Duxbury was founded by migrants from the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1632. Justin Winsor's venerable history of Duxbury commences with chapters on the settlement and incorporation of the town; boundaries, roads and landmarks; first settlers; schools and education; and early contact with the Indian population. Subsequent chapters are concerned with lists of 17th-century town officers, Duxbury in the colonial wars, the American Revolution and the War of 1812, and the history of the Congregational Church in Duxbury. Of greatest interest to researchers, over one-third of the volume is devoted to genealogical notes and sketches of more than 200 early families of Duxbury.
It's the mid-fifties in Boston, and the world is slowly changing. Jobs are disappearing, friends have moved on. Life is becoming a struggle. Just when things seem the darkest, one man finds his faith. Heaven's Window is a story of one man's journey from surviving the war in the Pacific to coming home to a life he becomes lost in. Along the way, he finds his best friend, a stray dog he calls Sunshine. The adventures they embark on make their bond unbreakable. He battles the demons of depression, booze, and coming to terms with losing his job, home, and everything he holds dear in his life. Begging takes a toll on his soul, and he struggles to survive as he searches for a connection to God. With Sunshine's help, though, he finds connections to the world around him that give him hope through that struggle, until he finally comes to the day when he can put the fight-all of the fights-behind him for good. All author proceeds will be used to help the homeless.
