[p. 77] have tried to give you a glimpse of the Medford of sixty years ago. If we could find somewhere, in some way, the diary or journal of some Puritan Samuel Pepys, dating say back to the year 1650, recording the story of the building up of the town of Medford,—telling of the people, their ways and manners, their thoughts and experiences,—what would we not give for it!
The lack of such information leaves us in the dark as regards the earliest history of Medford.
We only know that there was a Mr. Davidson who represented Governor Cradock and who was in his interests in this town.
Who his coadjutors and companions were, and what they did— of this we know nothing, and never shall.
They had no reporter.
Medford, MA. 1901.
