Excerpt from Harmony Grove Cemetery, Salem, Mass The organization of Horticultural and kindred associa tions in New England, (the older ones date their origin some thirty or forty years or more since), awakened and have continued to exert a great influence in nurturing a taste for the pleasures of rural life, and in directing attention to a more refined culture and to the embellish ment of our country residences with a happy combination of trees, shrubs, lawns and gardens; thus adding a new and very agreeable feature to our scenery and con tributing much to the amenities of our New England home. The influence of these associations would natur rlly direct the minds of the people to bestow a corres ponding care in the selection of places to deposit the remains of dear and beloved friends, and to cover the graves with verdure and to adorn them with flowers, appropriate emblems of pure and holy feelings.

Excerpt from An Address, Delivered at the Consecration of the Harmony Grove Cemetery, in Salem, June 14, 1840 IT was with unfeigned reluctance, my friends, as some of you well know, that I accepted the honor of taking the part assigned to me on this occasion, not from any want of interest in the noble object which has called us together, but because I felt too deeply interested in its success to be satisfied with any thing which I could in this way do to promote it. Yet, if others better qualified for the task would not be persuaded to undertake it, I could not persist in refusing the little service which it might be in my power to render, and which was claimed of me by those, who, from their own exertions in this cause, had a right to command it. You will expect from me nothing more than a few plain and sober thoughts, the design of which will be to illustrate the im portance of the object before us, and to commend it, if possible, still more to your affections and your patronage.

From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating new history of Salem, Massachusetts, showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.
