Book Description
Excerpt from The Poets and Poetry of Springfield in Massachusetts: From Early Times to the End of the Nineteenth Century No country or community has approached its best estate until it has come to express some of its highest, holiest, tenderest and wittiest thoughts in verse. So it has been with us in this new world. There was first the struggle for life; against human enemies and natural conditions, and with political oppression. Then came plenty, with a broader intellectual life and a freer expression. Not that there was no intellectual life in the Colonial days; but it concerned itself largely with theology and uttered itself in sermons. As for the laity, they read the Bible they had and helped in making another. They discussed and speculated on heavenly things, and an old lady whom Emerson knew in his youth told him that they had to hold on hard on to the huckleberry bushes to keep from being translated. But theological discussions were very apt to be acrimonious, and political differences easily ran into bitterness. Church and party lines were sharp and divisive. In 1808, one party in Springfield celebrated the Fourth down town with a procession and a sermon in the meeting house; the other with a dinner in "the new brick store on Federal Hill." The preceding year the Democrats of this and other towns had observed the day by themselves in Agawam listening to a sermon from a famous admirer of Jefferson, Elder Leland, on the text as quoted, perhaps erroneously in the Hampden Federalist, "Separate the righteous from the vile," the latter of course being the Federalists of the day. Such an atmosphere is not very congenial to the muses; and the newspapers of Springfield, before the settlement of Dr. Peabody over the Church of the Unity in 1820, contain scarcely any verse worth quoting except as illustrative of the manners and temper of the times.

Lost Springfield, Massachusetts
Author: Derek StrahanPublisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439659524
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
At the end of the nineteenth century, the U.S. Armory opened in Springfield, spurring rapid growth. With that golden age of progress came iconic buildings and landmarks that are now lost to time. Railroads brought workers eager to fill Springfield's factories and enterprises like Smith & Wesson, Merriam Webster and Indian Motorcycles. The Massasoit House Hotel, the Church of the Unity and the Daniel B. Wesson mansion once served as symbols of the city's grandeur. Forest Park grew into an upscale residential neighborhood of Victorian mansions. Join local historian Derek Strahan as he returns Springfield to its former glory, examining the people, events and - most importantly - places that helped shape the City of Firsts.
