Before Norwood, Massachusetts became a town in 1872, hardy settlers from Dedham left security and comfort behind and began building homes along the Neponset River and Hawes Brook. Living in an area still known as the South Parish, these hard-working citizens fought for their values in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. The town encouraged industry and diversity, expanding its primarily agricultural base until the community could boast a stable, if ever changing, economy. Wealthy industrialists and working-class immigrants united to build this New England town and to foster its growth into the Norwood of today: a vital community that residents are proud to call home. Norwood: A History recounts stories of the visionaries produced here, such as Captain Aaron Guild, who "left plough in furrow and oxen standing" to join the April 19, 1775, battle at Lexington. The formation and success of the Civic Association and the hospital were due to the perseverance of the public-spirited population, guided by the charismatic and driven George Willett. Readers will discover how athletics helped put Norwood on the map, from the polo fields of W. Cameron Forbes to the reign of Roll-Land as one of the country's premiere roller-skating arenas. As tales of years gone by give way to progress, Norwood: A History also looks ahead to new enterprises, which have followed in the footsteps of companies such as Winslow Brothers and Smith and the Norwood Press.

Located on the Neponset River in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, the town of Norwood has a colorful and surprisingly wide-ranging past. In this series of twelve essays, local historian Patricia Fanning, town resident and author of a number of books about the area, brings to life the various and sundry individuals and events that have shaped it, in preparation for the celebration of its official 150th anniversary in 2022. Covering the three centuries from the town's founding in the 18th century as the village of South Dedham and then following through the challenges of immigration and industrialization in the 19th century to the political turmoil of the 20th century, these lively and well-researched essays will encourage readers to reexamine old assumptions, reaffirm well-established truths, and gain new perspectives. In these pages, you will discover the colonial-era Reverend Thomas Balch, the tale of Aaron Guild, and how a local character was memorialized by E.E. Cummings and Ezra Pound. The Civil War era is well represented by a sampling of touching veterans' stories, followed by the chronicle of the arrival of Irish, Scandinavian and Lithuanian immigrants into town, and how the town's physical layout was influenced by several well-known designers and architects. Local historian and journalist Win Everett plays a role, as does McCarthyism and its influence on the local library. The struggles and victories of early residents of color are told in some detail, as is the town's reaction to the 1918 flu epidemic. Written in a familiar and thoroughly engaging style, the vignettes related in this book will work their charm on anyone interested in the history of Norwood and its people. This is a 6" x 9" paperback book with 3 1/2" French flaps.

Of the many brass bands that have flourished in Britain and Ireland over the last 200 years very few have documented records covering their history.

Over 19,600 bands are recorded here, with some 10,600 additional cross references for alternative or previous names.

Jewish Life In Small Town America written by Lee Shai Weissbach and has been published by Yale University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008-10-01 with History categories.

In this book, Lee Shai Weissbach offers the first comprehensive portrait of small-town Jewish life in America. Exploring the history of communities of 100 to 1000 Jews, the book focuses on the years from the mid-nineteenth century to World War II. Weissbach examines the dynamics of 490 communities across the United States and reveals that smaller Jewish centers were not simply miniature versions of larger communities but were instead alternative kinds of communities in many respects. The book investigates topics ranging from migration patterns to occupational choices, from Jewish education and marriage strategies to congregational organization. The story of smaller Jewish communities attests to the richness and complexity of American Jewish history and also serves to remind us of the diversity of small-town society in times past.
