- The Longmeadow Centennial Storrs, R.S.
The Centennial Celebration of the town of Longmeadow, Hampden
county Massachusetts. The town was settled in 1644 and incorporated
in 1783. This is one of the lovliest town histories I have had
the pleasure to read. Not filled with the usual facts and figures
it has story after story of the people who helped make Longmeadow
Mass. Some amusing such as the Daupin Williams, some sorrowful
as we read of a civil war hero's trip home as his father keeps
his promise of burying his son at home were he belongs, not in
a long forgotten battlefield amidst the hundreds of unknowns.
The story from Issac Coomes Civil war diary which written in the
1800's amuses fans of The Band of Brothers of this century as
he runs past the rebel enemy to meet up with his regiment to the
bewilderment of all the onlookers, that not one shot was fired.
A truly wonderful celebration of this town, a shared home for
centuries to most of my ancestors living on both sides of the
Connecticut river. A nicely done genealogical record of Longmeadow
families of 100 pages is included, since published in New England
Hisorical Society. 1884. Hardcover silk cloth embossed in gilt
letters,321 pgs 22 Illustrations. Good ex-library. Listed for
reference and research only.
