Powow river to the present day. This has been no easy or hasty task, but has required patient labor for long years. For a quarter of a century we have been slowly but steadily pursuing this work. The town records and documents, which have been in our custody for nearly forty years, have been carefully examined, and many private papers, diaries, account books and documents of various kinds. The old Norfolk county records, also, have been thoroughly examined, affording much valuable information. The work is not an enticing novel, (although some of it is stranger than fiction )but a simple narrative of events as they occurred. Those pioneers are allowed to speak for themselves in their own peculiar language, thus illustrating the early days of the town better than modern language could do. We have endeavored to give a truthful version of all subjects treated; but, should errors be found, we can truly say that they were not intentional. A map of the location of the town at East Salisbury in 1639 is given to show the regularity and system with which the colonists set about their work. To the many friends who, by the loan of documents, books, diaries and records of various kinds have kindly aided in the work, we tender sincere thanks. The interest which they manifested has afforded the encouragement which was greatly needed. Our thanks are especially due to John G. Whittier, Rev. P. S. Boyd and Dr. H. G. Leslie, the committee chosen by the town to examine the manuscript,(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
