History of Stoneham, Massachusetts

Where is Stoneham, Massachusetts? William H. Stevens answers this question by having readers imagine they are standing with their backs facing the ocean, gazing out at "the murky lines of Wachusett and Mt. Monadnock [that] would have traced their formation to the western horizon." Surveying Stoneham in 1620, some 3 to 4 miles off in the distance, is the habitation of Nanepashemit, the chief of the Pawtuckett, along with individuals of the Naamkeek and Agawome tribes. Yet "prior to 1632 there is no evidence that any portion of Stoneham had been visited by a European", says Stevens, in his History of Stoneham, Massachusetts, with Biographical Sketches of many of its Pioneers and Prominent Men .
