Download or read book Historic Towns of New England (Classic Reprint) written by Lyman P. Powell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Towns of New England If one will walk about New England towns one will find in each a church, a town-house, and a school, and in most of them a railroad station and a factory. In the majority of them there will also be a public library, small perhaps and usually housed in the town-house, but open to all, and supported from the public funds. In the larger towns, especially in those where manufacturing is a prominent factor in the communal prosperity, a hospital, supported by public taxation, is open to all. In almost every town there is a grass-covered, tree-shaded common, which serves as a village or town park, and on it usually stand memorial tablets or statues testifying to the valor of the dead who went forth to fight in the War of the Revolution or in the Civil War.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Seaport Towns of New England Somewhere Kipling intimated that a happy state of existence would be his who might contrive to pursue spring on her flight around the earth, living everlastingly in that divine season. I feel sure, were that possible, that nowhere else would spring show herself more adorable than in her New England incarnation, following on a grim season of storm and biting cold, incredible, save for her actual presence, a shimmer of colour, a wonder of fragrance, a creature of unbelievable light and youth and grace, playing over the ancient rock and hardy vegetation of that north ern land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early New England Towns: A Comparative Study of Their Development The purpose of this work is to give in some detail an account of the institutional life of a Massachusetts town of the seventeenth century by means of a comparison of the institutions of five of the earliest of these towns, - Sa1em, Dorchester, Watertown, Roxbury and Cambridge. To accomplish this, it was found necessary to omit many of the more picturesque features connected With the settlement and early years of these towns and to confine this investiga tion-to the institutions and to their development during the century. This was the more easily done since the former phase of town history has been so well treated already that it seems impossible to improve upon the accounts we now have.

Her first settlers, while yet in the discomforts of their log huts, watching with sleepless vigilance the lurking savage, made education and religion the first objects of interest, and reared the school-house and the sanctuary. Upon these great principles, - universal education and freedom of conscience, - they based the grand super structure they have reared at such cost. Material was being prepared for a great edifice, and it must be out, not from clay but solid granite. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a New England Town The interest that attached to the articles on old-time Meriden by Faith (mrs. Frances A. Breckenridge), as printed originally in Tfie Meriden Daily journal, led to the belief that published in book form they would prove entertaining, not only to present and former Meriden people, but to the readers of New England generally; for Meriden as described in Faith's quaint way in the following chapters, is typical of the New England villages of the first and second quarters of the century. To the newspaper articles have been added many chapters on subjects that cannot fail to engage the pleasant attention of all who would like to know What rural New England was like half a century and more ago. One great value that the work has is the absolutely correct historical information that it contains. What is told here is authenticated by carefully preserved family records, and personal knowledge of the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Homes of New England Tm: study of Old houses grows in interest with each additional discovery of good material, such as can be found in the old New England towns and cities, more especially those along the seacoast. The preservation Of these Old houses has done much to give us correct ideas' of the interiors, though many of these, with the change of owners, have been stripped of their colonial furnishings. Most of the houses that are shown in this book are private homes which have been opened by the owners to allow pictured representations of correct ancestral furnishing. Houses such as these possess the great est charm - ancestral homes that have descended from generation to generation in the same family since their founding. It has been a great pleasure to be allowed to visit these old mansions, which show wonderful staircases, richly carved mantels, and colonial windows, each one of which is an architectural gem. Through pictured homes like these one is given a deeper interest in the early life of our country and realizes more than ever before what the colonial period stood for in home building.

Book Synopsis Historic Hadley by : Alice Morehouse Walker
Download or read book Historic Hadley written by Alice Morehouse Walker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Hadley: A Story of the Making of a Famous Massachusetts Town Love of one's own town is one of the dominant motives underlying good citizenship. The origin, growth, and development of a typical New England town, covering two centuries and a half, is a theme on which any thoughtful person may profitably dwell. In these busy days, however, few people have the time necessary to read a ponderous volume. For the many rather than the few this little book has been written. The lands of the early settlers of Hadley arc passing into the possession of the children of aliens, and the town-meeting, church, school, and homes are for these strangers to control. This book is for these also, that they may be imbued with the spirit of those mighty souls, which remains still potent enough to make Americans out of Europeans, even as in 1776 it made patriots and freemen out of the subjects of King George. In the endeavor to make these pages interesting and to impart to them the fascination of a story, truth has not been sacrificed to style.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Genesis of a New England State (Connecticut) In the new interest which has sprung up of late years in the institutional history Of the United States, it is a little strange that the territorial forms and features, the bodies, of the States themselves are usually left so far out of account. It may be that this neglect has come from their comparative constancy Of outline. It is easy to trace most Of the internal workings Of the State to the town system or its equivalents, and to accept them as a purely natural outgrowth. But it is just as easy to see that the external outline of New York, Illinois, or Texas has, from a very early period, been much the same as at present, and to accept it as artificial, as imposed On the State spirit by some superior power.

Download or read book In and About Historic Boston (Classic Reprint) written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In and About Historic Boston The military expeditions which marked Colonial New England as the land of an aggressive people received their inspiration in Boston, and recruited their strength largely from the sturdy citizens of Massachusetts Colony. It was in this section that the spirit of resistance to British tyranny found vent in action, rather than in words only. In Faneuil Hall, the Cradle of Liberty, the new spirit was truly nurtured and the city is fortunate in having preserved so much that is associated with the stirring times of the Tea Party, Bunker Hill, Paul Revere, and the famous Siege which ended when Washington fortified Dorchester Heights. The surrounding country is also rich in historical associations. To the south is Plymouth, where the Pilgrims landed in 1620, and Duxbury, the home of Standish; to the west are Lexington and Concord, where the first blood of the Revolution was shed, and the shot fired which was heard round the world; to the east are the historic towns of Lynn, Salem and Marblehead, where stirring scenes were enacted in pre-revolutionary times, and where the new has not been permitted to entirely obliterate the memories of the past.

Book Synopsis History of the Town of Holland by : Martin Lovering
Download or read book History of the Town of Holland written by Martin Lovering and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Holland: Massachusetts He who would write the history Of a town must have not only the historic insight but an abounding sympathy for its peo ple. He should be a lover of humanity and enter as completely as possible into the civil and social life of the people, deeming nothing too trivial for notice if it only brings to the reader more clearly the life of the town as it really was in the period covered. As it is the history of a small region it will necessarily be local, yet its local color may add greatly to its historic interest and charm if it be properly used. Men in town and domestic life where they are known intimately by their neighbors, and take their places in the shifting panorama of town life during a period of nearlv one hundred and fifty years, having their entrances and their exits, form a picture that has charm to it for the student of human life, and especially so when some of them were pioneers and the first white men to settle in the region, the picture seems like the changing portraiture of life as it is frequently put upon the stage. Now and then one runs across an item in the town records that bears upon state or national history and not a matter for town deliberation at all. Yet the action taken reveals the local feeling upon the questions at issue, and may reflect a state of feeling nation-wide, although the vote may seem to be ridiculous ly out out Of place now. But such votes impress one with a sense Of our democratic institutions and show vividly how they are the outgrowth of public sentiment and feeling and are ser vants of the public will. What the state owes to its small towns like Holland is a matter hard to estimate, but that the town has borne a brave and honorable part in the development of the state and nation, her history affords ample proof. The present work is a product of spare hours employed for relaxation and diversion from pastoral duties. Its possibility was suggested through historical research rendered necessary in the preparation of an historical address delivered Aug. 25, 1912, in the Congregational Church of Holland. That a work Of this kind should be free from all errors is too much to be expected. That they shall be as few as possible has been the author's wish and aim, and to that end he has spent many an hour weighing conflicting evidence. That the work will prove equally satisfactory to all its readers is not to be expected. He has selected such material as seemed to him to be important and available and he hopes that nothing vitally important in the town's history has been omitted. Tradition has not been ignored, but it has not been allowed to set aside, or contradict, recorded facts. Until a better history of the town be produced, he hopes the present work will find a place upon the shelves of all interested in local history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old New England Town: Sketches of Life, Scenery, Character The old New England town has peculiar interest for us. It has taken a conspicuous part in the development of our social life and political institutions. And there are few towns that have achieved a more honorable distinction than Fairfield. Mindful of this fact, the Daughters of the American Revolution who constitute the Eunice Dennie Burr Chapter invited the writer of the following papers to give a course of lectures upon the old New England town which was especially dear to them. He was pleased to accept this courteous invitation, for his love of Fairfield was deep and strong, and he appreciated the fact that the town had made large and notable contributions to the life of the Colony and the Republic.
