Excerpt from Ye Amherst Girl of Ye Olden Tyme The history of one's own town should be known to each of its citizens, for one cannot appreciate the privileges of the present age without some understanding of the causes which have produced these conditions. Scattered throughout the length and breadth of our land, we meet, here and there, real "Daughters of the Revolution, " whose memories extend backward to the time of the thirteen states, and who have heard from the lips of father and grandfather personal recollections of the war for independence. They tell us of a time when the dispute as to the beginning of the nineteenth century had scarcely been settled, and the Congress of the new country, with Jefferson at its head, was moving from Philadelphia into the wilderness, to a site on the Potomac, selected by Washington, and named by him Federal City. The American navy was just coming into existence, and officers and seamen were performing deeds of daring before Tripoli, which have never been forgotten.
