Leicester Notables - Softcover
The community of Leicester in central Massachusetts has a rich history. From the purchase of an area the natives called "Towtaid" in 1686 to the present day, Leicester has experienced settlement by farmers and merchants, and its incorporation as a town in 1722. Its military readiness set the example for the American Revolution's "Minute Men", and it was an enclave of religious tolerance. It was the birthplace of the carding industry and cradle of the wire industry during the 1800s. Albert B. Southwick, local historian and life-long Leicester resident, has brought together in this volume the stories of many of the noteworthy people who helped shape Leicester over the centuries since its founding as a community. Their tales are as unique as the town they helped shape.
