Rich biographical sketches of the original grantees are woven into the narrative, offering vivid glimpses into the lives and motivations of the town's founders. The book explores the challenges and triumphs of the early colonists as they built their homes, established a government, and navigated conflicts with Native American neighbors.

Excerpt from The History of Concord, Massachusetts, Vol. 1: Colonial Concord

Its early connection with the American Revolution; its association with the life and works of Emerson, Haw thorne, Thoreau and other distinguished authors; and its having-formerly been the County Seat of old Middlesex all contribute to make the place notable.

It is thronged annually with thousands of Visitors, some mere Sightseers, some seeking inspiration from the shrines visited, some to say they have been to Concord.

The History of Concord written by Lemuel Shattuck and published in 1835, is not now easily obtainable. Only a few copies, if any, of the work of Charles H. Walcott, Esq., remain unsold; and the historical sketches of Rev. Grindall Reynolds, D. D., and the Hon. John S. Keyes were written for the Histories of Middlesex County, which are too bulky and expensive for common use. Besides these standard works, nothing that we are aware of has been published of the town's consecutive annals, except occasional pamphlets and addresses. Because of these things we believe an available History may be desirable, and by the preparation of these pages we have sought to supply it.

The work is designed to be in two volumes; the first entitled Colonial Concord: the second, Provincial Concord.

Volume I includes the annals of the town from its origin in 163 5, untill 1692, at which time the Massachusetts Bay Colony became a Province, together with brief biographical sketches of the original grantees.

Volume II. Will include the annals from 1692 through the Provincial period to the close of the Revolutionary war.

Volume I is divided into two parts. The first contains the story of the settlement setting forth the leading facts in the town's history, so far as known, to the year 1655.
