Book Description
Just hours after the shot heard round the world marked the start of the American Revolution, the news from Lexington set alarm bells ringing in Framingham. Minutemen from the town rushed along the road to Concord to help cut off the retreat of British troops. In Salem, where dozens of women were accused of witchcraft, Framinghams founder, Thomas Danforth, helped to end the hysteria and afterward provided sanctuary in Framingham for the families of the wrongfully accused. Staring down the barrels of British guns in Boston, Framingham native Crispus Attucks was one of the first to die for American independence. Though rarely in the foreground of history, Framingham pops up again and again as a backdrop to our nations great historic episodes. With tales of pirate gold, hypnotized evangelists, blundering spies and bravery in battle, this captivating collection of historical episodes sets Framingham squarely in the spotlight.

Book Description
MetroWest is known for its rolling farmland, winding rivers and quaint white churches facing green town commons. But looks can be deceiving. Tales from these small towns captured headlines and shocked readers across the state with lurid details of betrayal, cruelty, greed and murder. Nina Danforth, spurred on by love and jealousy, made a midnight call to the home of Andrew Emery in Framingham seeking revenge. The murder of spinster Mabel Page in Weston sent a man to the electric chair, and forty years before Lizzie Borden, the grisly axe murder of a husband and wife sent shock waves through the terrified town of Natick. Authors James L. Parr and Kevin A. Swope reveal the stories behind these crimes and the motives of the desperate criminals who perpetrated them.

Book Description
Framingham State College was founded as the first public institution for the education of teachers in the United States. Started in large part with the support of the legendary Horace Mann, it opened on July 3, 1839, in Lexington, Massachusetts. Due to its popularity, it was compelled on two occasions to move to larger quarters. In 1844, it relocated to West Newton and, in 1853, to its current location on Bare Hill in Framingham, Massachusetts. Framingham State College chronicles the history of the institution from when it first started in 1839 with three students. Buildings are seen as they originally looked and as they look today. Animating these views are stories of how the buildings were named and of the students who lived and learned in them. In addition, the teachers and administrators who walked and taught on these grounds are highlighted in rich detail.

Book Description
In 1957-1960 a diet assessment was undertaken for a sample of the Framingham Study cohort on their fifth biennial examination. The method used was a modification of the dietary interview developed by B.S. Burke and was directed to evaluating the "usual" long-term intake of each person interviewed. A sample of 1049 persons was drawn according to an elaborate sampling scheme. A 25 percent random sample was drawn from a listing of the original sample respondents. This sample was then modified as follows: (a) one half of the women sampled were removed; (b) all persons who were known dead were removed (25 men, 7 women); (c) all persons who had missed the last two consecutive examinations were removed (50 men, 25 women); (d) all persons with the diagnosis of heart disease or definite hypertension were removed (Table 1). (Persons who were diagnosed as having these conditions subsequent to the sampling but prior to the interview were, however, retained). The diagnoses comprised any form of definite heart disease, including myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, and rheumatic heart disease. A total of 173 persons, 124 men and 49 women, were removed for these reasons. However, these were the only medical exclusions and others persons with known disease, some of them involving dietary therapy, are included in the dietary sample.
