Excerpt from Towns of New England and Old England, Ireland and Scotland, Vol. 1: Connecting Links Between Cities and Towns of New England and Those of the Same Name in England, Ireland and Scotland; Containing Narratives, Descriptions, and Many Views, Some Done From Old PrintsIt is our belief that there are many people who do not know who were the early settlers of the cities or towns, or of other places in the New England States. We think, too, there may be many who do not know how or why these New England communities have been given their present names, and we also believe few people realize the close relationship and the many links between many of our New England cities and towns and the mother cities and towns of the Old Country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
