DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Historical Sketches of Brookline, Mass The sketches of which this volume is composed, do not claim to be an exhaustive Town History, but are prin cipally a series of articles written under the title of Brookline as it was, and published in the Brookline Transcript, during the years 1871 - 2. They are chiefly descriptive of the oldest streets and houses, with biograph ical sketches of some interesting persons, and local aneo dotes and events. These papers have lately been care fully revised and corrected by the author, who has added new matter, including a chapter on Brookline in the late war. She has been largely indebted for material, to the writings of Rev. Dr. Pierce (whose biography is con tained in this work), to old family records and legal doc uments, and to verbal information from old inhabitants of the town. Deacon Thomas Griggs, Benjamin B. Davis, Esq., the late Dr. S. A. Shurtleff, George Craft, Esq., A. W. Goddard, Esq., the late Otis Withington, the Misses Heath, and many others, have contributed valuable information. The various publications of the New England Historic Genealogical Society have been frequently consulted, as also the genealogical works of Bond, Savage, and others.

Then and for seventy-five years the territory of the present Brookline was included in that of the larger place. In 1686 when the inhabitants of Muddy River, as the locality was then known, needed a school of their own they were given exemption from the Boston town rates and per mission to choose their own officers. This partial separation did not long satisfy the ambitious young com munity, and in 1700 an agitation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Guide to the Local History of Brookline, Mass The following Guide to the Study of Brookline History was originally undertaken by the History Committee of the Education Society in response to a request from the teachers of the third primary grade. As the work developed, however, the attempt to limit its scope to the needs of any particular grade was abandoned, and the resolution formed to make it simply a suggestive outline and bibliography which, on the one hand, might serve as a basis of study for all grades, from the primary to the high school, while on the other hand, it depended for its value chiefly upon the ability of the teacher to expand it and to adapt it to the needs of her particular pupils.
