Town by town, New England grew-Watertown, Sudbury, Turkey Hills, Fitchburg, Westminster, Walpole-and with each new community the myth of America flourished. In People of the Wachusett the history of the New England town becomes the cultural history of America's first frontier. Integral to this history are the firsthand narratives of town founders and citizens, English, French, and Native American, whose accounts of trading and warring, relocating and putting down roots proved essential to the building of these communities. Town plans, local records, broadside ballads, vernacular house forms and furniture, festivals-all come into play in this innovative book, giving a rich picture of early Americans creating towns and crafting historical memory. Beginning with the Wachusett, in northern Worcester County, Massachusetts, David Jaffee traces the founding of towns through inland New England and Nova Scotia, from the mid-seventeenth century through the Revolutionary Era. His history of New England's settlement is one in which the replication of towns across the landscape is inextricable from the creation of a regional and national culture, with stories about colonization giving shape and meaning to New England life. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aCities and towns$zNew England$xHistory 606 $aLand settlement$zNew England$xHistory 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zHistory 606 $aCities and towns$xHistory$zNew England 606 $aLand settlement$xHistory$zNew England 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$xHistory$zNew England 606 $aRegions & Countries - Americas$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aUnited States Local History$2HILCC 607 $aNew England$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aNew England$xHistory$y1775-1865 607 $aNew England$xHistory, Local 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aLand settlement$xHistory. 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory 615 0$aLand settlement$xHistory 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life$xHistory 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Americas 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aUnited States Local History 676 $a974/.02 700 $aJaffee$b David$0595360 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247904803316 996 $aPeople of the Wachusett$93406173 997 $aUNISA
