Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings at the Centennial Celebration of the Incorporation of the Town of Longmeadow, October 17th, 1883: With Numerous Historical Appendices and Historical Appendices and a Town Genealogy By a vote of the town of Longmeadow, passed at its annual meeting in the Spring of 1883, the maximum sum allowed by the Statutes of Massachusetts - one-tenth of one per cent. of the grand list - was appropriated for celebrating the first Centennial Anniversary of the town's incorporation, and for publishing the proceedings of the occasion. The Celebration took place upon the 17th of October - the exact date of the signing of the Act of town Incorporation in 1783. At a meeting of the Centennial Committee on the 3d of November following, - the report of the sub-committee of preparation showing a small unexpended balance from the appropriation, - it was voted "that an edition of the proceedings properly bound and illustrated, and sufficient in number to supply one copy to each family in town and to each invited speaker, be prepared by the Secretary of the Committee, Mr. Storrs, acting with the Chairman, Mr. Harding, and the Town Treasurer, Mr. Wolcott, as a Committee of Publication, at a total expense not exceeding the unexpended appropriation." It was further voted "that in the inability of the Committee - or even of the Town itself - to legally do more than this, by reason of the statute limitation already referred to, - the offer of the Secretary to himself publish a second edition to meet any outside demand be gratefully accepted; and that he be authorized to make use, for this purpose, of the preparation made for the Towns edition; incorporating with it such other material and illustrations as he may desire to add at his own expense." It is in accordance with these votes that the originally proposed pamphlet of a hundred pages has been enlarged by the Secretary to the present volume of more than four hundred. The record of the Day's Proceedings will be found unusually complete. The Historical Address is given substantially as delivered; since any attempt to recast it in a more consecutive and complete form would necessarily be at the expense of the characteristics which adapted it for oral delivery. The numerous historical details, by which it might otherwise have been enriched and fortified, have been, by the associated compilers, the Chairman and Secretary of the General Committee, collected and classified in a copious Appendix. In this compilation, documentary history has been largely preferred to narrative; as only an Appendix, and not at all a complete History has been here attempted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The best single-volume history of the Revolution I have read.” —Howard Zinn Upon its initial publication, Ray Raphael’s magisterial A People’s History of the American Revolution was hailed by NPR’s Fresh Air as “relentlessly aggressive and unsentimental.” With impeccable skill, Raphael presented a wide array of fascinating scholarship within a single volume, employing a bottom-up approach that has served as a revelation. A People’s History of the American Revolution draws upon diaries, personal letters, and other Revolutionary-era treasures, weaving a thrilling “you are there” narrative—“a tapestry that uses individual experiences to illustrate the larger stories”. Raphael shifts the focus away from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to the slaves they owned, the Indians they displaced, and the men and boys who did the fighting (Los Angeles Times Book Review). This “remarkable perspective on a familiar part of American history” helps us appreciate more fully the incredible diversity of the American Revolution (Kirkus Reviews). “Through letters, diaries, and other accounts, Raphael shows these individuals—white women and men of the farming and laboring classes, free and enslaved African Americans, Native Americans, loyalists, and religious pacifists—acting for or against the Revolution and enduring a war that compounded the difficulties of everyday life.” —Library Journal “A tour de force . . . Ray Raphael has probably altered the way in which future historians will see events.” —The Sunday Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1788, Eleazer Williams was raised in the Catholic Iroquois settlement of Kahnawake along the St. Lawrence River. According to some sources, he was the descendant of a Puritan minister whose daughter was taken by French and Mohawk raiders; in other tales he was the Lost Dauphin, second son to Louis XVI of France. Williams achieved regional renown as a missionary to the Oneida Indians in central New York; he was also instrumental in their removal, allying with white federal officials and the Ogden Land Company to persuade Oneidas to relocate to Wisconsin. Williams accompanied them himself, making plans to minister to the transplanted Oneidas, but he left the community and his young family for long stretches of time. A fabulist and sometime confidence man, Eleazer Williams is notoriously difficult to comprehend: his own record is complicated with stories he created for different audiences. But for author Michael Leroy Oberg, he is an icon of the self-fashioning and protean identity practiced by native peoples who lived or worked close to the centers of Anglo-American power. Professional Indian follows Eleazer Williams on this odyssey across the early American republic and through the shifting spheres of the Iroquois in an era of dispossession. Oberg describes Williams as a "professional Indian," who cultivated many political interests and personas in order to survive during a time of shrinking options for native peoples. He was not alone: as Oberg shows, many Indians became missionaries and settlers and played a vital role in westward expansion. Through the larger-than-life biography of Eleazer Williams, Professional Indian uncovers how Indians fought for place and agency in a world that was rapidly trying to erase them.
