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: Pulitzer Prize Winner: “A meticulous and remarkably detailed account of the early government and social organization of the town of Sudbury, Massachusetts.” —Time In addition to drawing on local records from Sudbury, Massachusetts, the author of this classic work, which won the Pulitzer Prize in History, traced the town’s early families back to England to create an outstanding portrait of a colonial settlement in the seventeenth century. He looks at the various individuals who formed this new society; how institutions and government took shape; what changed—or didn’t—in the movement from the Old World to the New; and how those from different local cultures adjusted, adapted, competed, and cooperated to plant the seeds of what would become, in the century to follow, a commonwealth of the United States of America. “An important and interesting book . . . to the student of institutions, even to the sociologist, as well as to the historian.” —The New England Quarterly

He could do, and did do, nearly everything from his share of populating New England to mending a broken gun, building and running a mill and serving as a town official. Being a millwright, the proprietors gave him the waterpower on Sugar River and two acres of land for a mill yard, on condition that he build a mill and maintain it for ten years. Benjamin Tyler was born in Wallingford, Connecticut, in February, 1732, where he married Mahitabel Andrews, and later moved to Farmington, where his seven children were born. In the spring of 1767, he came to Claremont and in the summer following he built a dam on the river at West Claremont, which later became the site of the Jarvis dam. This was the first mill dam in the town. In the spring of 1768, having returned to Farmington, he started on an ox-sled over the snow and the ice on the Connecticut River, with his family and household goods for Claremont. While on the way to Claremont he was honored by his future fellow townsmen by being elected as one of the selectmen. The Tylers were snow-bound for several days at Montague, Massachusetts, and that fact demonstrated his ingenuity referred to, as he paid for the board and lodging of himself and his family at the tavern in Montague, by making a pair of cartwheels for the landlord. In the summer of 1768, Mr. Tyler built a gristmill and a sawmill on the north bank of Sugar River, and then began to grind grain for the settlers in Claremont and for many miles about, the grists being brought to his mill on the backs of the farmers. He also sawed lumber and built, or superintended the building of, many of the first framed houses and barns in the town. The house he built for himself was the largest in town at that time.
