Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concord Some of the Things to Be Seen There This point of conscience; I the question spurn; The kindliest bosom, exile shall make stern, And days of danger, nights of want and gloom, Brush from the sensibilities the bloom. But at any rate the land was bought and paid for, and its savage grantors were so well satisfied with their bargain, that in all the Indian wars which followed, Concord was almost the only town in the entire colony that never suffered from an Indian raid upon its territory; though, to be sure, one farm was raided and one man was killed in the New Grant, an addition made to the town some years after its settlement, and later set off again. It is commonly held that it was this peaceful mode of set tling its Indian question that gave to the town its name of Concord, a name unknown until that time as the designation of any town, although it has been stated by later inquirers that it was the name that had been given by Peter Bulkeley, long before, to his old English residence at Odell.

This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Souvenir and Guide to Historic Concord and Lexington The site of this is well marked in many places throughout the town by means of monuments, tablets and stones. Perhaps the most notable of these is the Minute Man, a magnificent bronze, designed by Daniel French, a Concord boy, and marking as nearly as possible the spot where the sturdy farmers stood in their first attack. A reminder, too, of this may be seen in the old jones House which bears the mark of a British bullet. Behind this house is the Ridge which continues nearly parallel with Monument Street and Lexington Road. Along this the Minute Men pursued the British who fled along the roadway, routing them completely as they came into the open at Meriam's Corner. No rule can be laid down by which Concord can best be seen, for there are many points of interest to one, that might not seem of great moment to another, owing to the fact that there are two distinct classes who come here those who are attracted by the purely historic and those to whom the literary shrines appeal. For convenience, however, the publisher of this book has arranged the following routes all of which may best be started from Monument Square.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Concord The points of chief interest in the historical and literary associations of Old Concord, may also be depended upon for its accuracy. Its historical mat ter I have drawn from the Concord histories of Lemuel Shattuck (1835) and Charles H. Walcott from the Concord Social Circle Memoirs, from the writings of Grindall Reynolds, and from the publications of the Concord Antiquarian Soci ety, chiefly those by the late George Tolman. For facts concerning Concord's literary notables I have drawn principally upon their own writings.

This comprises sixteen chapters with 547 pages. It begins with the original occupation of the Merrimack valley, the grant of Penacook plantation, the transition to Mr. Amos the township of Rumford, and the organization of Concord, and it passes on through the Revolution, the events growing out of the Revolution, the War of 1812, the location of the capital at Concord, the general progress and the various political events preceding the adoption of the city charter in 1853, the advance of the city during the Civil War, and the events following the war, and it specially gives, attention to the closing decades from 1880 to 1900.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Concord Minute Men: Read Before the Concord Antiquarian Society, March 4, 1901 Dr. Clark was at that time just beginning his collection of American portraits, prints, autographs, etc., especially of those connected with the period of the Revolution, - or rather, he was just beginning to be known as a collector, for, 'as he told me, he had been from his boyhood addicted to picking up such things as he could find them, an easier thing to do then, and earlier, than it is now - and in the following years he got together a mass of such material, hardly equalled by any collection in the country, so large, indeed, that the catalogue com prised over numbers, and it took three days to dispose of them by auction. I think from watch ing a part of the sale that, considered merely as a money-making business, it would hardly have been possible for him to have invested in any recognized mercantile business the same money he put into this collection, in the same amounts and at the same times, and to have realized so great a profit from his investment.

She has tried to depict briefly the history of Concord from the Plantation to the present time, as presented in the writings of its own inhabitants.

Sanborn, Judge John S. Keyes, Mr. Frank Preston Stearns, Mrs. Daniel Lothrop, Mr. George Tolman, Mr. Winfred D.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds and Flowers About Concord, New Hampshire Many years ago a little girl lived in Concord, who loved everything out of doors - the air, the clouds, the hills, the running water, the birds and the flowers. She especially loved the birds, because they were alive. She wanted to know their names, but nobody could tell her. Her people did not know; her teachers did not know; she never found anybody who did know. Nothing of that sort was ever taught in the schools, and yet they were always telling how good the schools were in those days. She used sometimes to wonder if it were wicked to want to know about things that she saw out-doors, because everything of that sort was religiously kept out of the schools.
