Excerpt from Colonial Times on Buzzard's Bay

With scanty grace from nature's hand And none from that of art.

The solitude of the situation and its te moteness from English settlements forced them to rely upon their own resources. They wove flax and sheep's wool into mate rials for clothing; they made and shared in use the plows and tools needed in their methods of agriculture; they cut firewood in a common forest and grazed cattle in common pastures; they built Sloops for freighting and fishing, and traded with each other by truck and dicker. Their te cords show that they had no religious big otry, no enmity to Quakers, no belief in witchcraft, no enthusiasm for public schools, no disloyalty to the king.
