Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dorchester Book We all remember the devout Christian who called attention to the divine foresight in providing that the greatest harbors and the largest rivers should be located near the most prominent cities. It was a lack of this foresight on the mortal side which pre vented Dorchester from being the metropolis and Boston the suburb; for Dorchester Bay proved inadequate to the commercial requirements of the early settlers, and a month after the landing a portion of the pioneers established themselves at Shawmut, as Boston was first called. Thus Dorchester, although the first settlement in what is now Suffolk County and the largest town in New England, contributed to the Shawmut settlement the nucleus from which grew the city which finally swallowed it up. In 1666 the town included all the territory of the present towns of Milton, Dedham, Dorchester Heights, Washington Village, Hyde Park, Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, Foxboro, and a part of Wrentham - a site thirty-five miles long, and running to within one hundred and sixty rods of the Rhode Island line. It is a severe portrait which the first two years of the colony present to us. The New England of two hundred and seventy years ago did not offer a kindly settlement to the brave emigrants who sought to break into its austerity. The ground had to be cleared before even the rude huts could be erected, the trees felled before a space could be found to plant the seeds necessary to prevent starvation. On the coast the settlers found nothing to break their desolation. Wet meadows and oozy creeks prevented them from going in one direction, while unfordable tide-water rivers interfered with their progress in another. Utterly ignorant of the character of the country, it is not strange that imagination added to the real terrors which surrounded them, and made them feel that safety was nowhere to be found. Added to this was the terror of rattlesnakes, with which the country swarmed, and of dangerous animals that prowled about by night. The Indians, too, whose disposition toward the white men was entirely unknown, were a source of anxiety night and day.

Download or read book Dorchester written by Anthony Mitchell Sammarco and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dorchester Volume II, local author Anthony Mitchell Sammarco continues his detailed look at this diverse town that he began in Volume I, which the Boston Globe hailed as a best-seller. Founded in 1630 by Puritans, Dorchester has experienced spectacular growth over the last few centuries; the Old Colony Railroad and later the Red Line provided impetus for the quick development of this "streetcar suburb." From a town of twelve thousand residents in 1870, when it was annexed to the city of Boston, to one hundred thousand at the turn of the century, Dorchester became home to a quarter of a million people by 1930. The development of the town in the period from 1870 to 1920 saw architects, builders, and residents all working to create a pleasant place to live and work. Dorchester's evolution from a farming community to a vibrant, buzzing town can be seen in the unique form of American architecture developed in Dorchester--the "three decker," built between the 1890s and World War II, and popular among people of all classes and economic means. The influx of immigrants from countries around the world has given Dorchester a diverse and colorful character, which is the source of pride for many of its residents.
