Book Description
About 1628 the first Pilgrims moved north along Plymouth Bay to settle Duxbury. For nearly two centuries, Duxbury grew until, in the 19th century, the town burgeoned with shipyards, producing hundreds of huge sailing vessels. All this Mrs. Wentworth traces in "Settlement and Growth." She locates the historic sites, Indian trails, tells curious tales of the early days, and describes shipbuilding in Duxbury. This revised edition contains an index as well as an afterword by Katherine Pillsbury, the current Town Historian. The book is hardcover, with 57 illustrations including many remarkable photographs of 19th century Duxbury.
About The Author
Thirty three years as Town Historian, over fifty years citizen of Duxbury, Dorothy Wentworth lived history. Mrs. Wentworth, who passed away in 1998, was proud to be living on a section of the original Myles Standish farm. She delighted in researching Duxbury's past and knew almost by heart how each of the Pilgrim families spread out and divided. Of this fascinating lore she gave generously to her readers.
