MOUNTAIN HOME NATIVITY. CHAPTER I. IN New England, Berkshire county, Massachusetts, there is a town of the name of Stockbridge, which has been noted for a long time as the shrine of the pilgrim and the theme of the poet. This lovely village was incorporated as far back as 1739, and doubtless took its name from the celebrated town of Stockbridge in "OLD ENGLAND," which it is said by travelers to resemble in a striking manner. I am indebted to a curious and authentic little work, by the late Miss E. F. Jones, called "Stockbridge, Past and Present," for the following historic facts and minute description of the mountain home nativity, or birth-place of the hero of this unostentatious little volume. |
