Print on Demand. In the epicenter of 18th-century religious and political upheaval, this book tells the tale of the Rockingham Meeting House. A beacon of Puritanical austerity in the heart of Rockingham, Vermont, this meetinghouse served as both a civic and spiritual hub for the community. Built in 1787, it stands today as a testament to the fortitude and devotion of the town's early settlers. This book explores the Meeting House's integral role in the town's development, from its humble beginnings as a tiny structure in 1774, to its pivotal role in the establishment of the town's first church in 1773, and its subsequent expansion to accommodate the growing community. The book delves into the challenges faced by the Meeting House, including its incomplete state during the Revolutionary War and its gradual decline in the 19th century. It also examines the evolution of the town's religious landscape, marked by the rise and fall of various denominations, and the Meeting House's pivotal role in shaping this dynamic. This book is not just a chronicle of a building; it is a chronicle of the people who built it, the lives they lived, and the indelible mark they left on their community. Through the Meeting House, the author provides a lens into the complex tapestry of early American history, capturing the hopes, dreams, and struggles of a community striving to define itself in the crucible of a new nation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

VI Thou art our Father Lord, Lord God! And they who kiss Thy shining rod And break Thy bread and keep Thy tryst They walk this bitter world with Christ; All else with dire Apollyon dwell. 0 save her tender soul from Hell, And with Thy Pity stir Elvira Pulsifer/ VII Brethren, the thirty-second Psalm! And let your solemn voices calm The secret fiend from his intent, And make a virgin heart repent! Thin from the dark the pitch -pipe sounds Its note, faint stir the crisping gowns.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
