Historical Collections (MA), Volume TwoHolmes Ammidown. Softcover, 1996 reprint of this 1874 book, as new, Index, Illus., 598 pages. According to the publisher: This book covers the town histories of Sturbridge, Chariton and Southbridge, MA. Each town's history is discussed from its formation and settlement, up to the time that the book was originally published. The histories of Sturbridge and Chariton include the petition for the town and grant, the origin of the name of the town, a list of manufacturing companies, the schools and churches of the area, and biographical information on some of the predominant members of the community. The history of Southbridge contains all of the above, plus more detailed information about the town including the new roads and highways, the cemetery, a broad list of manufacturing companies, and a history of the churches. Illustrations of key figures, several foldout maps of the towns, and a new surname index, all add to the value of an already helpful book.
