History of Worcester County, MassachusettsIn presenting the within History to the people of Worcester County the Publishers desire to state that when the preparation of the work had been finally decided upon, an earnest effort was made to secure the leading literary talent of this section of the Commonwealth to prepare the manuscript. The result was a gratifying success. Those most familiar with the historic literature of the County were engaged, whose names appear at the head of their respective chapter's. These gentlemen approached the task with a spirit of impartiality and with a determination to prepare a work which should reflect credit alike upon the County, its citizens and themselves, and the Publishers feel that no effort has been spared either by Publishers or writers to faithfully present the history of the territory embodied herein, from its Indian occupancy to the present proud position it occupies among the counties of the Commonwealth.
