The History Of Holden Massachusetts 1684 1894 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The History of Holden, Massachusetts 1684-1894 The preparation of this history was undertaken only at the request of the citizens of Holden. After unforeseen delays, some of which are to be expected in connection with every such work, while others have grown out of removal and dis tance, it is now submitted to those at whose invitation it was prepared. In size and scope, it far exceeds the very modest bounds at first intended, and the labor and care required have increased still more beyond expectation. Even with the present size, it should of course be understood that it has still been necessary to select what has been told, out of more which remains untold. It is also very possible that traditions and information have sometimes been mislead ingras they certainly are often conflicting. Whatever omissions and errors shall be found, will be in spite of patient and uh prejudiced painstaking. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
