Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Danvers, From Its Early Settlement to the Year 1848 The Necessity of a Town History has been experienced for many years by most of the citizens of Danvers. It could have been wished that some one qualified for the task, had undertaken it before the decease of several, who carried much valuable information to the grave with them. Much that might have been preserved for Posterity has been suffered to sink into Oblivion. The compiler has sought every known source for information, has spent about a year and a half in researches, during which time he has travelled about 600 miles on foot, to different parts of Danvers and Salem, besides several other journeys, - examined twenty-thousand pages of manuscript, - perused several historical works, and made many pilgrimages to antiquated sires and matrons, and to moss grown grave-yards, where he has exercised the vocation of Old Mortality, and sought information from those tablets which the remorseless tooth of tune had nearly obscured. He believes that the appearances of imperfection in this work could not well he avoided, and that nearly all is here recorded which time has spared. lie confesses himself much indebted to Hon. Daniel P. King, John W. Proctor, Esq., Fitch Poole, Matthew Hooper, Charles M. Endicott, Matthew Stickney, and to the gentlemanly officers of the State Department, the Town Clerk, Salem City Clerk, Clerk of the Courts, Judge of Probate, the different Parish Clerks, Clergymen in Danvers, &c.

Excerpt: ... % 5 along the road, he came across a fellow named Goudy, who h;id the reputation of having a dyspeptic brain. He was cutting barberry bushes. "Goudy," said the Dr. "for what purpose do you suppose barberry bushes were made?" "I dun know for sartain," was the reply, "but I raylher guess to whip ministers with, and make them stick to their texts .'" This Goudy was one day away from home, and a severe thunder-storm commencing, he turned to go, saying: "I must go home; my wife is bashful when it thunders!" CHAPTER IV. The spirit of freedom that actuated the revolutionary sires, and spurred them onward in their efforts to snap the manacles of oppression, was exhibited in Danvers at a very early period. The people of this town seemed to scent the danger from afar, and while the mass of the colonists were unconscious of the progress of the tide which was slowly rolling in over their rights and privileges, they beheld it, and prophesying its further advance, sounded the tocsin of alarm. The celebrated Stamp Act passed in the year 1765, and became the law of the colonies. Dr. Franklin, then in London, wrote a letter to Charles Thompson, the night after the passage of the act, in which he said among other things: "The Sun of Liberty is set; the Americans must light the lamps of industry and economy." To which Mr. Thompson sagaciously roplied: "Be assured we shall light torches quite of another sort!" Kindred to this spirit, was that of the people of this town, who, on the twenty-ninth of October, instructed Thomas Porter, their representative, as follows: "Sir. We the Freeholders and other Inhabitants of the town of Danvers, in Town meeting assembled, the Twenty first of October, A. D. 1765-- "Professing the Greatest Loyalty to our Most Gracious...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
