History

History of the Town of Milford, Massachusetts — Vol. I

In his seventies Ballou turned town historian, producing this monumental history of Milford — the town that had absorbed Hopedale — from first settlement to 1881. Volume I carries the narrative history: settlement, parish and town affairs, industry, war service, and (with unique authority) the Hopedale chapter told by its founder. A model of the great New England town-history genre.
