President Walcott gave out the notice of the Bay State Historical League's winter meeting in Arlington, inviting members of the Cambridge Historical Society to attend. Professor BEALE then read his informative paper on "The History of Local Government in 1 Cambridge." ​ At its close, Professor Hall asked several questions on the changes in the character of ​ public servants, etc. Mr. Cook asked the opinion of Professor Beale on the most important step toward the improvement of city government; the answer was, "Restore the Common Council." Professor White, as Chairman, then reported for the Committee on Nominations.

Refreshments were served in the Faculty Lobby. 6 ​NINETY-EIGHTH MEETING UPON THE INVITATION of Mrs. J. G. Thorpe and Mr. H. W. L. Dana, a meeting of the Cambridge Historical Society was held in the Craigie House, 105 Brattle Street, in honor of the two hundredth anniversary of General Washington's birth. President Walcott presided and introduced Mr. DANA, who read an account of General Washington's occupancy of the Craigie House and also some letters written by the General during his stay there.1 ​ At the conclusion of Mr. Dana's paper President Walcott spoke briefly with regard to the location of a permanent memorial of General Washington's residence in Cambridge. Mr. Hollis R. Bailey moved that, "We heartily endorse the proposal of the Cambridge Committee on the Bicentennial of the birth of George Washington that the United States erect a statue to Washington to commemorate his taking command of the Armies of the United Colonies at Cambridge on July 2, 1775, at the site of the Washington Elm or near-by on Cambridge Common, the said statue to be preferably equestrian." The motion was seconded, and unanimously adopted. The thanks of the Society were extended to Mrs. Thorpe and to Mr. Dana for their hospitality. Afterwards the company were entertained at tea by Mrs. Thorpe and Mr. Dana. 1 ​ ​ This paper is to be included in a volume that Mr. Dana is preparing on the history of Craigie House. 7 NINETY-NINTH MEETING THE SPRING MEETING OF THE SOCIETY was held on Tuesday, April 26, 1932, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Eldon R. James, 114 Brattle Street. There was an attendance of sixtyseven. ​ In the absence of President Walcott, Vice-President Stoughton Bell presided. The meeting was called to order at 8:15 o'clock. The minutes of the Annual Meeting and of the Special Meeting at Craigie House, held on Washington's Birthday, were read and approved. The Secretary read a letter from Mr. Stephen H. Mahoney, Secretary of the Cambridge Committee for the Observance of the George Washington Bicentennial, the pertinent portions of which are as follows: "It is the plan of the Massachusetts Commission to dedicate in each of the cities and towns through which Washington traveled on his route to Cambridge, a bronze tablet appropriately marked to designate the Highway. Because of the lack of any municipal appropriation for the purpose, the Cambridge Committee feels that the amount of money necessary for the securing of the tablet (estimated at $150) can be raised by subscription from several organizations within the city. With this purpose in mind, the Cambridge Committee presents the matter to the Cambridge Historical Society for consideration, with the idea in mind that your Society may see fit to contribute toward this fund." Mr. Frank G. Cook moved that a donation of $25.00 be made out of the funds of the Society for the purpose explained in Mr. Mahoney's letter. The motion was seconded, and unanimously carried. 8 Mrs. Vosburgh, a member of the Cambridge Committee for the Observance of the George Washington Bicentennial, explained the plans of the Committee for the dedication of the George Washington Highway. On Mrs. Vosburgh's motion, it was voted that a committee of the Cambridge ​ ​ Historical Society be appointed to cooperate with the Cambridge Bicentennial Committee. The Curator, Mr. Briggs, displayed a number of gifts to the Society. Professor Hart spoke of a collection of references to Washington's stay in Cambridge which he had gathered, sufficient in amount to make a volume of about one hundred and fifty printed pages, which he hoped might be printed by the Society. He offered to present a bust of General Washington to the Society. Upon Professor Beale's motion, Professor Hart's suggestion as to printing was referred to the Council with power to act. Professor Hart's offer of the Washington bust was accepted with thanks. Mr. DAVID T. POTTINGER then read a paper, "John Burgoyne: Politician, Dandy, and Man of Letters."1 ​ After a vote of thanks to Mr. Pottinger for his interesting paper, the meeting adjourned. 1 See​ pp. 29-45, post ​ ​ 9 ONE HUNDREDTH MEETING ON JUNE 10th, 1932 the Society were guests of Mrs. Robert de W. Sampson at a Lawn Party at her residence, 108 Brattle Street. There were between eighty and ninety members present. At 4:30 P.M. the meeting was called to order in the studio of Mrs. Sampson's residence. President Walcott presided. Miss MARY DEANE DEXTER read two papers on Sparks Street and its former residents. One of the papers was by Miss Maria Bowen, and the other by the late Mrs. Rosalba Smith Proell.1 ​ After the reading of these delightful papers the Society was entertained at tea by Mrs. Sampson. With an expression of thanks to Mrs. Sampson for her hospitality, the meeting adjourned. 1 ​ See pp. 46-57, post ​ 10 ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST MEETING TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING THE TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY was held on Tuesday evening, January 17, 1933, at the residence of Mrs. Mary I.

  • Jvilliam Hubbard and the Providential Interpretation of History
    JVilliam Hubbard and the Providential Interpretation of History BY KENNETH B. MURDOCK ILLIAM HUBBARD (c. 1621-1704), a member of W the first class to graduate from Harvard, has long been recognized for his work as a colonial historian.* His Narrative of the Troubles with the Indians in New-England, published in 1677, was probably the best history of King Philip's War to be written by a New Englander who lived through it, and, according to Moses Coit Tyler, this book, "for its almost universal diffusion among the people, deserves the name of an American classic."^ Larger in scope, but less praised, is his General History of New- England from the Discovery to MDCLXXX, finished by 1682 but not published (and then imperfectly) until 1815.^ In ' See the Dictionary of American Biography, and J. L. Sibley, Biographical Sketches of Graduates of Harvard University (Cambridge, 1873-), vol. i, pp. 54-62. 'M. C. Tyler, A History of American Literature, 1607-1676 (New York, 1878), vol. 2, p. 135. Hubbard'8 Narrative was reprinted by Samuel G. Drake, as The History of the Indian Wars in New England (Roxbury, 1865). All my references are to this edition. 'The work was printed in 2 Massachusetts Historical Society Collections, vols. 5, 6, 1815, and separately Cambridge, 1815. My references, except as otherwise noted, are to the Cambridge edition. Another and better edition, with revisions and notes, was printed in Boston, 1848. This, like the earlier editions, followed the Massachusetts Historical Soci- ety's manuscript, which was incomplete. It lacked the preface, and some pages at the beginning and end of the text were so mutilated that only a fragmentary reading could be printed.

Tig; list of Brookfield Births, Marriages and Deaths comprised in this volume includes all that were found in the Town Books covering the period from the earliest date there recorded to the end of the year 1849. Some additions have been made from other sources, and these are indicated in each instance by proper reference. All of the records are condensed in print as much as is con- sistent with intelligibility, accuracy, and completeness of infor- mation. Differences in duplicates, and explanatory or other matter which seemed necessary or desirable, appear in brackets. Marriages and intetitions of marriage are printed under the names of both parties, but the full information concerning each person is given only under his or her name. An asterisk after a marriage indicates that the intention is not found recorded, and in many cases this is accounted for by the fact that neither party belonged in Brookfield, and consequently publishment was made elsewhere.

  • Ry Cooder's 'One Meat Ball'
    RY COODER AND ‘ONE MEAT BALL’ Ry Cooder is not just a superb musician and writer: he is also a superb archivist, and a master at finding and resuscitating old songs. He Carl Tighe has done this several times. One of the songs he rediscovered, reinvented and recorded is ‘One Meat Ball’. Ry (Ryland) Cooder was born on 15 March 1947 in Los Angeles, California. He lost an eye at the age of four and is said to have taken up guitar as a kind of compensatory activity. He first attracted attention with his guitar playing when he was working with The Seeds. He went on to play with Taj Mahal’s band The Rising Sons and later with Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. He has played with The Rolling Stones, Little Feat, The Chieftains, John Lee Hooker, Ali Farka Touré and he has written several film scores including the music and soundtrack for Wim Wender’s film Paris Texas (1984). Cooder’s recording career began with the album Ry Cooder (1970), and now includes dust bowl folk music, Tex-Mex, soul, gospel, rock and roll, blues, rag-time, jazz, cross- over and just about everything in between. At a time when the US still has a total embargo on contact and trade with revolutionary communist Cuba, Cooder has been a major force behind the rediscovery of Cuban music and Cuban musicians. Cooder risked his citizenship to visit Cuba and to record the Buena Vista Social Club. He later worked on Wim Wender’s documentary The Buena Vista Social Club (1999), which was nominated for an Academy award.
