Beautifully illustrated, this collection of essays will introduce the reader to a rich, surprising, thought-provoking, and entirely new view of early New England. Eleven essays written by historians, archaeologists, art and architectural historians, and literary scholars recast our understanding of New England by setting its material and visual culture in new contexts. Essays on the archaeology of seventeenth-century Maine settlements, the geographical knowledge of Salem sailors and ship captains, the mid-eighteenth-century cartographic depictions of Boston, and the built environment of Maine in the early nineteenth century all place New England into the broader purview of a transoceanic movement of people, ideas, and objects.

This book is a very special look at the life and work of a unique New England photographer whose technical interests and artistic eye captured plain facts and fine beauty in his photographic compositions. Some of his photography reveals an interest in current events that caused him to be the occassional photojournalist. His early work as an instructor of photography and art previews his fine skill in composing his plates. This is the first book of Coolidge's photography ever produced. The collection of 200 photographs in this book portrays Woods Hole, Massachusetts, the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, as well as the surrounding coastal area of the Elizabeth Islands and villages along Buzzards Bay. It also includes historic scenes of Boston, the North Shore, mills along the Merrimack River, a coastal village in Maine, a rural town in New Hampshire and many maritime scenes. Each plate has been printed by the duotone process to give a near approximation of the sepia tones used by Coolidge in his original prints.--Book jacket.

Our people had thrived here on the so-called New England Tableland since the first sunrise. But in the 1830s, squatters began invading the region with their plagues of livestock. Colonization plunged Aboriginal society into utter chaos, driving us off our lands and decimating the traditional way of life. The traumas of the early colonial period remain carved deeply into the country and its people. But because of our ancestors' struggles, their fierce resistance, their unyielding determination to survive, we are still here. Clouded by the great conspiracy of silence, the dominant myth of peaceful settlement, and the proliferation of Eurocentric narratives touting the achievements of explorers and pastoral pioneers, our people's remarkable history of resistance and survival during the first few decades of the occupation has faded into obscurity. It is their story which this book sets out to reclaim, co-opting the colonial archive and subverting the colonial narrative, deconstructing their story in order to uncover our own.

New England is a land of evocative grandeur, defined by its remarkably varied terrain, history, culture, and renowned weather. This book binds these diverse elements together, highlighting the region's spectacular four season climate. As seen in over 380 gorgeous color photos – from the lofty summit of New Hampshire's Mount Washington to the legendary Green Monster of Boston's Fenway Park and from the dreamy shores of Maine's Acadia National Park to the leafy Litchfield Hills of Connecticut – the four seasons of New England are explored from both well known and out of the way locales within this famed six state corner of the northeastern United States. Whether it is reveling in the glory of a setting summer sun over a Cape Cod beach or stepping out of the moment with a lighted Christmas celebration in Quincy Market, New England and its distinctive seasonal changes captured here will stir the imagination. By the time you are done, you will understand why this is known as one of the world's most beautiful regions.

Writers often depict Thomas Jefferson as a narrow-minded defender of states' rights and Virginia's interests, despite his authorship of the Declaration of Independence and vigorous defense of the young republic's sovereignty. Some historians claim he was particularly hostile to the New England states, whose Federalist electorate he regarded as enemies of his Democratic-Republican Party. This study of Jefferson's lifelong relationship with New England reveals him to be a consistent nationalist and friend of the region, from his first visit to Boston in 1784 to his recruiting of Massachusetts scholars to teach at the University of Virginia. His nationalist point of view is most evident where some historians claim to see it least: in his opinions of the people and politics of New England. He admired New Englanders' Revolutionary patriotism, especially that of his friend John Adams, and considered their direct democracy and town-meeting traditions a model for the rest of the Union.
