Westfield And Its Historic Influences, 1669-1919: The Life Of An Early Town is a historical book written by John Hoyt Lockwood in 1922. The book provides a comprehensive account of the history of Westfield, a small town in western Massachusetts, from its founding in 1669 to the end of World War I in 1919. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific period of Westfield's history. Lockwood begins by describing the town's early years as a frontier settlement, and then goes on to discuss its growth and development during the colonial and Revolutionary War periods. He also examines Westfield's role in the Industrial Revolution, including its transformation from an agricultural community to a manufacturing center.Throughout the book, Lockwood explores the many historic influences that shaped Westfield's development, including its location along major transportation routes, its early Puritan settlers, and its involvement in the abolitionist movement. He also highlights the contributions of notable residents, such as the Reverend Edward Taylor, a prominent colonial poet, and William G. Bates, a Civil War hero.Overall, Westfield And Its Historic Influences, 1669-1919: The Life Of An Early Town is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Westfield or the early history of New England. Lockwood's detailed and well-researched account provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, and offers valuable insights into the forces that shaped this small but significant town.With A Survey Of Events In New England And Bordering Regions To Which It Was Related In Colonial And Revolutionary Times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
