Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Massachusetts Daughters of the American Revolution: December, 1891-December, 1905 The debts which we owe to the past, we must needs pay to the future. We live in the past by a knowledge of its history, and in the future by hope and anticipation. In view of these facts we will all agree as to the necessity of recording and preserving the anniversaries of our memo rable events, and setting up the milestones of our history. Senator Dolliver, in his address at the last Continental Congress, said that the D. A. R. In gathering up the frag ments of honor, and glory, and valor, and sacrifice, and pre serving with sacred vigilance the least name among those who were interested in laying the foundations of our national life, had caught the most beautiful idea that had ever entered into the history of this world. Mindful of the injunction to save the memorials of the past, that future generations might not forget, and that the history of the Massachusetts D. A. R. Might be put into tangi ble form for ready reference, early in 1905, a card was sent a; to each chapter in the state, asking for a brief history of the chapter, a condensed account of work done, and pictures of its patron saint or of any tablets or memorials placed. Most of the chapters responded to this appeal, and the result is most gratifying. All the reports have a thrill of life and show splendid progress, and we feel that each chapter in our state is a link in the chain which binds all the chapters of our country into one great harmonious whole.

Book Description
John Brewster Jr. (1766-1854) was one of the most prominent early American portrait painters. His hauntingly beautiful portraits have a directness and intensity of vision that were rarely equaled, as the images in this book attest. Brewster's portraits have sold astonishingly well at auction, and his work is featured in the collections of prestigious museums, yet curiously little has been written about the life of this deaf artist. Traveling the New England coast to paint the portraits of the merchant class that arose after the Revolution, he lived precisely when a Deaf-World-with its own language, social institutions, and culture-was forming. Harlan Lane, award-winning historian of the Deaf, argues that deaf people are often visually gifted, and that Brewster, as a deaf artist, is part of a long and continuing distinguished tradition. Lane's unprecedented biography both vividly and comprehensively explores Brewster's worlds: he was a seventh-generation descendant of William Brewster, who led the Pilgrims on the Mayflower voyage; he was a member of the Federalist elite; a Deaf man; and, finally, an artist. In 1817, at the age of fifty-one, Brewster attended the first school for the Deaf in America, the Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf & Dumb Persons. It's extraordinary to imagine that this was the first time he experienced fluent conversation and real social and intellectual exchange. Yet, as Lane notes, Brewster's ambivalence about this minority reflects the difficult choices confronting many Deaf people, then and now. Including little-known information on the French roots of the American Deaf-World; the Deaf communities of Martha's Vineyard, Maine, and New Hampshire in the nineteenth century; and on contemporary Deaf art, A Deaf Artist in Early America provides a multifaceted glimpse of Brewster, New England history, and the distinctive culture, language, and social institutions of the Deaf in America.
