Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings in Commemoration of the Organization in Pittsfield, February 7, 1764 of the First Church of Christ: February 7, 1889 The First Church of Christ in Pittsfield was organized February 7th, 1764, one hundred and twenty-five years ago to-day. Its organization ante-dates the Declaration of Independence by twelve years; the adoption of the Federal Constitution by twenty-four years. It was three years after the incorporation of the town of Pittsfield and three years after the creation of the County of Berkshire; thirty years after the organization of the church in Stockbridge, twenty-one years after that in Great Barrington, and six after that in Becket. The three named churches were present by pastors at least at the organization of this church. The settlement of Pittsfield began in 1752. After twelve years of struggle and of the ordinary frontier vicissitudes, there were in the town in the year 1764, the year in which the church was organized, between three hundred and five hundred inhabitants, most of whom lived in log houses. When Thomas Allen, the first minister came here in 1763, his son says "All the houses of the village were made of logs excepting half a dozen." The hundred or more log houses were far apart and most of them were at the western or eastern extremities of the town. To accommodate the widely separated inhabitants the first meeting house was placed in the center, not far from the site of this building. Its story and that of its successors will be told by another this afternoon. The proprietors of the settling lots in the township of Pontoosuck, held their first legally called meeting Sept. 12, 1753.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings in Commemoration of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary: Of the First Congregational Church, Williamstown, Massachusetts, October the 9th and 10th, 1915 In the year 1765, the Town of Williamstown, Massachusetts, was incorporated by act of the Governor and General Court of the Province of Massachusetts Bay, and in the same year the First Church of Christ in the town was organized. In the annual town meeting of 1914, a committee was appointed to plan, if it deemed it advisable, for a celebration of the sesquicentennial of the incorporation of the town. As no general interest in the subject was manifested, the committee reported without making recommendations to the annual meeting of 1915 and the matter was dropped. In the church there was manifested a more lively interest in the anniversary, and a proper wish to do honor to the founders of the town and church. In the annual meeting of the First Church, on January 1, 1915, on motion of Deacon Franklin Carter, it was voted: That a committee of five, all legal residents of Williamstown, be appointed by the pastor, three of whom shall be members of this church and three of whom shall be members of the parish and one of whom shall be a professor in the college, which committee shall determine the date and arrange for the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the formal organization of this church, and shall have power to appoint subordinate committees, if they may think such necessary, in order to carry into effect the plans devised for the celebration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emily Dickinson, probably the most loved and certainly the greatest of American poets, continues to be seen as the most elusive. One reason she has become a timeless icon of mystery for many readers is that her developmental phases have not been clarified. In this exhaustively researched biography, Alfred Habegger presents the first thorough account of Dickinson’s growth–a richly contextualized story of genius in the process of formation and then in the act of overwhelming production. Building on the work of former and contemporary scholars, My Wars Are Laid Away in Books brings to light a wide range of new material from legal archives, congregational records, contemporary women's writing, and previously unpublished fragments of Dickinson’s own letters. Habegger discovers the best available answers to the pressing questions about the poet: Was she lesbian? Who was the person she evidently loved? Why did she refuse to publish and why was this refusal so integral an aspect of her work? Habegger also illuminates many of the essential connection sin Dickinson’s story: between the decay of doctrinal Protestantism and the emergence of her riddling lyric vision; between her father’s political isolation after the Whig Party’s collapse and her private poetic vocation; between her frustrated quest for human intimacy and the tuning of her uniquely seductive voice. The definitive treatment of Dickinson’s life and times, and of her poetic development, My Wars Are Laid Away in Books shows how she could be both a woman of her era and a timeless creator. Although many aspects of her life and work will always elude scrutiny, her living, changing profile at least comes into focus in this meticulous and magisterial biography.
