    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Black framed announcement of the &quot;Arrangement for the Grand and Solemn Funeral Procession which is to take place on the 26th of May inst. 1808, at interment of the remains of eleven thousand five hundred American Seamen, Soldiers and Citizens, who suffered martyrdom on board the Jersey and other British prison ships, in the harbor of New York, during the American Revolution....&quot; According to Bob Randal, Military Historian and Vice President of the Historical Society, in the early days of the Revolutionary War the American militia comprised very untrained, ordinary men from the age of 16 to 60 who were, if not killed by the British, taken prisoners. Because there were so few British soldiers taken prisoner there was little hope of an exchange of prisoners. These 11,500 men were put on a ship hulk in the harbor of New York City. They were there until they died a horrible death of either freezing, of hunger, thirst, or heat. Some years after this brutality in the Revolutionary War there was a funeral procession for their remains. These men were unknown.  <br />

Foreword: &#039;This volume is a continuation of the work in Volume II (see 2007a-001, 2007a-003) and a personal invitation to my readers to journey on with me through the rural sections of Eastern Massachusetts during the 19th century and meet the Old New England Yankees as they worked, played and struggled with their crude, home made implements and iron will to forge this rugged and beloved section of Massachusetts into what it is today.  It was my desire to pass on to others the pleasures I found in searching old records, attic paper piles, family traditions or anything pertaining to our past which has made these volumes and &#039;Steeles Tiny Old New England&#039; possible.  My debt of gratitude to friends, acquaintances and even strangers grows daily as they unsparingly contribute time and material to my efforts and again I wish to express my deep appreciation.&#039;     Chapters: New England Shoemaker; Hilltown Peddlars of the Nineteenth Century; Livery Stables; The Good Old Days; Housecleaning in Grandmother&#039;s Time; Cummington&#039;s Masonic Hall; Blacksmith Shops; Circuit Riders; Donation Parties; The Country Doctor; Sports and Recreation; Going to a Magic Lantern Show.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Salmon colored, soft-cover book, stapled together, Vol. IV, May 1963, Published by: The Progressive Club, Windsor, Mass, 500 copies, $1.50, first printing.   Foreword: &#039;This volume is just another continuation of the work in the fore-going volumes (see 2007a-001, 2007a-002) and represents my hope of throwing more light on the ways, customs, joys and hardships of Rural New England of the past.  I am neither scholar nor historian, but the fascinating tales from older generations that came to me in my childhood, together with the bits I&#039;ve uncovered while searching attics for miniature articles and the generous and ever increasing supplies of information garnered from friends, acquaintances and even strangers have encoouraged me to continue this work which so enchants me.&#039;    Chapters: Country Stores; Seeing Boston for the First Time; Celebrating the Fourth; Going for the Cows; Cider Making; Poultry Raising of the Past; Christmas as I Remember It; Farming as Grandpa Did It; Advertising; Grandma&#039;s Shadow-Box.]]></dcterms:description>
