Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings in Lynn, Massachusetts, June 17, 1879: Being the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Settlement
The most interesting celebration, perhaps, in more than one respect, that. Ever took place in Lynn, occurred on Tuesday, June 17, 1879. It was the celebration of the Two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the commencement of the settlement, and an occasion well calculated to inspire a lively interest in the story of the past, and a grateful appreciation of the blessings that have attended almost every step of our municipal progress an occasion on which it was natural for the mind to revert to the shadowy days when the red man roamed as lord of the Soil; to the days when the first glimmerings of civilization began to warm and vivify, and so on, to this our day of wonderful attainment in all that marks the upward progress of our race.
