The Coast Guard's deepest roots run through Massachusetts, the ancestral home to three of the five predecessor agencies that make up the service today. The Coast Guard formed in 1915 and since that time has served the citizens of the Bay State at lifeboat stations, air stations, lighthouses, LORAN stations, and radio stations, as well as on lightships and cutters of all sizes. They have protected the Massachusetts coastline during numerous wars, performing some of the most dramatic rescues in American history—from the Pendleton to the Argo Merchant to the Etrusco and more. The story of the Coast Guard in Massachusetts is one of heroism, honor, respect, and devotion to duty.

Methuen is located in the Merrimack Valley in northeastern Massachusetts. Thirty miles north of Boston, Methuen grew out of the Spicket Falls community during the 1800s as the Industrial Revolution arrived in this agricultural community. During this century, the town’s wealthiest families, the Searles, the Tenneys, and the Nevins, brought both economic and cultural growth by building numerous mills, churches, schools, and museums in the area. The citizens, immigrants, and Yankees alike formed the backbone and built the character of Methuen that can still be seen today. Methuen brings together many never-before-seen photographs dating from the earliest days of photography to the 1960s. The history of the town is the story of its people, from the farmers and mill workers to the millionaires and their descendants. Their stories are intertwined with the images of the changing landscape of Methuen, including landmarks, storefronts, schools, and houses of worship. Some can still be seen today, while others exist only in memories.

Located in the heart of the historic Blackstone Valley, Millbury has long played a central role in America’s industrial and cultural history. The town’s early history was shaped by the Nipmuc people. In the 18th century, farmers pushing west found Millbury’s hills and waterways perfect for farms and small industries. The opening of the Blackstone Canal in 1828 allowed Millbury to market its wares to the nation. The Waters family produced guns in Armory Village, and Asa Waters II built his stately mansion downtown. Millbury inventors had a hand in perfecting the lathe, thermometer, and telegraph. By 1910, Millbury was an industrial powerhouse, producing shuttles for the weaving industry, woolen goods, and the finest chisels and machine tools in America. The mills, boasting over a century of innovation and experience, drew investors and workers eager for a share of the American dream.

Architecture is defined as the design of structures for various uses, but the passion of the designers and builders makes it much more than that. Milton Architecture shows the unique views of the town’s style from its earliest days. Known as Unquety by the Neponset Tribe of Indians, Milton was founded in 1640, and was incorporated in 1662. During the town’s first century, the architecture was post-Medieval or First Period construction. Describing the town in 1839 for his Historical Collections of Every Town in Massachusetts, John Warner Barber said, “Milton is adorned with some pleasant country seats, and contains at the two falls [Lower Mills and Mattapan], and at the bridge where the Neponset meets the tide, manufactories of cotton, paper. . .” Today, Milton’s architecture is represented by a wide spectrum of styles from the earliest houses in town, the Capen House (c. 1655) and the Tucker House (c. 1670), to the Daniel Vose House (known today as the Suffolk Resolves House) and the Isaiah Rogers-designed Captain Robert Bennet Forbes House. Each of the architectural styles is the reflection of an architect’s or a builder’s idea of adaptations of period designs. Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and numerous Victorian styles are just a few that can be viewed in Milton Architecture.

The history of North Adams is a portrait of survival and a celebration of diversity, which is not only expressed in its citizens and their ancestry but also in the many faces that the city and its environment have taken on through the years. From the isolated military outpost that fought a dramatic battle in the mid-1700s, through the roller-coaster ride of prosperity and economic depression endured by its citizens, North Adams exemplifies the strength that is a trademark of New England. North Adams contains an unusual collection of rare photographs that celebrate every aspect of the city. The book exemplifies how the population is a mosaic of cultures that sought a better life and wove an atmosphere of acceptance and sharing. An important part of that better life included the industry that made indelible imprints on the nation's history by producing pig iron for the Civil War's famous Monitor ironclad, by the engineering feat of the Hoosac Tunnel, and by leading the nation in the manufacture of fabrics, shoes, and electric capacitors. The diverse architecture that dominates hillside church steeples, the long gone Victorian depot station, the devastating floods, the majestic hot-air balloons, and the everyday faces of citizens are all captured here in striking photographs. Together they create the story of a city that always found a way to survive.

In 1632, after climbing up the face of a boulder near present-day Waltham and facing west toward Neipnett, Gov. John Winthrop sighted Wachusett Mountain rising against the setting sun. However, the idea of a town did not take hold until 1742, when the first settler, Joshua Wilder, arrived from Lancaster and established a tavern. By the mid-1800s, magnificent hotels and guesthouses dotted Princeton's landscape. Princeton and Wachusett Mountain shows the early days of tourism when visitors from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia rode stagecoaches to relax in the shade, play croquet on the common, and breathe country air. The village of East Princeton, meanwhile, flourished differently-chair factories used a fast-moving stream to run machines, and farmers worked the fields. Village life was simple and focused on family and the earth.
