    Soft cover. Condición: New. Entangled Lives, Black and White: The Black Community, Enslaved and Free, in Eighteenth Century Lincoln, Massachusetts (2024) Lincoln Historical Society, Lincoln, MA Paperback. New.  In the eighteenth century, the town of Lincoln was a small community lying between Lexington and Concord in rural Massachusetts. Lincoln was the site of one of the most ferocious battles on April 19, 1775, the first day of the War for Independence.  Lincoln had a significant community of Black residents, both enslaved and free, who helped the town thrive in the years before the Revolution. They plowed the fields, harvested the food, did the cooking, washed the laundry, cared for the children, and tended the sick and elderly. But as was so common in eighteenth century Massachusetts, little effort was made by the town of Lincoln to record even the most basic facts about its Black residents, whether free or enslaved, nor to acknowledge how their lives were intertwined with the white community around them. From town records, one would hardly know they existed. Yet the labor of this Black community yielded food, clothing, shelter, and warmth of hearth for white households in Lincoln. For some, ownership of enslaved servants also enhanced the family s status among their white neighbors. Lincoln s Black population was not large, yet more than a hundred white residents lived under the same roof with an enslaved Black person, and vastly more mingled with their Black neighbors in church, in the market, and in the fields and workshops. They lived entangled lives, Black and white, enslaved and free. Here are their stories.…

    Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 1786, Abigail Adams wrote this about her brother, William Smith: "Let all remembrance of his connection with this family cease, by a total silence upon the subject. . My friends will do me a kindness by strictly adhering to this request." William Smith and his older sister Abigail were born into a minister's family in a Massachusetts town south of Boston. When the American Revolution began on April 19, 1775, Abigail was married to John Adams, whose statesmanship during the American Revolution would eventually win him election as the second President of the United States. In April 1775, William Smith and his family occupied one of the largest farms in Lincoln, Massachusetts, west of Boston. Even though he had no military experience and had moved to Lincoln only a year or so earlier, William was elected Captain of the town's minute men. On April 19th, Captain William Smith and his soldiers joined the day-long battle with British troops that began at the North Bridge in Concord. As the Patriot army stood overlooking the North Bridge, wracked with indecision, William Smith's offer to have his minute men attack the British galvanized the resolve of those around him, and the Patriot army marched toward the Bridge. William Smith then joined the Siege of Boston as a Captain in the new Continental Army. Yet within two months, he would be absent from the battlefield as his soldiers fought at Bunker Hill. Within thirty months, he would be a British prisoner of war, having been captured during an ill-fated venture as a privateer. Within a dozen years, William would be dead, far from family and fame. The manner in which William Smith became Captain of a minute man company at the age of 28 and a participant in the most important day in American history, only to die in poverty, disgrace, and estrangement from his wife and family at the age of 40, is a tangled tale. The tale is told here in an engaging style, tracing the lives of William Smith, his wife and six children, his slave Cato, and their relationships with William's famous sister, Abigail Adams. While telling William's tale, this book also explores the life of American soldier's in camp during the Siege of Boston, the rewards and hazards of privateering during the Revolutionary War, the treatment of American prisoners of war by the British, and the social and economic challenges faced by New England families during and after the War. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Their appeal -- conjuring images of afternoons in homey tearooms or elegant gatherings in grand hotels -- is universal. But a new generation of teapots has stood tradition on its ear. As author Leslie Ferrin says, "Today the teapot has one foot in the kitchen and the other in the art world." "For the artist, making a teapot provides daunting challenges. As the various parts -- body, lid, handle, spout and foot -- are assembled, each creator must solve technical difficulties within the context of design, function and scale. As a result, teapots are the objects with which artists in all media demonstrate the heights of their technical and creative abilities." "Teapots Transformed: Exploration of an Object tells the tale of this art form, from the traditional, functional teapot to an eclectic mix of contemporary designs. The exhilarating collection is presented in more than 120 vivid full-color photographs. The book will delight tea drinkers around the world, while providing inspiration for artists and a visual feast for the growing number of teapot collectors.
