Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Early History of the Department of Massachusetts, G. A. R: From 1866 to 1880 Inclusive At the Department Encampment of 1892, held in Boston, the following resolution, offered by Past Department Commander George W. Creasey, was adopted: - That a committee of five be appointed to compile the earlier history of the Grand Army of this Department, and that said committee be requested to report at the next Department Encampment. The committee was appointed by Department Commander Arthur A. Smith, as follows: Past Department Commanders George W. Creasey, Austin S. Cushman and John D. Billings, and Comrades William M. Olin of Post 26 and George W. Powers of Post 15. At the Encampment of 1893 the committee made a report of progress and were given full powers to proceed with the publication. The result of their labors is presented herewith. After due consideration, it was decided by the committee to print the records of the Encampments down to and including the administration of Department Commander Hawes, covering the period from the organization of the Department to the year 1881. Of these administrations, extending over fourteen years, the records of only five were in print: those of Commanders Osborn, 1869; Cogswell, l871; Sibley, 1872; Underwood, 1873, and Kimball, 1874. What appears in this history of the records of the administrations of Department Commanders Cushman and Sprague was furnished by those comrades. Of the administration of Department Commander Bates in 1870, no official record could be found by the committee. The newspapers at that time appear to have given but meager reports of the proceedings of our Encampments. Little or nothing appears in the Boston papers, and in the case of the Encampment which terminated Department Commander Bates' administration, the committee was obliged to rely solely upon extracts from the Daily Courier of Lowell, where the Encampment was held.

Book Description
A fresh, original history of America’s national narratives, told through the loss, recovery, and rise of one influential Puritan sermon from 1630 to the present day In this illuminating book, Abram Van Engen shows how the phrase “City on a Hill,” from a 1630 sermon by Massachusetts Bay governor John Winthrop, shaped the story of American exceptionalism in the twentieth century. By tracing the history of Winthrop’s speech, its changing status throughout time, and its use in modern politics, Van Engen asks us to reevaluate our national narratives. He tells the story of curators, librarians, collectors, archivists, antiquarians, and often anonymous figures who emphasized the role of the Pilgrims and Puritans in American history, paving the way for the saving and sanctifying of a single sermon. This sermon’s rags-to-riches rise reveals the way national stories take shape and shows us how those tales continue to influence competing visions of the country—the many different meanings of America that emerge from its literary past.
