New England colonists, Wood argues, brought with them a cultural predisposition toward dispersed settlements within agricultural spaces called "towns" and "villages." Rarely compact in form, these communities did, however, encourage individual landholding. By the early nineteenth century, town centers, where meetinghouses stood, began to develop into the center villages we recognize today. Just as rural New England began its economic decline, Wood shows, romantics associated these proto-urban places with idealized colonial village communities as the source of both village form and commercial success.

Pulitzer Prize Winner: “A meticulous and remarkably detailed account of the early government and social organization of the town of Sudbury, Massachusetts.” —Time In addition to drawing on local records from Sudbury, Massachusetts, the author of this classic work, which won the Pulitzer Prize in History, traced the town’s early families back to England to create an outstanding portrait of a colonial settlement in the seventeenth century. He looks at the various individuals who formed this new society; how institutions and government took shape; what changed—or didn’t—in the movement from the Old World to the New; and how those from different local cultures adjusted, adapted, competed, and cooperated to plant the seeds of what would become, in the century to follow, a commonwealth of the United States of America. “An important and interesting book . . . to the student of institutions, even to the sociologist, as well as to the historian.” —The New England Quarterly

The church steeple was one of the first art forms to be cultivated in this new land, becoming one of early Americas principal artistic achievements. The backstory of this distinctive art form is a fascinating one. The "Yankees," a homogenous group emerged in New England in the early 18th century. Their artistic abilities in design are also prevalent in silverwork and furniture craft, however it was in their steeples that they excelled and in which they were best expressed. In The Steeples of Old New England, Kirk Shivell traces both the history of these steeples and the Yankee society that built them, including many examples and anecdotes, covering the period between 1701 through 1860. This book provides a wealth of information students of history, architecture, and religion, or anyone else interested in reading about or visiting these historical landmarks. These magnificent edifices rose up everywhere on the newly settled New England landscape; the earliest built only a half-century before the American Revolution, and the last, built right before the Civil War. There are over 115 exquisitely beautiful illustrations, some full color, and others taken from documents of the period. A comprehensive directory and bibliography are also included.

Excerpt from An Old New England Town: Sketches of Life, Scenery, Character The old New England town has peculiar interest for us. It has taken a conspicuous part in the development of our social life and political institutions. And there are few towns that have achieved a more honorable distinction than Fairfield. Mindful of this fact, the Daughters of the American Revolution who constitute the Eunice Dennie Burr Chapter invited the writer of the following papers to give a course of lectures upon the old New England town which was especially dear to them. He was pleased to accept this courteous invitation, for his love of Fairfield was deep and strong, and he appreciated the fact that the town had made large and notable contributions to the life of the Colony and the Republic.
