Download or read book South Amesbury s Red Earthenware Stoneware written by Justin Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Red earthenware production in South Amesbury (Merrimacport), Massachusetts dates to the eighteenth century, supplying households in the small corner of northeastern Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and probably other spots in New England, with everyday utilitarian wares. This multi-generational family business lasted for more than 100 years, making it one of the longest standing potteries in New England. The most famous of those employed in South Amesbury was William Pecker, who operated a pottery during the circa 1791-1820 period. It is not widely known that Pecker was one of New England's earliest potters to product red earthenware and stoneware, perhaps only the second business to accomplish this feat in New England after the Parker Pottery in Charlestown, Mass. in the 1740s. This book is the first of its kind to explore South Amesbury's pottery production, the aesthetic appeal of these wares, and closely examine the stoneware manufactured by William Pecker." - Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of more than fifteen years of research. The study has been carried on, partly in libraries and town records, partly by conferences with descendants of potters and others familiar with their history, and partly by actual digging on the sites of potteries. The excavation method has proved most successful in showing what our New England potters were making at an early period now almost unrepresented by surviving specimens.

John Hale, was the author of an important work on the Salem witch hysteria. In 1775, the schooner Hannah, the first commissioned military vessel, sailed from Beverly Harbor. Privateers also sailed from here for their raids on enemy ships. In the 19th century, Beverly's Lucy Larcom wrote about life working in the cotton mills. The early 20th century attracted a wave of immigrants for the construction of the United Shoe Machinery Corporation and the development of the estates, beaches, and gardens of Beverly's Gold Coast. President Taft vacationed at present-day Lynch Park, and many visitors have come to Beverly for the North Shore Music Theatre and Le Grand David.
