Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dorchester, Past and Present: A Sermon Preached in the Second Church, Dorchester, December 26, 1869 At a meeting of the "Court of Assistants" of Massachusetts Colony, held at Charlestown, Sept. 7, 1030. corresponding to Sept. 17 of our present style, it was voted, "That Trimountain be called Boston; and Mattapan, Dorchester." The streams thus flowing from a common source, after winding in separate channels for nearly two hundred and forty years, are again to be united; and as Dorchester thus terminates its independent existence, it seems a fitting time to survey the scenes of the past. Our ancient town has a name honorable from the first, and unsullied, and a history full of interest. Its first settlers formed part of the expedition, which, ten years after the settlement of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, was fitted out in the west of England under Gov. Winthrop.
