Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Bedford Fifty Years Ago Simple Jimmie Dyer, the wood-sawyer, of whom a housekeeper told this story. She had employed him for the day, and after giving him his dinner, she was obliged to go out, so left his supper for him. He ate it immediately on her departure, and went home, declaring he never vet had worked after supper. Adelaide Goodale was another curious char acter, who sometimes wore a hat and a bonnet at the same time, the former perched on top. She had the most nasal of twangs, and kept a thread and needle store and a few sweeties on Third street. One winter the doctor advised her to take cod liver oil, but she told him that she fried her cakes in candle grease and stood over the smoke, and guessed that was just as good and a deal cheaper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whalers and Whaling Down at the wharves of New Bedford, Massachusetts, there is a collection of the queerest looking Old ships, which instantly attract your notice. SO quaint, and so entirely unlike any craft one sees afloat nowadays, that you know in a minute they must be the Old Whalers that used to make such perilous voyages, and have such thrilling adventures fifty years ago. There they lie, - these old heroes, - huddled together in a group, as though to keep each other company and talk over the days of their youth, when they were the pride and glory of New Bedford.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Congregational Society in New Bedford, Massachusetts: Its History, as Illustrative of Ecclesiastical Evolution The germ of this thick pamphlet was a purpose to write a single dis course, of not unusual length, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the building of the present church of the First Congregational (uni tarian) Society in New Bedford. But dates, facts, and figures pertain ing to the building of a meeting-house had for me little interest in themselves. Their only interest lay in what the meeting-house stood for when buiBefore committing anything to paper, I was satisfied that I had dis covered the right historical clue to the conditions of religious develop ment in the old township of Dartmouth; but at the time the Discourses were delivered, many details of the evidence had to be left for further investigation, and some of the statements could then only be made con jecturally. That more complete research having since been made, I have been gratified to learn that all the conclusions previously arrived at, partly by inference, have been abundantly sustained by the collective facts. The new facts have necessitated some revision and additions in the first Discourse. Much new matter has been gathered concerning the first minister, Samuel Hunt; and it has also been ascertained that there was Congregational preaching in the town, by James Gardner, before Mr. Hunt's settlement.

Book excerpt: It's the 1920s-the First World War is over, and the people of New Bedford, Massachusetts, like the rest of the country, enjoy high spirits and great prosperity. Familiar faces, young and old, look to a promising future in this great industrial city with a glorified maritime past. But trouble looms, and the next decades will require strength and determination. A troubled textile industry, the Great Depression, a challenged school system, hurricanes, wartime and a post-war economic decline-how will the city survive the tides of change? Resilient residents will take strength and encouragement from friends and community, finding laughter and escape through music, theater, radio, sports and other forms of entertainment. Everyday heroes will emerge. The city will reinvent itself and forge on. Fast forward to the 1960s. Following another post-war boom, new industries come to town, the hurricane barrier goes up and the fishing fleet brings promise and growth. But urban renewal tears at the heart of downtown and wipes out many old neighborhoods. The Vietnam War and the city's race riots bring turmoil and upheaval. Still, a new generation again brings hope and change. In A Picture History of New Bedford, Volume Two: 1925-1980, the second installment of a three-volume set, hundreds of photographs and stories bring the city to life in an enthralling journey through the core of the 20th century. Ride the last trolley, sip an ice cream float at a bygone soda fountain, take a turn on the ballroom dance floor. Celebrate New Bedford's music-from the big band sounds to folk, fado, jazz and rock and roll. Explore the evolution of the city's diverse mix of cultures and see New Bedford's fishing industry grow from a small fledgling fleet of draggers to what today is the country's number one fishing port. Experience the people, places, and events that have shaped New Bedford, one of New England's most historically significant cities.
