Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Summary Military History of Worcester Very little is known to-day of what should properly be classed as military affairs in Worcester and its vicinity during the period which covers the early and unsuccessful attempts at settlement. The male inhabitants were armed if not organized against the savage foe, and doubtless more than one shot was fired, but of these and other efforts in defence of life and property no definite or particular history exists. It is not until after the time of the third settlement that recorded facts begin to give the information we seek. During the Indian troubles of 1722 Worcester furnished five men to the company of scouts under Major John Chandler. In 1723 seven of the inhabitants enlisted as soldiers and served during the winter. August 3, 1724, Uriah Ward of Worcester, in service at Rutland, was killed by Indians. The town contributed liberally to the defence of the province during the wars with the French, and expended its means freely for the reduction of the fortresses of Nova Scotia and Canada. Benjamin Gleason of Worcester died before the walls of Louisburg in 1745, and Adonijah Rice, the first-born of our native citizens, was in a company of rangers in the siege.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Worcester in the War of the Rebellion The origin of this work may be stated in few words. In the early autumn of last year, I consulted several gentlemen of this city in relation to a history of Worcester during the late civil war. I found that, in the opinion of these gentlemen, some of whom were prominent as military veterans, such a work was very desirable; that it ought to he prepared immediately while the actors in the contest were alive to give correct information; and that all those who might be considered competent to do the work, were otherwise employed. Several were pleased to speak words of encouragement to me in relation to the undertaking. Having had some experience in writing local history, and finding pleasure in the employment, I concluded to begin the volume which is now completed. And I gratefully add that the gentlemen already referred to, and others with whom the preparation of this history has brought me into occasional intercourse, have constantly given me the favor of their encouragement, and when sought for, the aid of their suggestions. The design of the work is to give a complete history of Worcester in the war against the rebellion, from the beginning to the close. Such a history should include all that was done at home, as well as in the field, in aiding the general government to suppress the rebellion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Worcester in the War of the Revolution: Embracing the Acts of the Town From 1765 to 1783 Inclusive Perhaps it is unnecessary for the writer to state that this is an unpretentious work. He has endeavored to tell the story of Worcester in the Revolution, as much as possible, in the language of the men and documents of that time. He is well aware that some of the facts narrated have become twice told tales, but he flatters himself that by far the greater portion, which has heretofore lain buried in dusty nooks and corners, is now published for the first time. In these busy times, when the thoughts and energies of the people are directed in so great a degree to the pursuit of wealth, comfort and enjoyment, it cannot be otherwise than profitable to pause and look back upon the acts of those whose wisdom, foresight and self-denial, laid the foundations of that prosperity which we their descendants enjoy - to spend a while with them and catch the inspiration of liberty and freedom from a contemplation of their sacrifices and sufferings - that we be not degenerate sons of worthy sires. There is much material accessible for an exhaustive history of Worcester during this period of its existence, some of which is carefully preserved, some hidden in the rubbish of garrets and closets, soon to find its way to market at a pittance per pound; and other still floating down through the closing years of a century in tradition, soon to be lost in distance, and buried in oblivion. Worcester has a revolutionary history to which her sons may point with pride; and "by honoring the parent, the child honors himself."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Events of Worcester: A Brief Account of Some of the Most Interesting Events Which Have Occurred in Worcester During the Past Two Hundred Years Again the Indians proved too terrifying; for the bloody happenings all about Worcester, in Queen Anne's War, caused the abandonment of the mills, the fort, and the rude log houses which had sprung up after the manner of a town. Digory Sergent stayed on after every one had gone, and paid for his risk with his life. His wife, also, was killed by the Indians and his children led away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Worcester I wrote that part of the History of Worcester County, pub lished in 1889, that dealt with the Manufacturing Industries Of the City of Worcester. In order that it might be more available for reference, I have for a long time intended to republish it in book form with such additions as I might be able to make, and with an adequate index. A work Of this sort is never completed. It is like a painting which to the eye of the artist is never finished. But if we were unwilling to turn out any but a perfect product, little would be produced. I know that there is a lack Of proportion in what I have written, due in part to the fact that I have, as far as possible, adhered to the form in which the material was originally published and in part to the fact that all the information I desired was not accessible. There must be many mistakes, omissions and inaccuracies in what I have written. I shall be very grateful to anyone who will call my attention to them to the end that at some future time an adequate history Of Industrial Worcester may be written. There is nothing which adds so much to the stability Of a community as the presence of those who have contributed largely to its growth, whose lives have become a part of it, who have placed the stamp Of their originality upon it. This is particularly true where the life of the individual spans that of the community. Such instances, unknown Of course in the Older countries and now in the earlier settled portions Of the United States, are the rule rather than the exception in many parts of the West. Within the past thirty years have died many men who could have told us the story of Worcester's industrial growth from their personal knowledge of events and the account books Of some Of them would afford a pretty accurate tracing of the progress of American manufactures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Worcester Book: A Dairy of Noteworthy Events of Noteworthy Events in Worcester, Massachusetts, From 1657 to 1883 In the preparation of this volume my purpose has been to provide a Reference Book of Dates for Worcester events, which would readily afford often desired information as to the exact time of any noteworthy local occurrence. With this end in view, a large number of items have been gathered, including not only the more important matters which are familiar in print, but also many of a kind not usually noticed in town histories. Among the latter may be mentioned the visits of literary, theatrical and musical celebrities; political conventions, meetings and disturbances; exhibitions, fairs, lectures and entertainments; riots, accidents and calamities; natural phenomena; and many things uncommon and singular. Notes, explanatory, historical, biographical or anecdotal, have been added; and a complete index will be found at the end. In the compilation of the matter I have drawn freely from the many printed works relating to the history of Worcester, both general and special; from the files of the Worcester papers, (which I have been kindly allowed to consult at my convenience at the library of the American Antiquarian Society); from the publications of The Worcester Society of Antiquity, which have supplied many original items; and from other sources too numerous to mention. I am also indebted to many persons for facts and statements included in the book, some of which appear in print for the first time.

This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of the Soldiers in the War of the Revolution From Worcester, Mass: With a Record of Their Death and Place of Burial With the organizing of the Colonel Timothy Bigelow Chapter, D. A. R., the work of locating the graves of Worcester's revolutionary soldiers was begun. The list itself was first compiled from the State Archives and a few other authentic sources. No records other than the original ones were used except in one instance, viz.-the roll of fifty-four men enlisted from Worcester under Capt. William Gates, Col. Jonathan Hol man's regiment, who marched July 17, 1776, for service in New York. Capt. Gates' record for this time can be found in the State Archives, but no roll of his men is to be found there. In 1876 Mr. Albert A. Lovell included in his history of Worcester in the War of the Revolution, a copy of this roll, the original of which he found in the possession of the American Antiquarian Society. This roll cannot now be found, and but for the copy made by Mr. Lovell the names of seventeen of these Worcester men whose only enlistment this was, would be unrecorded. After completing the list of men credited to Worcester, came the more arduous task of identifying these men, tracing many of them to other States, obtaining records of death, and locating graves. To accomplish this the sources of information have included town, church, family and county court records, registries, private papers and local newspapers. While realizing that the most exact accuracy must be observed to make such a record of value, the compiler feels that even with the greatest care errors are unavoidable where so many sources of information have been called upon. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the kindly and valuable aid so cordi ally given by the many different persons upon whom she has called for information. It is hoped the publishing of these lists will bring to her knowledge dates of death and places of burial of those she has been unable to ascertain. With this in View certain information has been in cluded in the lists which might lead to the identification of those whose death dates could not be found.

Book excerpt: The classic account of the final offensive against Hitler’s Third Reich. The Battle for Berlin was the culminating struggle of World War II in the European theater, the last offensive against Hitler’s Third Reich, which devastated one of Europe’s historic capitals and marked the final defeat of Nazi Germany. It was also one of the war’s bloodiest and most pivotal battles, whose outcome would shape international politics for decades to come. The Last Battle is Cornelius Ryan’s compelling account of this final battle, a story of brutal extremes, of stunning military triumph alongside the stark conditions that the civilians of Berlin experienced in the face of the Allied assault. As always, Ryan delves beneath the military and political forces that were dictating events to explore the more immediate imperatives of survival, where, as the author describes it, “to eat had become more important than to love, to burrow more dignified than to fight, to exist more militarily correct than to win.” The Last Battle is the story of ordinary people, both soldiers and civilians, caught up in the despair, frustration, and terror of defeat. It is history at its best, a masterful illumination of the effects of war on the lives of individuals, and one of the enduring works on World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Engrossing . . . A lengthy review of the events of the final days of Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia and the road to Appomattox” (Mark Silo, author of The 115th New York in the Civil War). The Battle of Five Forks broke the long siege of Petersburg, Virginia, triggered the evacuation of Richmond, precipitated the Appomattox Campaign, and destroyed the careers and reputations of two generals. Michael J. McCarthy’s Confederate Waterloo is the first fully researched and unbiased book-length account of this decisive Union victory and the aftermath fought in the courts and at the bar of public opinion. When Gen. Phil Sheridan’s forces struck at Five Forks on April 1, the attack surprised and collapsed Gen. George Pickett’s Confederate command and turned General Lee’s right flank. An attack along the entire front the following morning broke the siege and forced the Virginia army out of its defenses and, a week later, into Wilmer McLean’s parlor to surrender at Appomattox. Despite this decisive Union success, Five Forks spawned one of the most bitter and divisive controversies in the postwar army when Sheridan relieved Fifth Corps commander Gouverneur K. Warren for perceived failures connected to the battle. McCarthy’s Confederate Waterloo is grounded upon extensive research and a foundation of primary sources, including the meticulous records of a man driven to restore his honor in the eyes of his colleagues, his family, and the American public. The result is a fresh and dispassionate analysis that may cause students of the Civil War to reassess their views about some of the Union’s leading generals. “A detailed, scholarly analysis of one of the final battles of the American Civil War . . . A studious, unbiased account of the entire affair.” —Midwest Book Review
