Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Collection of Relics in Memorial Hall, Deerfield, Mass;, U. S. A Several years ago the congested condition of our Collection forced an expansion. The rearrangement of our material ren dered the old catalogue more a hindrance than a help to visitors. A new edition became an imperative necessity.

Download or read book Old Aggie Classic Reprint written by Frederic A. Merrill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Aggie But a short distance from the center of the town is Old Deerfield, and closer yet is that Bloody Brook where the blood of patriots once flowed as copiously as the spring freshets. Hadley, with its wealth of historic story, lies nestled away among the lower hills, and to the south is the rugged Notch and the Devil's Garden of disappearing stones. Two railroads center in the town of Amherst and easy access is had to the surrounding places of interest by means of an electric road. The country drives are enchanting in their sylvan scenery and the meadows teem with the richest of flowers. The College itself is situated about a mile from the town and is quickly reached by the electric cars that run to the north. The grounds are high and command a most beau tiful view across the green valley toward Mount Warner whose peach - clad sides glisten in the noon-day sun. During September, when college life begins, the little town takes on an unwonted business-like appearance and all is bustle and hurry. At the little yellow station of the Bos ton Maine railroad piles of trunks are being hurriedly transported to their several destinations, streams of young men are surging toward the electric cars, bent upon reach ing their dormitories as quickly as possible, and hacks are rushing about in indescribable confusion. The casual visitor is breathlessly pushed and thrust into a car in which hardly a seat is obtainable. The chatter of renewed acquaintance is interminable as the car pushes its way up the steep hill and so on into the town. A short stop is made before the principal business blocks and then the final journey is begun. As the car runs along north, the country becomes more open, and delightful vistas of the distant hills are obtained at each turn in the road.

Download or read book Captive Histories written by Evan Haefeli and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume draws together an unusually rich body of original sources that tell the story of the 1704 French and Indian attack on Deerfield, Massachusetts, from different vantage points. Texts range from one of the most famous early American captivity narratives, John Williams' The Redeemed Captive, to the records of French soldiers and clerics, to little-known Abenaki and Mohawk stories of the raid that emerged out of their communities' oral traditions. Evan Haefeli and Kevin Sweeney provide a general introduction, extensive annotations, and headnotes to each text. Although the oft-reprinted Redeemed Captive stands at the core of this collection, it is juxtaposed to less familiar accounts of captivity composed by other Deerfield residents: Quentin Stockwell, Daniel Belding, Joseph Petty, Joseph Kellogg, and the teen aged Stephen Williams. Presented in their original form, before clerical editors revised and embellished their content to highlight religious themes, these stories challenge long-standing assumptions about classic Puritan captivity narratives. equally noteworthy, offering a rare opportunity not only to compare captors' and captives' accounts of the same experiences, but to do so with reference to different Native oral traditions. Similarly, the memoirs of French military officers and an excerpt from the Jesuit Relations illuminate the motivations behind the attack and offer fresh insights into the complexities of French-Indian alliances. Taken together, the stories collected in this volume, framed by the editors' introduction and the assessments of two Native scholars, Taiaiake Alfred and Marge Bruchac, allow readers to reconstruct the history of the Deerfield raid from multiple points of view and, in so doing, to explore the interplay of culture and memory that shapes our understanding of the past.
