This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collections of the Worcester Society of Antiquity, Vol. 2 Worcester was first settled in the year 1674, and was then known as Quinsigamond. At this time six or seven buildings were erect cd but the breaking out of King Philip's war the succeeding year caused them to be abandoned and they were destroyed by the enemy. In 1684 the place was incorporated under the name of Worcester, and a settlement made which progressed for a number of years. The history preserved of this second settlement is very mger and unsatisfactory it failed however, from the same causes that affected the former attempt. In 1702, hostilities with the In dians having been renewed, the settlers in their isolated situation, faring a general massacre, deserted their homes and the fruits of their labor, and the town once more fell into decay.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Worcester, and Its People, Vol. 1 Splendidly equipped in the local historical and gene alogical fields, Mr. Nutt methodized his work with wisest judgment, and prosecuted it with remarkable enthusiasm and industry. The results are presented in the following pages, which from first to last are his own work, with the slight exception of a very few of the biographical sketches. The illustrations were also of his providing, and he had seen much of the matter in page form before Death so unexpectedly called him away. The publishers had maintained business relations with Mr. Nutt for many years, and their regret in parting with him is most sincere. To their editor, his passing away comes as a personal loss, through their long association, which, beginning in a business way, deepened into a feeling of personal attachment. The gifted author, - skilled as antiquarian, genealogist and historian, - in this work has left his final tribute to the people of the famous city in Which he took a wholesome pride, and to whose traditions, history and destiny he was intensely loyal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Worcester, Massachusetts It is true that local self-government, in a modified form, had been known both in Germany and England before the earliest colonization of America. But long before that colonization commenced the Crown had, by repeated encroachments, deprived the people of their ancient right of self-control, and that right or power had been vested in municipal councils or other local boards, and which were self-perpetuating bodies.3 But when removed from the presence of that domi nating power of the few over the many, the colonists at once returned to what has been called the natural order of society in the establishment of government.

This town, situated in the north-easterly part of the county of Worcester, forty miles by carriage-road and forty-six miles by the Fitchburg Railroad, and fifty-three miles by the Old Colony Railroad, from Boston, and twenty miles from Worcester, was formerly - a large share of it - a part of Lancaster; being substantially the northerly half of what was called the "Lancaster New" or "Additional Grant," a tract of land conveyed by George Tahanto, Sagamore of the Nashua tribe of Indians, to Insigne John Moore, John Houghton, and Nathaniel Wilder, dated June 13, 1701, and recorded in the Proprietors' Records, now deposited with the records of the town of Leominster, and confirmed to the town of Lancaster by an order of the General Court, passed Nov. 21 and 22, 1711. To this was afterwards added, by chapter 106 Acts of 1838, a part of the unincorporated laud lying westerly of the first tract, called "No Town." The first tract contained 16,602 acres, or thirty-eight acres less than twenty-six square miles, according to a survey made by Jonas Kendall, Charles Grout, Levi Nichols, David Wilder, and Joseph G. Kendall, as a committee of the town, in the year 1830; and the second, or "No Town" tract, about 2,000 acres, or a little over three square miles, making the present area about twenty-nine square miles. This territory is mostly quite regular in shape, and is bounded northerly by Fitchburg and Lunenburg; easterly, by Lunenburg and Lancaster; southerly, by Sterling; and westerly by Princeton and Westminster.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Princeton, Worcester County, Massachusetts: Civil and Ecclesiastical; From Its First Settlement in 1739, to April 1852 The volume we have thus drawn up, makes no pretensions to attractiveness, otherwise than the nature of the subject, and the facts exhibited, may be attractive. Many things worthy to be perpetuated, have, no doubt, for the want of information, been omitted accuracy, however, has been the constant aim of the author. Materials have been collected from sources as various as can be readily imagined by individ uals who have not attempted a similar work, -the most of which it will not be thought necessary to specify particularly. The Town Books, Church and Society Records, and various Publi cations, were of course, carefully examined. Many of the facts here presented, were obtained from a History of Princeton, written some years since by Charles Theodore Russell, Esq., to whom we would here publicly acknowledge our indebtedness. We are also particularly indebted to several of the aged peo ple whom we have consulted. That this, our effort has many imperfections, and some slight inaccuracies, is extremely probable; yet we dismiss it, to those for whom it was compiled, with the hope that it may prove to be interesting and profitable to them.
