Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Newburyport, Mass; 1764-1905 When Newburyport was incorporated, in 1764, it covered an area of only six hundred and forty-seven acres, and in territorial extent was the smallest town in the province of Massachusetts Bay. It was bounded on the southeast, southwest and northwest by the town of Newbury, and on the northeast by the Merrimack river, and had a population of about twenty-eight hundred men, women and children. During the Revolutionary war the merchants of Newburyport imported clothing and military stores for the use of the Continental army and fitted out privateers, in large numbers, "to cruise against the enemies of the United States." Many interesting facts relating to the service they rendered on land and sea have been gathered from letters and papers on file at the state house in Boston and are now published for the first time. What they said and did to uphold the cause of liberty, in the long struggle with the king and parliament of England, is told in their own language, as far as possible, without embellishment or words of comment. Public documents, town records and old newspapers have been carefully examined and- freely quoted in order to give with scrupulous exactness the views and opinions they publicly expressed. Many events and incidents connected with the history of Newburyport since the beginning of the nineteenth century are imperfectly described in the following pages for lack of space, and, for the same reason, biographical sketches of the men and women prominent in the commercial or social life of the town are omitted.
