Excerpt from Leading Manufacturers and Merchants of Eastern Massachusetts: Historical and Descriptive Review of the Industrial Enterprises of Bristol, Plymouth, Norfolk, and Middlesex Counties For nearly two years almost every part of New England was a scene of bloodshed. Though the Indians killed many white people, their own loss was much greater - ih fact, they never recovered from the many reverses which they experienced. Though ten times as numerous as the white people, their power in New Engl ind was finally overthrown. Philip's death Soon brought the war to a close. He was found in a swamp near Mount Hope, with severalother Indians. Captain Church, with a few white men, surrounded the swamp at night. When the morning came, Philip, perceiving that he could not escape, rushed toward the spot where some of the white men lay. An English soldier leveled his gun, but it missed fire. An Indian, who was of the party, took deliberate aim and shot the chief through the heart. Thus fell the most celebrated of all the Indian chiefs. From this time the Indians, finding further resistance vain, began to submit to the English. The struggle was continued for a time in Maine. But that soon ended, and no general effort was ever after made, on the part of the Indians, to subdue the English. This war lasted for three years - from 1675 to 1678. About six hundred white men were killed in the struggle, thirteen towns were destroyed, and six hundred dwelling-houses burned. These were dreadful losses to the poor colonists, but the unhappy Indians suffered still more. Their chiefs and their principal men were nearly all killed; their wigwams were burned; they were driven from their homes; and now, defeated and subdued, their situation was one which may well excite our pity. From that period the Indians rapidly diminished. Most of the tribes are now extinct, and a. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Leading Manufacturers and Merchants of Central and Western Massachusetts: Historical and Descriptive Review of the Industrial Enterprises of Worcester, Hampden, Hampshire, Berkshire, and Franklin Counties As a record of the manufacturing and mercantile industries in the principal cities and towns of the five counties covered by the following reviews, we confidently believe it will not only accomplish much toward their encouragement, but will also bring to the attention of many thousands of business men in other and remote parts of the Union grate ful and interesting information respecting the manufactures and general trade that flourish here. If there are qualities for which these people are distinctively noted above others, they consist in the pluck, energy, and ingenuity they have exercised in conquering honorable place, name, and good fortune for themselves, commercially and socially. It is workers of this sort that have rolled it onward to its present position. The avenues opened by the inventor, the manufacturer, the merchant, have been often indeed beset by obstacles, but these have been obliged to give way to innumerable utilities of inestimable worth and value. What though personal benefit may have been in the vast majority of instances the incentive of their endeavor? Their activity, their enterprise, their persistence, their courage have wrought the manufacturing and commercial successes illustrated and described in the following pages. The data given in them have been drawn from the most authentic sources, have been carefully collated and intelligently revised, and the utmost care has been exercised in Order that the information herein given may be relied upon as accurate. The reader will observe that while the largest and practically leading enterprises in the general lines of business are treated at some considerable length, many smaller and less prominent concerns are also reviewed for the simple reason that each one of the latter in its own way and in its own special department has contributed its share to the general prosperity and wealth of the various commodities mentioned. As intimated above, the circulation of this work will not be limited to those portions of Massachusetts of which it treats. It will reach to distant sections of the country, and many volumes will traverse the ocean and enter foreign manufacturing and mercantile houses, imparting to their proprietors a fund of information that cannot but prove novel and interesting.

Jerry Williams' history of Azorean immigration to the United States offers us valuable insight into the experience and culture of Portuguese immigrants and their descendents. This account fills a major gap in American immigration history and gives us a comprehensive overview of how Portuguese-Americans--now numbering close to a million people--have come to constitute a vibrant and highly visible presence within southeastern New England, the areas around San Francisco and San Diego, Hawaii, and the New Jersey/New York metropolitan area. Even though Azorean immigrants all came from similar cultural and social backgrounds, Williams shows how regionally specific opportunity structures and social hierarchies have contributed to significant differences within the Portuguese-American experience. Starting with the whaling routes that first connected the mid-Atlantic archipelago with the ports of call in New England and California in the early 1800s, Williams lays out the complex relationship between the Azores and the US that has continued into the present. We learn how particular patterns of poverty, overpopulation and social inequality in the Azores pushed large numbers of the islands' inhabitants to leave their homes in search of better opportunities for themselves and their children. He tells the story of how the early whalers who jumped ship in New Bedford, San Francisco, or Hawaii were followed by kin and fellow villagers who had heard of plentiful jobs in New England's textile mills, gold and land in California, or agricultural work on Hawaiian plantations. Williams' account allows us to understand the importance of family and community connections throughout the immigrants' arduous transition from peasant life to industrial society.
