Divided we stand
Watertown, Massachusetts, 1630-1680
by Roger Thompson
"Established in 1630, Watertown was among the original six towns of Massachusetts. Its early history was marked by frequent disputes, a penchant for questioning authority, and an atmosphere of tension and discord. In recounting the story of Watertown's formative years, Roger Thompson examines how the community managed to avoid descending into anarchy.
He also explores the ways in which English settlers preserved their habits of behavior in an new-world environment, even as they were obliged to innovate and embrace change." "Throughout the book, the same themes reappear: continuity and change, the persistent conflicts of the first two generations, and the countervailing forces of communal cohesion."--BOOK JACKET.
