Book Description
Groton - Historical Bits and Pieces is a compilation of many of the historical articles about Groton, Connecticut written by the author and published in the Groton Times newspaper over the past five years. Various subject matters, containing little known or interesting historical facts about Groton's people, places and things, are discussed in the articles. Many are accompanied by rarely viewed photographs which are part of the author's personal collection. Unusual and interesting subjects relating to Groton, including a three part series on police corruption during the years of prohibition, the presidential desk, old businesses, hometown heroes, and many other unique stories appear in this book. Most of the articles cover the time frame between the late 1800's and the mid-1960's. Although many may not believe that the subjects are historical in nature, the author considers them to be "modern history" and in his words "one hundred years from now they will be valued as relevant history". This book will play an important role, both now and in the future, in the documentation of the history of Groton, Connecticut.

Groton School Camp, 1893 Squam Lake N.H.: A History of the First Summer Camp for Underprivileged Boys.
Author: Kenneth Edward BinghamPublisher:
ISBN: 9780578008417
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
GROTON SCHOOL CAMP, the first summer camp in the U.S. for the "underprivileged boy" of the city, was established in 1893 on Willoughby's Island in New Hampshire along the beautiful Asquam (Squam) Lake. This Camp, as well as other social programs for wayward and neglected children, became a hallmark of the Progressive Era (1890-1920). Many of our child-related laws and attitudes about the child blossomed during this period, as "reformers" articulated a new vision of what childhood could and should be. While this book includes a general history of organized camping in the U.S. and what led up to it, these pages also capture the day-to-day activities at Groton School Camp. The portal into early Camp life is supplied by fascinating photographs and the original Camp journal, written by the Camp founder, Endicott Peabody (also founder of the prestigious Groton School of Groton, Massachusetts) and his brethren. We can only appreciate how far we have come when we look back at where we started. Bingham's story takes us from a time of changing attitudes towards the "child"-in the late 1800's-to the genesis of the Camp idea-on through the Groton School Camp years-and finally to the current Mayhew Program-an organization for at-risk boys. (All profits from this BOOK go to the Mayhew Program)

Book Description
Excerpt from The Early Records of Groton: Massachusetts, 1662-1707 The pages of the record-book are not numbered, though there are traces of numbering in the part containing the Land-grants. The entries of the proceedings are made fre quently out of place, and sometimes the record of one meeting is found scattered about, written on the blank spaces of several leaves. These detached fragments may be' recognized from the date as belonging to the same meeting, and in this printed copy such fragments have been brought together. The paging of the early part of the record-book is indicated by the large figures enclosed within brackets. This, however, has not been deemed practicable later than June, 1681, on account of the want of chronological arrangement. The Land-grants are given at the end of this volume, and for the most part are arranged chronologically; but in some instances they are not dated. In these cases, the name of the town clerk who recorded them is given, with his term of service; and the date can be approximated near enough for practical purposes. In printing them, the capitalization and punctuation have been made to conform to modern usage, as it is thought that in this way the different localities might be more easily identified but the spelling remains unchanged.
