Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Historical Collections of the Danvers Historical Society, Vol. 1
The committee appointed to prepare the first volume of the Historical Collections of the Society, having finished the task assigned them, present the same to the members for their inspection and approval.
Danvers is a large town territorially, of many villages, with varying interests. Realizing this fact, it has been the aim of your committee to present a variety of subjects, some of which will be found to be of general interest to all of the citizens of our town, and others of Special interest to those residing or who have resided in the different villages of the town. In this way we feel that this volume willbe welcomed in the homes of all our members.
Whatever has happened in the past, no matter how remote or how near, is a matter of history, and this volume will be found to deal, not only with events of years long ago, but with those of recent occurrence.
This Society ever holding in pleasant remembrance its founder and first president, and his work, it seemed fitting to your committee, as a tribute to his memory, that the first article therein should be one from his pen.
