Book Description
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Citizens of Nahant, Memorial Day, 1882 Untrampled lies the sod; The shouts of battle cease, It is the Truce of God. Last year I saw it stated in the newspapers that it was to be feared that the celebration and observance of this day were declining. For one, I cannot and do not believe this. It is changing somewhat in its character, it is true, but it is not fading. It is losing its personal quality, that which gave it birth, and with the lapse of time the element of mourning is slipping away from it. It is, in a word, becoming more impersonal. This could not be, nor would we wish it to be, otherwise; for me morial day is thus in the order of development taking on a broader and deeper significance. It is coming to stand as the annual recognition of an era in the life of the nation, and to represent the war and all the work and results of the war. For more than a hundred years we have celebrated the Revolution which freed us from colonial dependence, and the Fourth of July is still strong in our affections, and as I believe valued and valuable.

Book Description
Across nineteenth-century New England, antiquarians and community leaders wrote hundreds of local histories about the founding and growth of their cities and towns. Ranging from pamphlets to multivolume treatments, these narratives shared a preoccupation with establishing the region as the cradle of an Anglo-Saxon nation and the center of a modern American culture. They also insisted, often in mournful tones, that New England’s original inhabitants, the Indians, had become extinct, even though many Indians still lived in the very towns being chronicled. InFirsting and Lasting, Jean M. O’Brien argues that local histories became a primary means by which European Americans asserted their own modernity while denying it to Indian peoples. Erasing and then memorializing Indian peoples also served a more pragmatic colonial goal: refuting Indian claims to land and rights. Drawing on more than six hundred local histories from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island written between 1820 and 1880, as well as censuses, monuments, and accounts of historical pageants and commemorations, O’Brien explores how these narratives inculcated the myth of Indian extinction, a myth that has stubbornly remained in the American consciousness. In order to convince themselves that the Indians had vanished despite their continued presence, O’Brien finds that local historians and their readers embraced notions of racial purity rooted in the century’s scientific racism and saw living Indians as “mixed” and therefore no longer truly Indian. Adaptation to modern life on the part of Indian peoples was used as further evidence of their demise. Indians did not—and have not—accepted this effacement, and O’Brien details how Indians have resisted their erasure through narratives of their own. These debates and the rich and surprising history uncovered in O’Brien’s work continue to have a profound influence on discourses about race and indigenous rights.
