Before Boston claimed the spotlight, Dorchester was already shaping the story of New England. To walk its early streets through this classic history is to witness a town and a nation being born. The past feels close here. Compiled by the Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society, this definitive Massachusetts local history book traces colonial Dorchester, Massachusetts from seventeenth century settlement through revolution and reform, drawing on colonial New England records, town proceedings and long preserved local traditions. It stands as a landmark New England town history and an essential window onto greater Boston area history and early American settlement history. As a genealogy research reference, it is rich in names, offices, congregations and institutions, making it a trusted local historians reference book and a cornerstone for New England genealogy resources and any serious Massachusetts town histories collection. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Carefully prepared from a respected historical society publication, this enduring chronicle of Dorchester, Massachusetts history, and of colonial Dorchester, Massachusetts in particular, appeals equally to dedicated researchers and to readers and collectors who prize authentic voices from America's formative centuries.
