Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Founding of Charlestown, by the Spragues: A Glimpse of the Beginning of the Massachusetts Bay Settlement It is substantially undisputed that Charlestown. the first permanent settlement in Massachusetts Bay, was founded by the three brothers, Ralph, Richard and William Sprague, and that they, accompanied by three or four others, whose names have never been ascertained with certainty, were the first permanent settlers of the plantation. Considerable question has, however, arisen, more especially in the later years, relative to the time of their arrival in New England, and, consequently, a question as to the actual date of the founding of Charlestown, whether in the year 1628 or 1629. The latter date has oftener been given by later writers, though in the early period the date was almost universally fixed as 1628, and the Spragues were declared to have arrived with Gov. John Endicott in that year in the ship Abigail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of Charlestown, in the County of Middlesex, and Commonwealth of Massachusetts: Read to an Assembly of Citizens at the Opening of Washington Hall, Nov; 16, 1813 There are periods in society, as well as in the life of an individual, when it is peculiarly proper, by a review of past occurrences, to trace the progress of improvement, and excite such feelings, as may lead to future usefulness. On this occasion, when we are convened in such auspicious circumstances, and may rationally estimate the advantages of a laudable exertion for ourselves and our posterity, I deem it appropriate to attempt a general sketch of our municipal history, and offer such observations as comport with the design of our present meeting. Among the intrepid advocates of civil and religious freedom, who encountered the dangers of the ocean, and the greater danger of the wilderness, were nine or ten persons, who, in the summer of 1628, travelled by land from Naumkeak, now called Salem, and, under the authority of governour Endicot, constituted this placet an English settlement. They here found an "English thatched house pallisadoed," and occupied by Thomas Walford, a smith by trade, of whom no particular account is preserved.

Download or read book Bibliography of Charlestown Massachusetts and Bunker Hill Classic Reprint written by James Frothingham Hunnewell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliography of Charlestown, Massachusetts and Bunker Hill The following pages show results of an effort made by the writer to ascertain the nature of what might be called the literature of his native town, - how the thoughts or affairs of those who have been born or resident in it have found an expression on printed pages. These results have been a surprise, a pleasure, and a satisfaction to him, and he trusts that they will be to others, - a surprise from the number and often the rarity of the works, which it is a pleasure to enumerate; and a satisfaction, joined with this pleasure, that their almost unexceptional characteristic is that of religious faithfulness, of patriotism, of help to charity, to education, or to good citizenship, and that there is so little that the authors would wish to efface. This general estimate, after a review, seems fairly and sufficiently to annote the collection. And this material does not make a merely local story, for it touches wider than local subjects, and also shows to some extent, representatively, what an old New England town - neither obscure nor preeminent - thought, did, witnessed, or produced, and through two and a half centuries has had put on many printed pages. It is not a mere dull list of things nearly passed away and forgotten, but an interesting story of growth from small beginnings to all we now enjoy; and one that illustrates how, on wider sphere and scale, far more widely spread populations have also been growing. It becomes, indeed, to a considerable extent an outline history of the intellectual and material life of the times and of the people. It shows how through much of the Colonial period the chief expression of thought was by the ministry, and religious, with little of the amusing, but something of the imaginative, and more of the historical; how the Revolution associated much writing with a place; how in the earlier period of the nation a wider variety of thought and of addresses was developed; how, for fifty years, the fervid emotions of the Fourth of July Oration were proclaimed, as in many of the greater and minor towns; how changing theological opinions grew; how political and educational and benevolent affairs became more prominent; how the press flourished; how general business enterprise expanded; and how literature increased in scope, and often in value.

Download or read book An Oration Delivered at Charlestown Massachusetts on the 17th of June 1841 in Commemoration of the Battle of Bunker Hill Classic Reprint written by George Edward Ellis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration Delivered at Charlestown, Massachusetts, on the 17th of June, 1841, in Commemoration of the Battle of Bunker-Hill This oration was prepared and delivered at the request of the Officers and Members of the warren phalanx, who celebrated this interesting anniversary in an appropriate manner, in conjunction with the citizens of Charlestown, whose participation they invited. In compliance with their wish, kindly and politely expressed, these pages are now published. Large portions, here printed, were necessarily omitted in the delivery. The author aimed to present a fair and minute account of the memorable action in this town which opened the American Revolution. He could find no nearer beginning for the details of the day, than in a statement of the preliminary measures of British aggression and Colonial resistance, and the appropriate conclusion of the narrative seemed to require an exhibition of some of the results of the bloody conflict. We are probably now in possession of all that ever will be known concerning it. One who searches deeply into its history, is led to ask some questions to which no living voice or written record can give an answer. The author has availed him self of all the known existing means for affording information and ensuring accuracy. The History of the Battle, by Col. Samuel Swett, is the most valuable of all the documents which relate to it. For a few particulars mentioned in the following pages, which are not derived from any public documents, it is to be understood that the author is indebted to some pri vate sources of information.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genealogy of the Stimpson Family of Charlestown, Mass;, And Allied Lines Those bearing the family name were so few In number, that there have been added to the first four generations, many of the descend ants of the female lines. In the compilation of this family the fact appears that for these first four generations, although the daughters were numerous, only one male member married and had children. From J ohn' Stimson, born 1728, all the descendants, both male and female, with a very few exceptions, are given to the present time. The genealogical annotation is after the Register plan. When the name of the State in which a town is situated is not given, it is understood to be Massachusetts, except in the case where a town, in some other State. Is mentioned more than once in a paragraph, and then the 'state is not repeated. Double dating, that is, old and new style of reckoning time during January, February and March, prior to 1752, is clearly noted and will be readily understood.
