Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony
I have tried to tell, accurately but in readable fashion, the Story of the builders of our Town: their homes and home life, their employments, their Sabbath keeping, their love of learning, their administration of Town affairs, their sterndelusions, and their heroism, in War and in resistance to Tyranny. The seventeenth century was a brilliant and thrilling period in Ipswich history, and it seemed best to me to consider it some what at length, and to close my historical study with the end Of that century rather than to attempt a briefer summary of the complete history of the Town. If this work finds favor, I shall begin at once to gather material for another volume, in which the historical and topographical studies will be carried on to completion.
NO attempt has been made to construct a genealogical appendix. The magnitude Of the undertaking, properly carried out, seemed too great, and the forthcoming publication of the Vital statistics'of the Town, by the Essex Institute, renders it unnecessary. In Part Two, however, a topographical study has been made, from the beginning to the present generation. Nearly two thousand citations from the County Records have been carefully verified, and the likelihood of error has been reduced to the lowest possible degree.

About the Author:
Founded in 1890, the Ipswich Historical Society operates two museums on the South Village Green-the John Whipple House and the Heard House Museum-and provides lectures and other educational programs for its membership and the public. For this project, the Ipswich Historical Society was fortunate to augment its rich historical photograph collection with selections from major collections of individuals and institutions. These vivid images, together with writer William M. Varrell's gift for local history stories, create a delightful picture of this historic town.
