Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medford in the Revolution: Military History of Medford, Massachusetts, 1765-1783; Also List of Soldiers and Civil Officers, With Genealogical and Biographical Notes The people of Medford met in town meeting on December 7, I 773, and heard the letter from the Committee of Correspondence concerning the three tea ships in Boston harbor. A commit tee was appointed to draw up resolutions and to report at an adjourned meeting, December 16. While they were adopting the report, the exciting town meeting was being held in the Old South meeting house, Boston, and when Medford's letter was forwarded, the tea was oating in the bay. Among the Sons of Liberty who took part in the Tea Party was John Fulton of Medford. He was one of the party who disguised themselves at the house of his brother-in-law, Nathaniel Bradlee, corner of Tremont and Hollis Streets. The men were assisted by Mrs. Nathaniel Bradlee and Mrs. Fulton in assuming their disguise and in removing the stains of the evening's work. The men were saved from capture by the authorities by the coolness of the women. The tea troubles were not settled by making a tea pot of Boston harbor. In the latter part of I774 it began to be whispered that some of the good people of Medford were using the forbidden beverage. A committee was appointed to enquire if any person or persons Sells or consumes any East India teas in their families and if any such found in this Town that they cause their names to be posted up in some publick place. Then the voters, not wishing to bind their neighbors to what they would not abide by, Voted that we will not use any East India Teas in our Families till the Acts be Repealed. In June, 1774, the Boston Port Bill became a law, and all business in Boston and vicinity was at a stand still. It put an end to the lightering business, which was Medford's chief source of revenue. Farmers from the east and north brought their products to Medford, which with bricks, leather and rum manufactured in the town, were transported down the Mystic river by boats or lighters. November I4, 1774, suffering but in exible, the town voted, This Town does not approve of any bricks being carried to Boston till the committees of the neighboring towns shall consent to it.

Download or read book Medford written by Dee Morris and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11-02 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its early days in the possession of a man who never set foot on the land itself, Medford has been a place of possibility. Many Medford residents have made their mark on American culture, including James W. Tufts, the inventor of the soda fountain, and Fannie Farmer, author of the first modern cookbook. Medford has been the site of revolutionary changes, as entrepreneur Thatcher Magoun built the wildly successful clipper ship industry, and in the case of Belinda Royall, a slave who remarkably won her legal emancipation in 1773. Author Dee Morris renders a richly detailed history, from the Medford Square rum distilleries that sent a molasses smell wafting through town for centuries to the celebration for Amelia Earhart, who lived in West Medford briefly, before her first successful transatlantic flight. Medford: A Brief History reveals hidden stories behind a small town with a big legacy.

Download or read book Samuel Adams and the Vagabond Henry Tufts written by Nathaniel Parry and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-05-17 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One a revolutionary leader and the other a vagabond who deserted from the Continental Army, Samuel Adams and Henry Tufts appear opposites, yet they were two sides of the same coin. While one devoted his life to overthrowing British colonial rule and the other to rambling, womanizing and stealing horses, Adams and Tufts represented the self-interested capacity for survival as well as the lofty ideals that made the American Revolution possible. When they crossed paths in 1794, with Adams serving as governor of Massachusetts and Tufts a hapless prisoner facing the gallows, it was the serendipitous climax of three decades of revolutionary activity and crime. Recalling the sometimes complementary roles of virtue and vice in the early republic, the story of these two men reflects themes of the American Revolution, including class differences among colonists, the importance of education in fostering republicanism, and the founders' emphasis on improving criminal justice. It is also a story of redemption--both for these two imperfect individuals and for the revolution that they participated in.
