Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Wilbraham, Massachusetts The fact that the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of Wilbraham was approaching, was brought to the attention of the town at the annual meeting held in 1911, by the following article in the warrant: Art. 17. "To see if the town will take any action in regard to the celebration of its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary in 1913." Under this article the following votes were passed. "Voted that a committee of five be chosen to make all arrangements for the celebration, with power to act, and that they report at the next annual meeting the result of the progress made." At a meeting of Historical Committee, held soon afterwards, Chauncey E. Peck was chosen historian, and Miss Evanore O. Beebe secretary. At the annual town meeting in 1912, a report of the progress made was given by the chairman, and the town voted to instruct the committee to publish an illustrated history of the town. Many meetings were held by the Historical Committee, and many sub-committees were appointed to arrange different details of the program fro the celebration. All of which were carried out in a manner creditable to those who had arranged them, as will appear from reading the newspaper accounts of the celebration. The actual day of the signing of the Act of Incorporation was on June 15th, but as that day came on Sunday in 1913, it was decided to begin the three days' celebration on Tuesday, June 17th.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Wesleyan Academy: At Wilbraham, Mass;; 1817-1890 To those interested in the work of education, this volume will prove valuable, as containing the record of early struggles in building a literary institution. The founding was a work of faith. The preachers of the New England Conference made a great venture. Like the patriarch, they marched into a strange land they were to possess only after many days of toil and trial. The history shows the ultimate realization of their highest expectations. As the first successful experiment of the Methodists in American education, the enterprise has an interest for all the disciples of Wesley. At Wilbraham, after many defeats and hindrances, the leaders made a stand and turned the tide of battle in favor of higher education by the church. From the day Fisk planted his foot on the soil, the work prospered and progressed. A new spirit entered the denomination, and Christian schools began to spring up, under Methodist auspices, in every part of the land. Let none of the later schools forget how much they owe to this earliest and honored institution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Haverhill, Massachusetts That Spirit of liberty, - that/ earnest longing for independence which animates the breast of man, is not. To be spoken of - it is not to be written, analyzed nor criticised; but to be mused upon - to be felt - and to be acted in the field, or in the hall of legislation. It may be crushed, but never destroyed; it may nearly wither beneath the hot breath of monarchy, but it will never die. We might as well think of handling the lightning, or of changing the course of the thunder-bolt, as to destroy it. T is unfathomable - indescribable unknown, but to him who feels it. The roar of conflicting armies, the crackling of a conflagration the clanking of chains, the horrors of a dungeon nothing will appal the heart which it animates. In the long and arduous struggle of the Colonies for independence, Haverhill bore its share of the losses, both in men and treasure; perhaps none, of the same wealth and population, cud inor Blost of the inhabi tants were ready, at any period, to sacrifice their for tunes, and even their lives, to support the government of their choice. Their taxes were frequently enormous, but they were cheerfully borne. Though darkness and gloom often hung like a pal] over the struggling nation, still they were not dispirited, but clung to hope, like men who had determined to die, rather than see their beloved country groaning in slavery.

Book Description
Excerpt from Massachusetts in the American Revolution While the outbreak and progress of the revolution incontestably led to a great ex pansion of the human mind, that movement was felt rather in the field and the council, than in the closet or the schools. The war against England, which requiredfor its successful prosecution great powers and distinguished talents, happily appeared to create and to foster both. Whenever the occasion arose, there were always found men worthy of the occasion. Those who had manifested no special commanding faculties in the piping times of peace, were found, under the rousing stimulus of war.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Puritan Republic of the Massachusetts Bay: In New England No period in the history of this country is more interesting than that covered by the Puritan commonwealth of Massachusetts Bay. About no other, not even the revolutionary period, has so much been written. That interest in it does not flag is evidenced by the great number of books and magazine articles relating to that period which have been published in recent times. Every phase of life in the Puritan age has received minute investigation and critical discussion. Old records and documents have been searched, and a vast flood of light has been turned upon the religious, the political, the economic, the industrial, and the social life of the early Puritans. Merely to indicate the bibliography relating to that period would require much space. The so-called Theocracy of the Massachusetts commonwealth has been a fruitful theme, and the discussion of its religious intolerance seems to be as earnest, and almost as rancorous, today as it was at any former period. Up to the year 1856, there had been a great deal written by the historians designated by Mr. Fiske as "ancestor-worshipers," who found little to condemn in the Puritans of the commonwealth period. In that year Mr. Peter Oliver published a volume entitled "The Puritan Commonwealth." It is written in keen, vigorous and classic language, but no attempt is made by the author to conceal his prejudices.
