Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Colonial and Revolutionary History of Haverhill: A Centennial Oration, Delivered Before the City Government and the Citizens of Haverhill, July 4, 1876 Mr. Mayor and Fellow Citizens: Two hundred and thirty-six years ago a little band of men came from the neighboring towns of Ipswich and Newbury and settled in this pleasant valley of Pentucket. From the banks of the Merrimack to the Canada line stretched the primeval forest, unbroken, save where the frail villages of the red man dotted the intervales or nestled along the shores of the lakes. Under the sanction of Governor Winthrop, and having received a deed of the vast tract of land from the Indians, these intrepid men began their work of clearing the forest, erecting their rude dwellings, and preparing the land for cultivation. The limits of the township originally included most of the territory now forming the townships of Salem, Atkinson, Hampstead and Plaistow, N. H., and Methuen, Mass. In 1642 the deed of the town was given to John Ward, Robert Clements, Tristram Coffin, Hugh Sheratt and William White, by the chief´s Passaquo and Saggahew in consideration of the sum of three pounds and ten shillings. The plantation received the act of incorporation in 1645. With these small but honorable beginnings our fathers commenced the foundation work upon which the children have so nobly built.
