The Hundredth Town: Glimpses of Life in Westborough, 1717-1817 (Classic Reprint)

Parkman papers, ttfanks are due to the Antiquarian Society, in Worcester, for the earliest volume of the Journal and the Natalia; to Mrs. I.E. S. Tuckerman, of A mherst, for the Journals of the years 1737 and 1778-80; to Mrs. Maria D. Leach, for that of Anna Sophia Parkman; and to Mrs. Nahum Fisher, for several papers of interest. Mrs. J..W. Brittan has kindly loaned the large.number of papers left by Dr. Hawes, and Mrs. Sarah Ball Searle, of Northborough, those of Dr. Ball. Nearly all the older residents of the town have been of very great assistance in the work, by telling stories of fact or folk-lore, or by pleasant companionship in drive or walk. For the title chosen, THE HUNDREDTH Town, I am indebted to the chance of circumstance, ninety-nine other towns having been previously incorporated in Massachusetts.
