On a cold frontier morning, a town burned. Memory matters, then and now. In this commemorative historical address, delivered in Springfield, 16 October 1875, Henry Morris revisits the burning of Springfield 1675 during King Philips War 1675 and sets it within the wider sweep of seventeenth century New England. Part town chronicle, part public oration, it offers a sense of colonial Massachusetts frontier life: the anxieties of settlement, the pressures of conflict, and the resolve that shaped a community on the Connecticut River. As a historical pamphlet reprint presented as a complete text edition, it serves both as an accessible narrative for general readers and as a New England history reference for students of place. Read as local drama, it illuminates how communities remembered war, loss, and rebuilding two centuries on, in New England itself still. Morris writes close to local tradition yet attentive to documentary record, making this a valuable window onto Springfield MA settlement history, Puritan New England chronicles, and the distinct voice of nineteenth-century commemoration. Collectors of colonial Massachusetts town histories will appreciate its period perspective; family historians will find it a useful companion for genealogy and local research, pointing to names, institutions, and turning points that still echo in the region. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure, bringing a pivotal episode of early American experience back to the shelf and into the conversation.
