Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin and Early History of the First Parish, Sharon, Massachusetts: A Sermon, Preached on the Occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the Formation of the Church, July 6, 1890 The history of a parish or church is, to a large extent, the history of the men and women of whom it is composed, for their individuality enters into it as the largest element in determining its character, and in shaping the events in its existence. It cannot rise above their level of conduct and aspiration, nor can its real life be other than that which grows out of the genuine beliefs of its members. The country church may offer little that is of special interest to the consideration of the historian; but out of it the true life of the community is being shaped to no small extent. In its own way it does as true a work, and a work quite as important, as that which is accomplished by the city church amid more conspicuous surroundings. It may be said of it, however, that it comes closer to the heart of the people, is more to them in the shaping of their characters, than the city church ever can be, large or popular as it may be or widely famed. Whoever would know the real history of New England, and that which is most characteristic in the lives of its people, must turn to the parishes nestled all over the country, and study the minute details of their old and musty records. Nothing wonderful will he find; but he will come upon that which has made the people of New England what they are, as he can nd it nowhere else. He will find independence of thought, high moral purpose, integrity of character, sturdy love of liberty, and a manly refusal to submit to the dictation of priest or king.

Book excerpt: In Masquerade, Alfred F. Young scrapes through layers of fiction and myth to uncover the story of Deborah Sampson, a Massachusetts woman who passed as a man and fought as a soldier for seventeen months toward the end of the American Revolution. Deborah Sampson was not the only woman to pose as a male and fight in the war, but she was certainly one of the most successful and celebrated. She managed to fight in combat and earn the respect of her officers and peers, and in later years she toured the country lecturing about her experiences and was partially successful in obtaining veterans’ benefits. Her full story, however, was buried underneath exaggeration and myth (some of which she may have created herself), becoming another sort of masquerade. Young takes the reader with him through his painstaking efforts to reveal the real Deborah Sampson in a work of history that is as spellbinding as the best detective fiction.
