Around Pottequadic
by Donald Duffy
$22.00
Around Pottequadic is a recently released book. Its focus is upon the Quaboag Indians in their full tribal area and the later Scots-Irish settlement in Palmer, Ware, and West Warren, Massachusetts. The book also reports on settlement in the Shaw District, a school district in the northeast section of Palmer and to its north in Ware.
In historic times the Quaboag Indians lived in villages in the Brookfields, Brimfield, and Sturbridge. After some fortunate research findings in the Massachusetts
Archives and elsewhere, it was found that the Quaboag Indians held tribal lands ranging from Palmer and Monson northerly to Petersham and from Mt. Wachusett westward to Pelham. There is a discussion of some of their sites along the Ware River.
The later Scots-Irish settled in eastern Ware, Palmer, and West Warren on land promoted for sale by land speculators from Roxbury. Unfortunately, the land the Scots Irish began to farm did not belong to the Roxbury group as the group presented. After settlement, the Scots-Irish found they had no title to their land.
The Shaw School District contained roads first set out by the Elbow Plantation to connect to Brookfield, the gateway to the east. The community in the Shaw District grew for a short time and then slowly began to decline. The people found their way to more attractive farming to their west or to more profitable employment in the newly established mills.
The author is Donald Duffy from Palmer, Massachusetts, former Teacher of Music in the Ware Public Schools.
His book is available through the Ware Historical Society, 413-967-6882, and on Amazon.com for $22.00.
Its ISBN number is ISBN-13: 978-1-4635-9737-5
