  • BIRTH of BOSTON PURITANS CREATE “CITY UPON a HILL” by Our Newssheet Writer in Boston September 8, 1630
    BIRTH OF BOSTON PURITANS CREATE “CITY UPON A HILL” By our newssheet writer in Boston September 8, 1630 URITAN elders declared yesterday that the Shawmut Peninsula will be called P“Boston” in the future. The seat of government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which began two years ago, will also be in Boston. It follows a meeting between John Winthrop, the colony’s elected governor and clergyman William Blackstone, one of the first settlers to live in Trimount on the peninsula, so called because of its three “mountains.” Blackstone recommended its spring waters. Winthrop (pictured) left England earlier this year to lead ships across the Atlantic. Of the hundreds of passengers on board, many were Puritans seeking religious freedom, eager to start a new life in New England. They had prepared well, bringing many horses and cows with them. The new governor, a member of the English upper classes, brought the royal charter of the Massachusetts Bay Company with him. However, the company’s charter did not impose control from England—the colony would be effectively self-governing. Arriving in Cape Ann, the passengers went ashore and picked fresh strawberries—a welcome change from shipboard life! Colonists had previously settled in the area, but dwellings had been abandoned after many had died in drastically reduced by disease. But Winthrop the harsh winter or were starving. is taking few chances by spreading out One early colonist was Roger Conant, who settlements to make it difficult for potentially established Salem near the Native Naumkeag hostile groups to attack. people. But Winthrop and the other Puritan In time, Winthrop believes many more leaders chose not to settle there, but to continue Puritans will flock to his “City upon a Hill” to the search for their own Promised Land.

The old waterfront area was designated a National Historic Site in 1938 because of the importance of commercial shipping to the early U.S. economy, the signifi- cance of the port of Salem (once the Nation’s sixth largest city), and the quality of the surviving seaport features. 1 Derby Wharf (1762), Hatch’s Wharf (1819), and Central Wharf (1791) are typical of the many wharves that once lined Salem Harbor. They were covered with dozens of warehouses—14 on Derby Wharf alone.

Reaney’s A DICTIONARY OF BRITISH SURNAMES: • Blackstan is the first entry in 1086 in the doomsday book for Essex. William Blacston, Blakeston, Blackstan 1235-42 entered in the Fees (LIBER FEODORUM, 3 volumes, London, 1920-1931) for Buckinghamshire. Old English Laecstan meaning “black stone.” • Philip Atteblakeston 1275 entered in the Subsidary Rolls for Worcestershire (Worcestershire History Society, 4 volumes, 1893-1900); William de Blakstan 1316 Feet of Fines for Kent (ARCHAEOLOGIA CANTIANA 11-15, 18, 20, 1877-93; Kent Records Society 15, 1956).

Ridge 617-627-3494 or 617-627-2890 Dept. of Geology [email protected] Tufts University Medford, MA 02155 1 1. Project Summary Intellectual merit. Rapid climate change events during deglaciation are closely linked to ice sheet, ocean, and atmosphere interactions. Understanding these interactions requires high resolution comparisons of climate and continental ice dynamics. Although general patterns of Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) variation have been discerned, they are not continuously resolved at a sub-century scale. This lack of continuous, high-resolution terrestrial glacial chronologies with accurate radiometric controls continues to be a limiting factor in understanding deglacial climate. Such records, especially from the southeastern sector of the LIS, can provide critical comparisons to N. Atlantic climate records (marine and ice core) and a rigorous test of hypotheses linking glacial activity to climate change. Consolidation of the New England Varve Chronology (NEVC), and development of its records of glacier dynamics and terrestrial change, is a rare opportunity to formulate a complete, annual-scale terrestrial chronology from 18-11.5 kyr BP. Glacial varve deposition, which is linked to glacial meltwater discharge, can be used to monitor ice sheet ablation and has a direct tie to glacier mass balance and climate.

Living in Two Worlds is a collection of interviews with five individuals who share their personal and native community stories about historic and present day connections to the Boston Harbor Islands. The DVD can be viewed as one presentation or can be viewed in individual chapters allowing you to pause for discussion. A narration is also provided to give an introduction, provide context, and offer guiding questions to each segment. The Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area and all the groups and individuals who collaborated to produce this DVD and guide view this as the first chapter in an ongoing dialogue with Northeast Native communities who maintain or are reestablishing a connection to the harbor and islands. We would like to acknowledge the contributions of the following people in the making of this video: Community Producers: Talin Avakian Garine Avakian Nairi Avakian Kohar Avakian The Quabbin Lake Singers: Larry, Sahyeed D., Anoki, and Nanti Mann Storytellers: Mildred McGowan Jim Peters Gil Soloman Annawon Weedon Larry Mann Narrator: Kristen Wyman Production Advisors: Nipmuc Nation Tribal
