Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Kenneth J. Moynihan chronicles the fascinating early history of this bustling junction town and offers readers a front-row view of Worcester's dramatic, nearly forgotten past. The Nipmuc Indians destroyed the first settlement at Worcester in 1675. A second attempt was made in the 1680s, but a permanent settlement did not take root until 1713. Worcester's first citizens battled French and Indian enemies and endured a succession of political, ethnic and religious rivalries. How did the Nipmuc deal with the English threat? How did settlers cope with changes in economic and political life after the Revolution? For the first time in 170 years, a historian takes a fresh look at the history of early Worcester.

He afterwards preached at Millbury, and was solicited to resume the ministry by a new society in that place, but declined. The death of a nephew and adopted son, John W. Hubbard, Esq. and the separation of a family, where he might have expected to make a peaceful home, cheered by the kindness which soothes the heavy hours of sickness and despondency, involved him in affliction and engaged him in entangled affairs of business. Under the perplexities and beneath the oppressive burden of unaccustomed transactions, his mental energies gave way, and were, at length prostrated. Occasional aberrations of reason terminated in deep religious melancholy, and sometimes, paroxysms of hopeless despair clouded his declining days with gloom. After passing a year in the family of his brother in law, Mr. Hopkins of Northampton, he removed to that of a nephew, the Rev. Mr. Riddel of Glastenbury, Connecticut, where he...

Download or read book From Raccoon Plain to Pakachoag Hill written by David Keith Jones and published by . This book was released on 2016-04 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From pre-colonial settlement through the industrial age to modern times, Worcester, Massachusetts has played a vital role in the development of this nation. Lying in the headwaters of the historic Blackstone River, invention and industry flourished very early here. The growth of the carpet industry in South Worcester fostered by M. J. Whittall led to the growth of an English Enclave there as hundreds of immigrants found employment and financial security. This book tells the little known story of English immigrants who were pulled to America by the promise of opportunity, and found it in South Worcester. Through the prosperous times of the late 1800s and early 1900s they held on to their English heritage as they moved to the new American suburbia, experienced two world wars and the Depression, and raised American-born children. The 1940s and 1950s saw their American grandchildren, including the authors, move away and break their last connections with the carpet mill and its community.
