Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Walpole, Mass: From Earliest Times, With Illustrations
Every town, like every individual, has both character and history. Be it good or bad, some one is interested in it; some one is vitally bound fast to it, either for weal or woe. This grows wider and stronger with a town's age and influence. Our etown', though; fast forgetting its ancient traditions andisturdy virtues} from its great age, alone, deserves the unselfish errts of some one of its many children in its preservation and perpetuation. The older the town, the more difficult and meager its earliest history becomes. The following pages, mostly appearing from time to time during the past forty years of my life, in my contributions to newspaper, magazine, and public audiences, I now for the first time in book form oer to my native, though somewhat unworthy town, as a trib ute to my departed co-workers of the old First Walpole Historical Society, of which I am now the only surviving.
