Excerpt from Stories of Massachusetts To tell all, or even a greater part of the stories of a State so rich in legendary and historical lore as is Massachusetts, would be to write a gazetteer. Therefore we have chosen such as seem likely to be of most interest to children - and this little book is for children - and have omitted the great mass of facts and statistics that cluster about many important growing cities of the State. It is with pleasure that we make mention of our indebtedness to Mrs. Margaret Preston, for her courtesy in allowing us to include "The First Thanksgiving Day, " and "The Boys Redoubt, " in our stories of the Commonwealth, and we would also make due acknowledgement for certain illustrations, kindly loaned by the Old Colony Railroad.
