Dorchester Town Records [1632-1686]
Author: Dorchester Town Records
Publisher: Genealogical Publishing Com
ISBN: 0806351659
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
The town of Dorchester, Massachusetts, is now part of the city of Boston. In 1880 the city fathers authorized the publication of some of the oldest records of the old town of Dorchester, spanning the period 1632-1686. That publication was revised in 1883, forming the basis for this Clearfield Company reprint. Town records, not unlike county order books, are a miscellany of colonial antiquity. For example, the oldest record in the volume (dated January 1632) authorizes the granting of lots to various settlers. In April of the same year, the town commissioners specified how fences were to be constructed along the town marsh and how many feet of fencing each settler was responsible for. Other entries list the town's freemen with an indication of their acreage and livestock, announce the election of the town's selectmen, award payments to residents for services rendered to the town, set the minister's salary, proscribe various acts of misconduct, authorize road construction, order the construction of schools or the hiring of teachers, and so on. In all, these town records place thousands of persons in Dorchester during its first half-century of existence, and the reader can easily find them thanks to the detailed index at the back of the volume.

A pictorial history of the development of New York City’s Central Park from conception to completion. Drawing on the unparalleled collection of original designs for Central Park in the New York City Municipal Archives, Cynthia S.

Vicious
Author: Jon T. Coleman
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300133375
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Over a continent and three centuries, American livestock owners destroyed wolves to protect the beasts that supplied them with food, clothing, mobility, and wealth. The brutality of the campaign soon exceeded wolves’ misdeeds. Wolves menaced property, not people, but storytellers often depicted the animals as ravenous threats to human safety. Subjects of nightmares and legends, wolves fell prey not only to Americans’ thirst for land and resources but also to their deeper anxieties about the untamed frontier. Now Americans study and protect wolves and jail hunters who shoot them without authorization. Wolves have become the poster beasts of the great American wilderness, and the federal government has paid millions of dollars to reintroduce them to scenic habitats like Yellowstone National Park. Why did Americans hate wolves for centuries? And, given the ferocity of this loathing, why are Americans now so protective of the animals? In this ambitious history of wolves in America—and of the humans who have hated and then loved them—Jon Coleman investigates a fraught relationship between two species and uncovers striking similarities, deadly differences, and, all too frequently, tragic misunderstanding.
