Excerpt from Stories of Massachusetts To tell all, or even a greater part of the stories of a State so rich in legendary and historical lore as is Massachusetts, would be to write a gazetteer. Therefore we have chosen such as seem likely to be of most interest to children - and this little book is for children - and have omitted the great mass of facts and statistics that cluster about many important growing cities of the State.
