To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sixty- seven years of prosperous existence as an independent civil division were brought to a close in 1874, when the town was annexed to Boston. Although in the early years grants of land were made to any persons desirous of settling withm the limits of "Little Cambridge," as it was then called, the early growth of the settlement was slow. Among the pioneers to seek homes in the little colony were Champney and Sparhawk, Richard Dana, John Jackson, Samuel Holly, William Redfern, Ran- dolph Bush... and William Clements. Here the Nonantum tribe of Indians lived on friendly terms with the first white settlers. Here, at what is now Oak square, beneath the spreading branches of the "Old Oak" as a canopy, the Apostle Eliot preached to the Nonantum Sachem Waban and his assembled braves. It may be interesting to know that the first bridge across the Charles river was built in 1662 to connect Brighton and Cambridge. The cost of maintaining the structure was eventually borne in part by the towns of Newton, Brighton, Cambridge and Lexington.
