Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial Celebration of the Town of Sheffield: Berkshire Co;, Mass; June 18th and 19th, 1876 At a Town Meeting, legally called, held in Sheffield, Berkshire Co., Mass., on the 18th of June, 1776, Capt. William Day being chosen moderator, and Stephen Dewey being town clerk, the report of a committee, consisting of "Colo Ashley, Doctor Lemuel Barnard, Colo John Fellows, Colo Aron Root & Capt. Nathel Austin" - which committee was chosen "to draw a Resolve to send to the Representative" - was heard, and "It was put to vote - Whether the inhabitants of the Sd town of Sheffield, should the Honble Continental Congress in their wisdom think prudent and for interest and safety of the American Colonies to declare sd colonies independent of the kingdom of Great Britton, they the inhabitants of sd Sheffield will solemnly engage with their lives and fortunes to support them in their measures. 1876. At the Annual Town Meeting, held April 3, 1876, attention was called to the vote passed by the town on June 18, 1776, and on motion it was unanimously voted that the Centennial Anniversary of the day be observed in a fitting manner. Rev. Orville Dewey, D. D., Oliver Peck, M. D., J. Leland Miller, M. D., and Rev. Mason Noble, Jr., were chosen a committee to arrange for such a celebration as would properly commemorate the prompt and energetic patriotism of the fathers of the town. The committee thus appointed made arrangements which, through the willing cooperation of our citizens, were duly and fully carried out. They at first met with some disappointments. F. A. P. Barnard, S. T. D., LL. D., President of Columbia College, was obliged, because of previous engagements, to decline their invitation to take part in the exercises. From Rev. Edmund S. Janes, D. D., Bishop of the Meth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across nineteenth-century New England, antiquarians and community leaders wrote hundreds of local histories about the founding and growth of their cities and towns. Ranging from pamphlets to multivolume treatments, these narratives shared a preoccupation with establishing the region as the cradle of an Anglo-Saxon nation and the center of a modern American culture. They also insisted, often in mournful tones, that New England’s original inhabitants, the Indians, had become extinct, even though many Indians still lived in the very towns being chronicled. InFirsting and Lasting, Jean M. O’Brien argues that local histories became a primary means by which European Americans asserted their own modernity while denying it to Indian peoples. Erasing and then memorializing Indian peoples also served a more pragmatic colonial goal: refuting Indian claims to land and rights. Drawing on more than six hundred local histories from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island written between 1820 and 1880, as well as censuses, monuments, and accounts of historical pageants and commemorations, O’Brien explores how these narratives inculcated the myth of Indian extinction, a myth that has stubbornly remained in the American consciousness. In order to convince themselves that the Indians had vanished despite their continued presence, O’Brien finds that local historians and their readers embraced notions of racial purity rooted in the century’s scientific racism and saw living Indians as “mixed” and therefore no longer truly Indian. Adaptation to modern life on the part of Indian peoples was used as further evidence of their demise. Indians did not—and have not—accepted this effacement, and O’Brien details how Indians have resisted their erasure through narratives of their own. These debates and the rich and surprising history uncovered in O’Brien’s work continue to have a profound influence on discourses about race and indigenous rights.
