Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During much of the twentieth century, people labeled "feeble-minded," "mentally deficient," and "mentally retarded" were often confined in large, publicly funded, residential institutions located on the edges of small towns and villages some distance from major population centers. At the peak of their development in the late 1960s, these institutions--frequently called "schools" or "homes" --housed 190,000 men, women, and children in the United States. The Girls and Boys of Belchertown offers the first detailed history of an American public institution for intellectually disabled persons. Robert Hornick recounts the story of the Belchertown State School in Belchertown, Massachusetts, from its beginnings in the 1920s to its closure in the 1990s following a scandalous exposé and unprecedented court case that put the institution under direct supervision of a federal judge. He draws on personal interviews, private letters, and other unpublished sources as well as local newspapers, long out-of-print materials, and government reports to re-create what it was like to live and work at the school. More broadly, he gauges the impact of changing social attitudes toward intellectual disability and examines the relationship that developed over time between the school and the town where it was located. What emerges is a candid and complex portrait of the Belchertown State School that neither vilifies those in charge nor excuses the injustices perpetrated on its residents, but makes clear that despite the court-ordered reforms of its final decades, the institution needed to be closed.

Little is known about Jonathan Geere, the immediate ancestor of the family in England ... Jonathan was born about 1580, and died prior to 1635, soon after the death of his wife. He left two young sons, George and Thomas, under the guardianship of an uncle. ... At an early age, their uncle, in order to obtain possession of their property, arranged to ship the two boys to America. ... [They] arrived in Boston in 1635 ... The first reliable record we find of them is that George was one of the early settlers of New London about 1651 and Thomas of Enfield in 1682"--Page 6-8. "George Greer was born about 1621 in Heavitree, Near Exeter, Devon, England; died in 1726 in Preston, Connecticut; married 17 February 1658, Sarah, daughter of Robert Allyn.
