Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pioneers of Massachusetts: A Descriptive List, Drawn From Records of the Colonies, Towns and Churches, and Other Contemporaneous Documents The Pioneers of Massachusetts deserve high honor from the people of the United States of America. They composed and signed, in the cabin of the Mayflower, Nov. 11, 1620, the grand though simple "Compact," model of all our constitutions; they organized General Courts, patterns of our legislative bodies; courts of judicature and commissions for the settlement of minor cases, - "to end small causes," - types of our municipal and justices' courts; they gathered congregational bodies of worshippers, embodiments and types of our best, fraternal, religious life; they crystalized the old Saxon town idea into systematic town meetings; they first subscribed to support schools for their children, then devised the scheme of bearing the burden by general taxation, making schools by the people, for the people. And they and their descendants went forth to settle other parts of the great land, and built the foundation of new states out of granite, quarried from Massachusetts ledges. Thus it is the "Commonwealth of Massachusetts" where the largest number of American families had their first home this side of the Atlantic; and to her records and relics come yearly the largest processions of pilgrims, seeking to obtain clues to the still earlier history of their ancestry. Love of family and desire to know and preserve the memory of worthy fore-fathers lead many inquirers into this field. The admirable organizations which keep alive the memory of the Mayflower passengers, which place fresh laurels on the graves of colonial worthies and warriors, which pay honor to the guardians of a country in the face of foreign oppression, the founders of our republican institutions - these societies have deepened the interest and greatly advanced the knowledge of our ancestors. Thus an increasing amount of examination of old records is made; and the courteous town and church clerks, recorders of deeds and wills, custodians of filed documents in court houses and the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, have abundant opportunity for the display of that remarkable affability and helpfulness which characterize the officials of our state. Numerous family histories and sketches of the founders have appeared, some of which are models of research and honesty; what a fine list that is which Munsell's Sons present in their American Genealogist! Other books are in preparation and much investigation and compilation is being done for simple, private satisfaction. But the work of historical research is an art; records, ever so accessible, need skilled readers and interpreters. Apparatus is demanded for the work; charts are needed for the chart-makers. John Farmer, M.A., having explored to the best of his ability a part of the early records, published in 1628 "A Genealogical Register of the First Settlers of New England," which had great value, and marked him as a benefactor of American students of history.

Download or read book The Pioneers written by David G. McCullough and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As part of the Treaty of Paris, in which Great Britain recognized the new United States of America, Britain ceded the land that comprised the immense Northwest Territory, a wilderness empire northwest of the Ohio River containing the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A Massachusetts minister named Manasseh Cutler was instrumental in opening this vast territory to veterans of the Revolutionary War and their families for settlement. Included in the Northwest Ordinance were three remarkable conditions: freedom of religion, free universal education, and most importantly, the prohibition of slavery. In 1788 the first band of pioneers set out from New England for the Northwest Territory under the leadership of Revolutionary War veteran General Rufus Putnam. They settled in what is now Marietta on the banks of the Ohio River. McCullough tells the story through five major characters: Cutler and Putnam; Cutler's son Ephraim; and two other men, one a carpenter turned architect, and the other a physician who became a prominent figure in American science. They and their families created a town in a primeval wilderness, while coping with such frontier realities as trees of a size never imagined, floods, fires, wolves, bears, even an earthquake, all the while negotiating a contentious and sometimes hostile relationship with the native people. Like so many of McCullough's subjects, they let no obstacle deter or defeat them. Drawn in great part from a rare and all-but-unknown collection of diaries and letters by the key figures, The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments."--Dust jacket.
