Synopsis
Excerpt from The Medford Historical Register, Vol. 33: 1930
I have tried to make Medford live again as patriot souls stirred her into action, for Medford knew Governor Win thrap, Paul Revere, and General Washington. She had, too, her own patriot sons and daughters who contributed to the upbuilding' of the. Commonwealth and the republic. From their day the colonial town by rapid growth through these later years has become a large city in which still stand sentinels of the olden times, cherished in a living present.
Into Medford, as if with the flood of the tide, have poured the men and wealth of lands across the sea. In her three hundred years of existence Medford has created a new world from the old, and as the ebb tide of her river returns to the sea, so she has given again to the world her men and her wealth in grateful appreciation.
I am indebted to many, among others to Miss Helen T. Wilde and Mr. Moses W. Mann, accurate. Historians of the city, to Mrs. Leo R. Lewis, who has composed the music of the choruses, to Mrs. Shepherd Brooks, who made her estate the pageant ground, to Mr. Leslie A. Carey, Director of the Pageant, whose dramatic experience has enriched the text and who has shown the. Finest spirit of co-operation, and to all the various committees and the cast who have made the production possible.
