Excerpt from History of the First Church in Roxbury, Massachusetts: 1630 1904 In the arrangement of material each of the five meeting houses erected on or near the site of the present one has been given a chapter. The authorities will be found in the adjoin ing list. From these, extensive quotations have been made, and as far as possible the records tell the story. The early records of the town, school, and church are very imperfect; in Eliot's petition to the General Court, June 29, 1669, for a renewal of the school charter, he says, Our first book and charter were burned in ye burning of John J ohn son's house But from 1652 the records are in a tolerably good condition, although the events are not always recorded in sequence. Rev. Amos Adams notes in reference to the church records, Inasmuch as some things worthy of notice are not as I find mentioned in this Book and others yt are, are mentioned in divers places scattered up and down, I have thot proper here to insert ye following articles, follow ing ye Revd. Mr. Eliot and Danforth's annals of events. The Opening words are, The First Church in Roxbury was gathered July This is the only evidence on the church records of the gathering of the church, and as no copy of the covenant can be found, it was probably burned in John Johnson's house.

A rich and illuminating biography of America’s forgotten Founding Father, the patriot physician and major general who fomented rebellion and died heroically at the battle of Bunker Hill on the brink of revolution Little has been known of one of the most important figures in early American history, Dr. Joseph Warren, an architect of the colonial rebellion, and a man who might have led the country as Washington or Jefferson did had he not been martyred at Bunker Hill in 1775. Warren was involved in almost every major insurrectionary act in the Boston area for a decade, from the Stamp Act protests to the Boston Massacre to the Boston Tea Party, and his incendiary writings included the famous Suffolk Resolves, which helped unite the colonies against Britain and inspired the Declaration of Independence. Yet after his death, his life and legend faded, leaving his contemporaries to rise to fame in his place and obscuring his essential role in bringing America to independence. Christian Di Spigna’s definitive new biography of Warren is a loving work of historical excavation, the product of two decades of research and scores of newly unearthed primary-source documents that have given us this forgotten Founding Father anew. Following Warren from his farming childhood and years at Harvard through his professional success and political radicalization to his role in sparking the rebellion, Di Spigna’s thoughtful, judicious retelling not only restores Warren to his rightful place in the pantheon of Revolutionary greats, it deepens our understanding of the nation’s dramatic beginnings.
