Book excerpt: Morgan Bulkeley first saw the Berkshires on a golden fall day in 1928. A day's outing from school had brought him up Bear Mountain where he ate a sandwich while his eyes feasted on the natural beauty spread around him. He was fourteen and had fallen in love with a place. Seven years later, after college, leaving behind the hurly-burly of commercial life, he went to live Thoreau-like in a small cabin on the shores of Plantain Pond on Mount Washington.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Vermont Firsts and Other Claims to Fame examines the pivotal American Revolutionary War skirmish and the men behind it. In April 1775, a small band of men set out from Hartford and traveled swiftly north toward the shore of Lake Champlain, recruiting men to their expedition along the way. Within only a few days, this loyal group of volunteers arrived in Vermont and, joining forces with Ethan Allen and his legendary Green Mountain Boys, launched a daring attack to capture more than one hundred cannons stored at Fort Ticonderoga. In this comprehensive look at “America's First Victory,” Richard Smith traces the Patriots’ route from Connecticut, through the towns of western Massachusetts and the Berkshire hills and north to Bennington, Vermont, and Lake Champlain. He chronicles the rival expedition led by Benedict Arnold, his confrontation with Allen, and the surprise attack that changed the course of the American Revolution.
Book Synopsis A History of the County of Berkshire, Massachusetts by : Chester Dewey
Download or read book A History of the County of Berkshire, Massachusetts written by Chester Dewey and published by . This book was released on 2012-07-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1826 the Berkshire Association of Congregational Ministers voted to commission a written history of the county. It was an ambitious project: The group envisioned a book that "would embrace everything important in it, whether natural or artificial, civil, literary, or religious." A History of the County of Berkshire, published in 1829, is the result of a fruitful collaboration. The two men most responsible for the finished bookRev. David Dudley Field and Professor Chester Deweytook their instructions to heart. They and the book's contributors produced a wonderfully detailed portrait of western Massachusetts: its natural history; the formation of settlements and local economies; its religious, political, and social history; and biographical sketches of eminent residents.Anyone interested in the early history of Berkshire County, its landscape, and people will find this book to be a bountiful resource.Chester Dewey was born on a farm in Sheffield, Massachusetts, in 1784, and graduated from Williams College in 1806. He briefly served as a minister before returning to Williams in 1808 as a tutor, achieving the rank of professor in 1810. He taught a range of subjects, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, and botany. From 1827 to 1836 he was principal of the Berkshire Gymnasium (a boys' school) in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Beginning in the 1820s and continuing for two decades he was a lecturer as two western New England Medical Schools. In 1836 he moved to Rochester, New York, to become head of the high school (later known as Rochester Collegiate Institute). In 1850 Dewey was a founding faculty member of the University of Rochester, where he taught chemistry and natural sciences until his retirement in 1861. He died in 1867.David Dudley Field, Sr., was a Congregational clergyman and historical writer. He was born in East Guilford (Madison), Connecticut, in 1871. He graduated from Yale in 1802 and held pastorates at Haddam, Connecticut, and Stockbridge, Massachusetts. He died in 1867 and is buried at Stockbridge Cemetery. Four of his sons achieved national distinction: David Dudley Field, Jr., lawyer, law reformer, and politician; Cyrus West Field, businessman and founder of Atlantic Telegraph Company, which laid the first Atlantic telegraph cable; Stephen Johnson Field, lawyer, jurist, and U.S. Supreme Court justice; and Henry Martyn Field, clergyman and author.

Book excerpt: "Before it became a haven for arts and culture, the Berkshires was a rugged, sparsely populated frontier. From the early days of Revolutionary fervor and industrial enterprise to today's tourism, many chilling stories remain. A lost girl haunts a cemetery in Washington, and mysterious spirits still perform at Tanglewood. From the ghostly halls of the Houghton Mansion to the eerie events at the Hoosac Tunnel, residents and visitors alike have felt fear and awe in these hills, telling tales of shadow figures, disembodied voices and spectral trains. Author Robert Oakes, who has given ghost tours at The Mount in Lenox for more than a decade, leads this spirited journey through history."--Page 4 of cover.
