A Gazetteer of the State of Massachusetts (9999 words) |
 | The State of Massachusetts is distinguished for its local scenery, its liberal institutions, and the enterprise and intelligence of its inhabitants. |
| The bowlders which cover the surface of the State were deposited in the glacial period, marks of which may be distinctly traced in the scratching of the ledges from the shore of the ocean to the summit of the mountains. |
| In the early settlement of the State, the people were greatly annoyed by the depredations of the fl and brown bear and the wolf, which ranged the deep forests, and often came by night to prey upon the cattle in the clearings. |
