Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Petersham, Massachusetts, Incorporated April 20, 1754: Volunteerstown or Voluntown, 1730-1733, Nichewaug, 1733-1754 Petersham Here, where the peace of the Creator lies, Far from the busy mart's incessant hum, Where mountains in their lonely grandeur rise, Waiting unmoved the ages yet to come, Thou dwellest under broad and tranquil skies, A green oasis with unfailing springs, The undisturbed home of restful things. Here, with the morn, when day is blithely breaking, And from the east a hemisphere of light Rolls westward o'er a world refreshed, awaking From the embrace of slumber and of night, Sweet comes the bonny bluebird's joyous greeting, While strutting Chanticleer, with tuneful throat Heralds the day in shrill, exultant note. At sunset through thy woods I take my way, Threading the mazy walks and avenues, While from the crimson west some lingering ray Falls on my path, and memory's shrine endues With dreamy incense of a by-gone day, And in the thronging multitudes of sylvan voices Sweet summer music tells us how the wood rejoices. Ah, can this be the Paradise? or yet Bright El Dorado, or Arcadia, where Glad fairies revel when the sun hath set, And songs of birds forever fill the air? Where nymph or dryad, with soft eyes of jet, Lures the late wanderer to his final rest, And charms his life out on her faithless breast?

Historic Powder Houses of New England
Author: Matthew E. ThomasPublisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1625847203
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
In the turbulent history of colonial New England, more than two hundred powder houses were built to store gunpowder, guns and armaments. Even the spark from a metal shoe nail could ignite their contents, so they often sat in remote sections of town. These volatile storehouses played a vital role in earning and preserving American independence. It was, after all, to a powder house in Concord, Massachusetts, that the British army marched in April 1775 to seize colonists' gunpowder. The British were thwarted, and the colonists' defense of the powder house ignited the Revolutionary War. Add to this the duels, murders, public hangings and tragic explosions that checkered the history of these structures, and the reader will discover a fascinating and forgotten aspect of our New England heritage. Using meticulous research, Matthew Thomas narrates the colorful histories of New England's powder houses as he resurrects their historical significance in early American history.
