None but a man of grand proportions could have emerged into prominence to stand with them. Webster, Choate, Story, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jeremiah Mason, the Hoars, Dana, Otis, and Caleb Cushing were among them. Of the lives and careers of all of these, full and adequate records have been written. But of him who was first their associate, and later their judge, the greatest legal figure of them all, only meagre accounts survive. It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained.

  • Gen. Charles Devens Commemorative Medal
    GEN. CHARLES DEVENS COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL In celebration of the first Allied Orders National Encampment to be held in Massachusetts in more than three decades, a commemorative medal has been struck and is available for purchase by Allied Orders Members. The medal features one of the Bay State’s most distinguished sons, Brigadier General Charles Devens. Gen. Devens was the fifth Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the first from Massachusetts. He also served as Commander of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, President of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, and President of the Bunker Hill Memorial Association. General Devens was wounded in battle three times during the Civil War: at Ball’s Bluff, Chickahominy and Chancellorsville, and was brevetted Major General in recognition of his valor in the face of the enemy, at the personal request of General Ulysses S. Grant. He served as Attorney General of the United States under Rutherford B. Hayes and as an Associate Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court. This limited edition, numbered commemorative medals feature a portrait of General Devens and a list of his most noted accomplishments. Proceeds from the sale of the medals will be used to defray the cost of hosting the 2008 National Encampment of the Allied Orders. The General Charles Devens Commemorative Medal will be $20 each, and will be available for purchase at the 2008 National Encampment of the Allied Orders.

  • The Long-Ago Squadrons of Cambridge
    The Long-ago Squadrons of Cambridge Michael Kenney Cambridge Historical Commission January 2017 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project was triggered by noting a curious description of early land divisions in Cambridge — “squadrons” — while reading an early draft of Building Old Cambridge. Co-author Charles M. Sullivan suggested that I investigate the use of that term in colonial Massachusetts. The results of that investigation are presented in this paper. Thanks are due to Sullivan, and also to his British colleague Roger Thompson. Others who aided my research with their comments included Christopher J. Lenney and Brian Donahue whose contributions are noted in the text. The reconstructed map appears in Building Old Cambridge. Sara Kenney gave a careful reading and many helpful suggestions. “Squadrons” is a curious term that shows up in the early records of Cambridge and a number of other towns in Middlesex County and eastern Worcester County. Its curiousness comes from the fact that not only is it a term that had disappeared from use by the late 1700s and apparently appears nowhere else, but also that its origin is obscure. In Cambridge it was used in 1683, 1707 and 1724 to describe divisions of land. Recent research in other town histories finds that “squadron” was used either for that purpose or to describe what soon became known as school districts. In only three of the towns studied so far did it have the military significance which it has today, and which it had in England as early as 1562. Left unanswered is the question of why this term appeared in New England by 1636 (in Watertown) and had disappeared by 1794 (in Chelmsford) — and why it was apparently used only in Middlesex County and nearby Worcester County, as well as one very early use in New Haven, Connecticut.
