Willard Genealogy: Sequel to Willard Memoir (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Willard Genealogy: Sequel to Willard Memoir He wrote very fully and entered into many details, making a book which will always be a treasure to the descendants and to the general students Of Colonial History. The present work, though a sequel to the Memoir, has been constructed upon a different scale; it aims to give a view Of the family at large, keeping in due proportion the several branches and individuals Of the family, in the common fashion Of approved genealogies. It has been necessary to condense and even to omit much that has been found in order to bring the work into the limits Of a Single volume; but every effort has been made to give the best items and in the fairest manner, so as to make the work a delight and pride to the greatest number. It is much larger than we estimated. Several esteemed families are omitted because the connection Of their lines with the stock Of Simon and George could not be substantiated; and many individual records are impossible to place. These are given in the Appendix. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Reference

Salish Blankets presents a new perspective on Salish weaving through technical and anthropological lenses. Worn as ceremonial robes, the blankets are complex objects said to preexist in the supernatural realm and made manifest in the natural world through ancestral guidance. The blankets are protective garments that at times of great life changes—birth, marriage, death—offer emotional strength and mental focus. A blanket can help establish the owner’s standing in the community and demonstrate a weaver’s technical expertise and artistic vision. The object, the maker, the wearer, and the community are bound and transformed through the creation and use of the blanket. Drawing on first-person accounts of Salish community members, object analysis, and earlier ethnographic sources, the authors offer a wide-ranging material culture study of Coast Salish lifeways. Salish Blankets explores the design, color/pigmentation, meaning, materials, and process of weaving and examines its historical and cultural contexts.

Excerpt from Willard Memoir: Or, Life and Times of Major Simon Willard; With Notices of Three Generations of His Descendants, and Two Collateral Branches in the United States; Also, Some Account of the Name and Family in Europe From an Early DayThis work was prepared several years ago, without any definite purpose of publication. Having been urged to publish, I consented so far as to issue a "Circular," addressed to the descendants of Major Simon Willard, and caused it to be very extensively distributed throughout the country, from north to south, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, wherever I knew any of the family to reside. The response was feeble; so much so, that I was about abandoning the project, when a subscription somewhat enlarged, and the pressing request of two or three gentlemen, whose united contribution nearly equalled that of all the other subscribers, induced me to yield my scruples, and consent to publish.On looking over my manuscript, I found it well to make a thorough revision, and collate all my principal references. This, together with the correction of the press, has occupied just about every moment of leisure from compulsory duties for the last eight months. I make this remark by way of explanation to the subscribers, to assure them that no time has been lost through want of diligence on my part.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
