Book excerpt: Excerpt from Who's Who Along the North Shore of Massachusetts Bay The North Shore has continued to add to its many attractions. It has opened up many miles of woods roads that must be seen to be appreciated. It is impossible to describe the joy one feels in strolling through these Shady lanes which wind in and out among the hills, through the vales and across little rustic bridges which span tiny streams gliding between mossy banks and grassy hummocks away to the sea. The North Shore has an unrivalled position as a summer resort. It not only has the bold, rugged Shore front that is lashed by the billows of the Atlantic but it possesses a wealth of verdure of evergreen and deciduous trees which cover every hill as far as the eye can reach and extend to the very waters edge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North Shore of Massachusetts Bay Stranger, if thou hast learned a truth which needs No school of long experience, that this world Is full of guilt and misery, and hast seen Enough of all its sorrows, crimes, and cares, To tire thee of it, enter this wild wood - And view the haunts of nature. The calm shade Shall bring a kindred calm, and the sweet breeze That makes the green leaves dance, shall waft a balm To thy sick heart. Bryant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Branch of the Booth Family: Showing the Lines of Connection With One Hundred Massachusetts Bay Colonists This volume has grown out of what was at first simply an endeavor to discover, if possible, a satisfactory propositus in support of an intended ap plication for admission to the Society of Colonial Wars; prior to that time the writer had never taken the slightest interest in genealogical research, and in fact, knew nothing whatever of its literature. Nearly fifty years ago the writer's father and grandfather collected some material relating to their own descent from Robert Booth of Saco, Me., which was published in a small pamphlet by a western cousin who was an amateur printer. It must be that a taste for this work had been inherited unsuspected, and that it had Iain dormant, only needing a favorable Opportunity for development. But be that as it may, what was intended as a single visit to the Lenox library in September of 1902 was soon followed by another and another, and in the course of a few days an interest had been awakened in the early history of New England, the lives of its. Pioneer settlers, their manners and customs, and the religious, social, political and commercial changes that have taken place there that will be of lifelong influence. In the course of time such a mass of manuscript accumulated that it became desirable to print it, and a small edition has been published in the hope that the information to be found therein will be of interest to others who are also descendants of some of the families mentioned. Plan and Scope. In the half dozen large historical collections in New York City there are several thousand genealogies, nearly all of which begin with some one emigrant ancestor, and trace his descendants of that surname down to the present day as fully as the compiler was able to do. Among these volumes are a few - only a small fraction of one per cent. Where the compiler has pursued a different plan, and beginning with his own father and mother has endeavored to trace back and ascertain, as far as may be, the different emigrants of whom he can say that their blood flows in his veins.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prisoners of Fortune: A Tale of the Massachusetts Bay Colony On this day, the roth of August in the year of grace 1757, it being my sixtieth birthday and a hot and sticky one and the flies bothering me so that there was no comfort in dozing in my chair, after my light noon meal of pork and beans and cheese and meat pie, with a mug of cider and a pipe thereafter, I sat up of a sudden, to slap and to light my pipe over again; and thereupon formed, on the spur of the moment, an extraordinary resolution. Now I am fond of cogitating over the curious relation that events of importance in our lives bear to small and even silly ones, and how the lesser may be progenitor of the greater; and so I have often wondered since how much the biting of the flies had to do with the formation of this resolution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dane Walraven: A Tale of Old Boston On the morning of October 29, 1829, the waters of Boston Harbor were of a milk-white hue; on the same night they were of the hue of blood. With the dawn of that disastrous day one of the most terrific storms that ever swept the coast of New England had come rolling down from the north to hold high carnival in Massachusetts Bay. From Charles River Bridge, on the north of the city, to the south end as far as India Wharf, the white waves surged and thundered all day, in unison with the diapason of infernal Winds, whose shrieks com mingled with those of the sea-gull passing out of the track of the tempest.

The town of Gloucester comprised originally the entire penin sula of Cape Ann, but in 1840 the section on its eastern extrem ity known as Sandy Bay, with a population Of nearly twenty seven hundred souls, was set off by an act of the Legislature under the name of Rockport, and became a separate town.

Download or read book Daniel Gookin written by Frederick William Gookin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daniel Gookin: 1612-1687; Assistant and Major General of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; His Life and Letters and Some Account of His Ancestry Hat no extended biography of Daniel Gookin has heretofore been published is without doubt attributable to the paucity of the available mate rial. About 1840 Mr. John Wingate Thornton began to gather information about his distin guished ancestor, and in 1847 the facts he had been able to get together were embodied in an article upon The Gookin Family, printed that year in the first volume of The New England Historical and Genealogi cal Register. For more than thirty years Mr. Thornton was an eager gleaner of every item he could discover concerning the grand old American patriarch and sage. Though, to his deep regret, he was unable to carry out his design of writing a life of Daniel Gookin, by his early researches he laid a foun dation for which I am greatly indebted. It is now thirty-six years since Mr. Thornton resigned his cherished task to my hands and I began the collection of data for the present work. In the scant leisure of a busy life this has been necessarily a slow process; and it is only within recent years that a considerable part of the information I sought has come to light. The more important facts of Gen eral Gookin's career are well known, but it has proved a difficult matter to supplement them with the mass of lesser items without which a well-rounded portrait could not be presented. Such a portrait I have endeavoured to prepare, but I am deeply sensible of many deficiencies. I have used the utmost care to secure accuracy of detail, and I can only hope that mistakes are few. Such as it is, the book is offered as a tribute to the memory of Daniel Gookin on the three-hun dredth anniversary of his birth. It forms a part of an extended history of the Gookin family, other portions of which I hope to print at some future time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Young Sir Henry Vane: Governor of Massachusetts Bay, and Leader of the Long Parliament, With a Consideration of the English Commonwealth as a Forecast of America IT fell to the present writer, a few years since, to prepare a life Of Samuel Adams (american States men series, Houghton, Mifflin and Company), who, according to his kinsman john Adams, was the wedge that Split apart America from the land of our fathers. It falls to the writer now to prepare a life Of young Sir Henry Vane, of whom it has been said that his name is the most appropriate link to bind us to the land Of our fathers. To treat each of these great historic figures has been for the writer a grateful task. There are few in America, perhaps at the present time there are few in England, who think it not well that England and America were severed. As to the usefulness of the work in which Samuel Adams was a main agent, doubt is not Often enter tained. But how as to the coming together again Of the english-speaking race into some kind Of a bond, moral if not political? Are there many who think it either feasible or desirable?

Download or read book Colonial Massachusetts Classic Reprint written by Mary Schuyler Phillips and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Massachusetts For seven years, from the age of 14 to 21, I sailed in and out of Boston Harbor and gazed with awe and admiration upon Bunker Hill monument, as I saw it rise above the waters of Massachusetts Bay or sink beneath the horizon, as our little fishing vessel sailed to and fro on the very waters over which the Mayflower came. For eleven years, as Superintendent of Schools, I lived almost within the shadow of that monument. Faneuil Hall; the old State House; the old South Church; North Church; the Charlestown Shore; Concord and Lexington; the rude bridge that spanned the flood; Salem; Provincetown Harbor; Plymouth Rock; State Street; Dorchester Heights; Battery Wharf these all became a part of my life through personal associa tions, While I lived over in imagination the scenes and events that gave them their place in American History. Bradford, Alden, Standish; Hancock, Franklin, Adams; Otis, Paul Revere, General Warren - these seemed like living men. I knew them. That the pupils might gain something of the patriotic impulse that comes through personal association with historic scenes and events, I outlined a series of historic excursions, or field days, to be taken by all seventh and eighth grade pupils, as part of their grammar school course. This was for pupils living in the vicinity of Boston. Such a meansof teaching is not available for the children of Ohio. To help meet that need, however, to some extent, the present monograph - the third in the series of Colonial Studies has been provided by the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Ohio, and is offered to the school children with the h0pe that through its reading they may obtain a clearer idea about the colony of the Pilgrims and Puritans, and may come to have a deeper appreciation of the suffering they endured and the sacrifice they made; and most of all that through these clearer ideas and deeper appreciation the children of today may become more devoted to America and more willing to live for and, if need be, die for - the things for which America stands.
