Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Times on Buzzard's Bay The peculiar features stamped by them upon the towns which they founded disappeared long ago, their dwelling-houses have decayed, and many of their farms and landings have fallen into the hands of those who are spending summers of leisure on the shores of Buzzard's Bay; but their manuscript records have been preserved. From these we learn their social customs, their manner of speech, how they labored, traded, worshiped, and voted, and through them we can see the events of their times in a natural perspective. My story begins with the coming of the first settlers upon the shores of Buzzard's Bay, and ends with the coming of a railroad into the same region. The lands of Sippican and Agawame, covering the western and northern shores, were bought through the colony government from Indians, and were divided by the buyers into homesteads and farms. Families expanding around the homesteads formed the villages which were eventually united in Rochestertown.
