Excerpt from Address Delivered in Petersham, Massachusetts, July 4, 1854: In Commonwealth of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Incorporation of That Town

The writer of the following Address would have been glad to make something else of it, which should have been of more per manent value. He would have preferred to recast and expand it into the form of a somewhat complete Town History. But he did not see how this could be done for some years at least; while he did see that the present publication might indirectly serve the same purpose, by provoking a new and wider interest in the town's annals, and stimulating curiosity to a keener search after the materials from which a more complete account of the town could be made at some future day by some other hand.

Excerpt from Address Delivered in Petersham, Massachusetts, July 4, 1854: In Commonwealth of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Incorporation of That Town

The act of incorporation, by which the plantation of Nichewaug became a town, bears date April 20, 1754.The day chosen for the celebration of its centennial festival was not, it will be perceived, the precise anniversary of the incorporation. The true day falling in a month when the weather is quite unsuitable for out-of-door rejoicings, when the roads are usually bad, - sometimes hardly passable, - and when, consequently, access to the town from distant places would be attended with much discomfort and difficulty, another day was substituted for it.

The writer of the following Address would have been glad to make something else of it, which should have been of more permanent value. He would have preferred to recast and expand it into the form of a somewhat complete Town History. But he did not see how this could be done for some years at least; while he did see that the present publication might indirectly serve the same purpose, by provoking a new and wider interest in the town's annals, and stimulating curiosity to a keener search after the materials from which a more complete account of the town could be made at some future day by some other hand.
