Copyright, 1903, by EDWARD DAY COLLINS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PREFACE The charm of romance surrounds the discovery, explo- ration, and settlement of Vermont. The early records of the state offer an exceptional field for the study of social groups placed in altogether primitive and almost isolated conditions ; while in political organization this commonwealth illustrates the development of a truly organic unity. The state was for fourteen years an independent republic, prosperous and well administered. This book is an attempt to portray the conditions of life in this state since its discovery by white men, and to indicate what the essential features of its social, eco- nomic, and political development have been. It is an attempt, furthermore, to do this in such a way as to furnish those who are placed under legal requirement to give instruction in the history of the state an oppor- tunity to comply with the spirit as well as with the letter of the law. Instruction in state history rests on a perfectly sound pedagogical and historical basis. It only demands that the same facilities be afforded in the way of texts, biblio- graphical aids, and statistical data, as are demanded in any other field of historical work, and that the most approved methods of study and teaching be followed. Indeed, in certain respects state history offers a superior field for instruction in the public schools. It affords the student an opportunity to study at first hand the vi PREFACE development of those institutions which are to demand the activities and interests of his maturer Hfe. These institutions are state rather than national. Furthermore, in the interplay of local and federal politics state history illustrates the evolution of the essential relations between local institutions and the central government. It is thus a direct preparation for the study of civics and national history. It certainly is pragmatic to acquaint students with the genesis of the social, economic, and political conditions in which they find themselves placed and forced to act ; but this is quite in touch with the trend of the present educational movement. The rapidly changing conception of what history really is appHes, of course, to this department of his- torical study as to any other. These green hills and fertile valleys would have been peopled and tilled by men of essentially the same fiber if Ethan Allen had not succeeded in his audacious attempt on Ticonderoga, if Stark had not won a brilliant victory at Bennington, or if Macdonough had not been successful in a naval battle off Cumberland Head. While the political des- tiny of the state may have been shaped to some degree by military events, the social and industrial organiza- tion within the body politic has developed essentially unchanged thereby. From this point of view military events necessarily play a relatively unimportant part, and industrial activities a relatively important one. To those who may use this book for instruction a few suggestions are due. Since the subject is taught to different grades in different schools, no attempt has been PREFACE vii made to limit the scope of the work to the requirements of any one grade. It has been left to the teacher to deter- mine in each case the possibilities of his own classes. The work indicated in the map exercises on page 280 should always precede the study of the narrative. The source extracts at the beginning of the chapters and in the text illustrate the kind of material from which his- tory is written, and provide means for further analytical study. Constructive ability may best be developed by individual research and reports on topics of local interest. The statistical tables will furnish material for both ana- lytical and constructive work of a still different nature on the plan illustrated on pages 211, 212, 215, and espe- cially 221-223. The pupils should always be required to study the maps and illustrations in connection with the narrative. I wish to acknowledge a special indebtedness to Pro- fessor George H. Perkins for suggestions on the archae- ological portions of the history ; to Hon. G. G. Benedict for a similar service on the portions dealing with the military history of the state during the Civil War ; and to Mr. F. D. Nichols for his efforts in securing the illustra- tions by which the volume is so materially enriched. Barton Landing, E. D. COLLINS. Sept. 16, 1903. , TABLE OF CONTENTS Chai'Ter Page I.

They answered me yes, and that they were Iroquois, and there were in those parts beautiful valleys and fields fertile in corn as good as any I had eaten in the country, with an infinitude of other fruits, and that the lake extended close to the mountains, which were according to my judgment, fifteen leagues from us. Extractfrom Champlairi's narrative, ibog. First Discoveries by White Men In the year 1534 Jacques Cartier, sailing under com- mission from the king of France, passed through the Strait of Belle Isle into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, pos- sessed of a belief that he was on the high road to Cathay. The Breton sailor had but little time that summer to make explorations before the coming of the autumn winds bade him seek again the shores of France. With the following spring, however, he returned to his quest and sailed far up the river in eager search for a water way to the East Indies through this continent. That way he never found, but on this trip an incident befell him which has some interest for us. ; 2 HISTORY OF VERMONT In October, 1535, he came to a place on the shore of the river where the Indians had a settlement. It was then called Hochelaga ; at the same place, three fourths of a century later, the French laid the foundations of the city of Montreal. The Indians received the white men kindly, and during their brief stay guided them to the top of the mountain which rose behind their town. If that day was clear when Cartier looked eastward over the miles of frost-painted forest, he saw lying sharply against the sky line in the distance the pointed summit of Jay Peak, flanked by its domelike neighbors. Years were to come and go before white men drew near to the land of those dark hills, but when the time came they were countrymen of his who claimed the honor. It was nearly three quarters of a century later — and nearly three centuries ago — when Samuel de Champlain, servant of France in the New World, founded the city of Quebec. In that year, 1608, Milton was born; John Smith's story of the Jamestown settlement was printed in London; Sir Walter Raleigh lay imprisoned in the Tower of London writing his history of the world. The Pilgrims were then leaving the shores of old England for their brief stay in Holland before coming to the bleak coast of Plymouth; Henry Hudson had not then carried the Dutch flag into the river that bears his name ; the King James version of our Bible had not been finished and Shakespeare had not laid aside his pen.

  • THE MANY STORIES of 1704 NARRATIVE SUMMARY Memorial
    THE MANY STORIES OF 1704 NARRATIVE SUMMARY Memorial Hall Museum, in collaboration with Native and French Canadian cultural organizations, proposes to fully develop an exemplary website, focusing on the Deerfield Attack of 1704, which demonstrates a model approach for museums to depict and voice diverse perspectives of history in a way that is engaging and compelling to the general public. This project will demonstrate an innovative use of technology (both website design and programming tools) that can assist museums in meeting their goal to offer multiple historical perspectives. This website will be widely promoted to public audiences, and will be rigorously evaluated to measure whether desired outcomes have been attained. Technological tools, applications, and products created to support this approach will be extensively disseminated to the museum community to facilitate widespread adoption of this model. A prototype of the proposed site can be viewed at http://www.digitalgizmo.com/pvma/1704/prototype/index.html. BACKGROUND The Deerfield Attack of 1704 was a major battle in Queen Anne’s War, one of the series of wars known collectively as the French and Indian Wars that were fought between France and England, with their Native American allies. On February 29, 1704, the bucolic town of Deerfield, Massachusetts of today was, for one brief, three- hour span, the main stage of violent clashing among European colonial empires, diverse Native American nations, and personal ambitions. The French led 48 French and 200 Abenaki, Pennacook, Kanien’kehaka (Mohawk), and Wendat (Huron) soldiers in an attack, resulting in a decisive victory, with the death or capture of more than half of Deerfield’s 291 residents.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY FOR THE YEARS 1921, 1922 AND 1923 CAPI TAL C ITY PRESS MONTPE LIER, VT. 192 4 Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History Prior to the Establishment of the Vermont Constitution A PAPER READ BEFORE THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT WINDSOR IN THE OLD CONSTITUTION HOUSE SEPTEMBER 4, 1822 By Henry Steele Wardner Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History To be invited to address you in this, my native town and still my home, and in this, the most notable of Vermont's historic buildings, gives me real pleasure. That pleasure is the greater because of my belief that through the neglect of some of Vermont's historians as well as through the enter­ prise of others who, like myself, have had their own towns or group of individuals to serve and honor, the place of Windsor in Vermont's written history is not what the town deserves and because your invitation gives me an opportunity to show some forgotten parts of Windsor's claim to historic impor­ tance. Today I shall not describe the three celebrated conven­ tions held in this town in 1777, the first of which gave to the State its name, while the second and third created the State and gave to it its corporate existence and its first constitution; nor shall I touch upon the first session of Vermont's legislature held here in 1778, although upon these several events mainly hangs Windsor's fame as far as printed history is concerned. Nor shall I dwell upon Windsor as the first town of Vermont in culture and social life through the last decade of the eigh­ teenth century and the first quarter of the nineteenth, nor yet upon the extraordinary influence which the early artisans and inventors of this town have had upon industries in various parts of the world.

SEYMOUR BASSETT Cornelius Peter Van Ness was a colorful and vigorous leader in a formative period of Vermont history, hut he has remained in the dusk of that history. In this paper Mr. Bassett has sought to recall __ mm and IUs activities and through him throw definite light on h4s ---------­ eventfultime.l.- -In--this--study Van--N-esr--ir-brought;-w--rlre-dt:a.mot~ months of his attempt in the senatorial election of I826 to succeed Horatio Seymour. 'Ulhen Mr. Bassett has completed his research into thot phase of the career of Van Ness, we hope to present the re­ sults in another paper. Further comment will he found in the Post­ script. Editor. NDIVIDUALISM is the boasted virtue of Vermonters. If they I are right in their boast, biographies of typical Vermonters should re­ veal what individualism has produced. Governor Van Ness was a typical Vermonter of the late nineteenth century, but out of harmony with the Vermont spirit of his day. This essay sketches his meteoric career in administrative, legislative and judicial office, and his control of Vermont federal and state patronage for a decade up to the turning point of his career, the senatorial campaign of 1826.1 His family had come to N ew York in the seventeenth century. 2 His father was by trade a wheelwright, strong-willed, with little book-learning. A Revolutionary colonel and a county judge, his purchase of Lindenwald, an estate at Kinderhook, twenty miles down the Hudson from Albany, marked his social and pecuniary success.s Cornelius was born at Lindenwald on January 26, 1782.

  • GUIDE to the WILLIAMS FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note
    GUIDE TO THE WILLIAMS FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note: The Williams Family Papers, which were received by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association from many sources over a long period of time, consist of four types of material: (1) approximately 3500 original manuscripts of the 18th and 19th centuries written by or addressed to various descendants of Robert Williams, "cordwayner" of Norwich, England, who came to this country in 1637 and settled in Roxbury, Mass.; (2) reproductions of similar manuscripts elsewhere in Deerfield or in other locations; (3) transcripts of Williams material; and (4) notes and correspondence of George Sheldon and others that relate to the Williams family. The numbers in superscript that follow many of the names in this guide are those assigned by George Sheldon in the Williams genealogy included in the second volume of his History of Deerfield, Massachusetts (1895). Biographical Notes and Description of Manuscripts: Thomas Williams15, a great-great grandson of Robert1, was born in 1736, studied medicine with Dr. Thomas Williams14 in Deerfield, and then settled in Roxbury, Mass. He married Abigail, daughter of Major Elijah Williams,12 in 1760. Thomas died in 1815, his widow in 1818. He is represented by an undated letter from his father-in-law, asking him to bring or arrange to have brought various items from Boston. [See box of reproductions for photocopy of his will, dated 1814.] Ebenezer Hinsdale Williams23, son of Thomas15 was born in 1761. He was a farmer who lived for many years at "Carter's Land." Later he bought several lots on the main village street and lived on Lot 42 from 1816 until his death in 1838.
