Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 24., 1621—tercentenary note—1921. (search)
1621—tercentenary note—1921. As this Register comes to hand a tercentenary pageant is on at Plymouth. Our Historical Society will note a Medford tercentenary in September next— that of first exploration of our territory by white men, an event of which scant notice has been taken in the past. The March of Miles Standish will be the subject of the evening. Beside the original story, several papers relative thereto will be read, and the doughty warrior will be shown at the head of his valorous army. With all the groundwork of a pageant, we must content ourselves with the above observance, but let it be an interesting o
Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 24., Troubles of a Medford churchman. (search)
Troubles of a Medford churchman. In these recent tercentenary days much has been said of the Puritan sacrifice and struggle for religious liberty. Some of the speakers have seemed to forget that there was a difference between the Pilgrims of Plymouth and the Puritans of Boston in their ideas of toleration. The one had been tolerated in Holland, the other would tolerate none dissenting from their views, and early became dominant in New England. How fared it with the Baptists, the Quakers, or those who held to the liturgical worship of the Church of England? In the colony's history what they endured is unpleasant to read. In Medford's history little is written or known. Mr. Brooks made no specific local mention thereof, but Mr. Usher alludes to one case of clash between a Medford churchman and an officer of the law. His story is quoted quite fully by Mr. Hollis, the chronicler of Grace Church (Register, Vol. V, p. 25). Of this case we have never seen any other account in A
Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 24., Another tercentenary note. (search)
Another tercentenary note. A certain interest attaches to the exploration and to settlement of immigrants in a new country. In recent days multitudes have visited Plymouth to see the historic rock where the Pilgrims landed, and to tread ground on which they found a home. An interesting pageant was enacted, with historical lessons that must have made a deep impression on the minds of many of the visitors. And just now as we write, an enduring reminder has been dedicated,—the bronze figure of Massasoit, the Indian king, who regarded his treaty as more than a scrap of paper. We doubt, however, if in all the exercises there was any allusion to an episode that occurred in the Pilgrim adventure and was partly enacted on our own Medford soil. We have seen fit to call it The March of Miles Standish. In 1905 Medford had a festival week in recognition of its two hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of settlement. It was about two years behind time, but a very successful and inte
