Excerpt from An Address: Commemorative of the Part Taken by the Inhabitants of the Original Town of Leicester, in the Events of the Revolution, Delivered at Leicester, July 4, 1849
I have thought these remarks were dhe to the occa sion when assembled, as we are, to commemorate the part which one of these towns took in the struggle for our independence. Humble as this part may have been, and limited as were her means to urge forward the great enterprize of the nation, we shall, if I do not greatly mistake, discover in her unpretending history, the same Springs of action, the same sacrifices, the same hopes and the same causes of discouragement which give to our national annals, of that period, so much of their ex citing interest.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book commemorates the 150th anniversary of the founding of the original town of Leicester, Massachusetts. It details the town's involvement in the American Revolution from its inception to the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. It traces the town's history from its founding in 1714, and its transformation into a district comprising Spencer, Paxton and parts of what is now Auburn, to its incorporation as a town in 1778. Throughout the book, the author places Leicester's role in the American Revolution within the broader context of the Province of Massachusetts Bay's response to British policies, from the Stamp Act to the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Drawing connections between the town's revolutionary activities and the broader war effort, this book provides an engaging and historically significant view of the founding of the United States.
