Cambridge History of American Literature: volume 3 (ed. Trent, William Peterfield, 1862-1939., Erskine, John, 1879-1951., Sherman, Stuart Pratt, 1881-1926., Van Doren, Carl, 1885-1950.), Book III (continued) (search)
the South. The Diaries of Moravian missionaries (Brothers Schnell, Gottschalk, and Spangenberg), who visited the frontier settlements, travelling mostly on foot, from Western Pennsylvania, to the Valley of Virginia, and through trackless wastes to the western settlements of North Carolina, thence to the coast, in 1743-1748, are a wonderful record of modest courage and splendid sacrifice. Dark in colouring is the picture drawn by Gottlieb Mittelberger in his Reise nach Pennsylvanien im Jahr 1750 und Ruckreise 1754, in which the misfortunes of immigrants on the sea and their slavery on land is painted with terrifying realism. More judicial is Achenwall in his Anmerkungen über Nordamerika (1769), or J. D. Schopf in his Reise durch einige der mittlern und sudlichen vereinigten Staaten . . . in den Jahren 1783 und 1784. Very interesting are the letters of Hessian soldiers, who fought for the English king, found in Eelking, Schlozer's Briefwechsel, and elsewhere, See Bibliography. or

was raised he returned to Cambridge and was allowed to live in his residence on condition that he would not interfere with politics, although he was obliged to give up his position as councillor. He remained here until his death, in 1802. Next in order is the Fayerweather house also on the right-hand side of the street, between the Nichols house and Faverweather street, long the residence of William Wells who kept there a well-known school for boys. This structure, built between 1740 and 1750, was first occupied by George Ruggles, who after the trouble with the mother country began, sold the estate in 1774 to Thomas Fayerweather. This house was used as a hospital for the wounded soldiers. In one of the old records we read: August 21, 1775, a sergeant, corporal, and nine men to mount guard to-morrow morning at Mr. Fayerweather's house lately converted into a hospital. The house is now owned by Mr. Newell and is in most excellent preservation, a fine, stately and hospitable man

rly draw forth the said Records into a Book, and present the same to the County Court, when finished: and that the Treasurer of the County do allow him for the same. County Court Rec., III. 173. The first Court House of which we have any definite knowledge, was erected, about 1708, in Harvard Square, nearly in front of the present Lyceum Hall. This Court House stood where the Market House was erected more than a century later. Its position is indicated on a pen and ink plan drawn about 1750, and here reproduced by permission of its owner, Henry Wheatland, M. D., of Salem. The Court House (called Town-house on the plan) stood further south than is here represented,—its northerly end being several feet south of the southerly front of the meeting-house. It appears by the Proprietors' Records that at a meeting of the Proprietors of Cambridge, orderly convened, the 26 day of January 1707-8,—Voted, That the land where Mr. John Bunker's shop now stands, with so much more as will be su
