet above the level of the land. South of this low outcrop of rocks extends for several rods almost a level bluff of land without any stones. This plot of land was used as a grave yard by the early settlers in that vicinity. There were only a few headstones that marked the graves. Moses Abbott, commonly called "Grub" Abbott, bought the farm about 1851 or a little later, dug up the headstones and threw them heartlessly upon the adjoining ledge; and tilled the land so sacred to the early settlers, who had nearly all passed from memory. Now (1909), the same locality has been sold to the brick-makers for the purpose of working the bluff into bricks.
