Excerpt from The First Century of the History of Springfield, Vol. 1: The Official Records From 1636 to 1736; With an Historical Review and Biographical Mention of the Founders
In addition I have given a brief review of some of the lead ing events, and a chronological summary from which the dates of occurrences can be readily obtained, which otherwise could be learned only by a more exhaustive reading. The index will also be found unusually full. This will bring to the reader a more accurate knowledge of the various trans actions which originated here, some of which concern the beginnings of other settlements, and also a clearer view of the circumstances and motives which gave them birth, and will enable the individual reader to find that which is of most interest to him without spending hours in fruitless search.

Excerpt from The First Century of the History of Springfield, Vol. 1: The Official Records From 1636 to 1736; With an Historical Review and Biographical Mention of the Founders
A people which takes no pride in the noble achievements of remote ancestors, will never achieve anything worthy to be remembered with pride by remote descendants.
- Macaulay.
It is in the town records of Massachusetts that the American historical unit is to be sought. The political philosopher can there study the slow development of a system as it grew from the germ up. The details are trivial, monotonous, and
not easy to clothe with interest; yet the volumes which contain them are the most precious archives. Upon their tattered pages the hardly legible letters of the ill-spelled words are written in ink grown pale with age, but they are all we have left to tell us of the first stages of a political growth which has ripened into the dominant influence of the new world; nor is it too much to imagine that when the idea of full human self-government, first slowly welded into practical form in New England towns, and as yet far from perfect, shall have permeated the civilized world and assumed final shape, then these town records will be accepted as second in historical importance to no other description of archives.
- Charles Francis Adams.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of Springfield, Massachusetts, chronicling the town's founding and its evolution during its first century. The author meticulously explores the early lives of the settlers, their motivations for leaving England, and the challenges they faced in establishing a new life in the wilderness. We witness the development of the town's unique form of government, a system born from the settlers' deep belief in self-governance and their desire to build a society free from the constraints of English rule. The book delves into the complex relationship between the settlers and the native inhabitants, showcasing the careful process of land purchase and the town's efforts to maintain peaceful relations. We learn about the social structure of the community, the role of religion in their lives, and the emergence of local leaders and their contributions to the town's growth. By examining the records of early town meetings, land grants, and births, marriages, and deaths, the author paints a vibrant portrait of life in early Springfield, providing insight into the values and aspirations of the founding generation. The book reveals the remarkable resilience and ingenuity of these early Americans, as they laid the foundations for a society based on self-determination and democratic principles.
