Excerpt from The Official Records of the Centennial Celebration: Bath, Steuben County, New York, June 4, 6, and 7, 1893 The Official Records of the Centennial Celebration of Bath, after some unavoidable delays, are now given to the public. This book does not purport to be a complete history of Bath during the first century of its existence, but merely a contribution of much valuable material toward that history when it shall be written. The papers were prepared by many individuals who wrote without reference to each other, or without any pre-arranged plan. Consequently, it happens that some of the pioneers, who were foremost in building up the town, have been passed over with scant mention, each writer presumably supposing that some other would be sure to select such prominent characters for delineation. This has been especially noticeable in the cases of Dugald Cameron, of the McClures and of Henry A. Townsend. These men passed away so early in the century that their fame is a tradition, even to the members of the older generation now among us. That the Book is an accomplished fact is due to the Rev. Benjamin S. Sanderson, through whose persistence in the meetings of the General Committee, it was finally decided upon, and whose advice and assistance have been extended at every stage of its preparation for the press. The material as selected by Mr. Sanderson, the representative of the General Committee, has been published substantially as it was delivered, with the exception of a few sentences too personal for permanent preservation. The work of the editor has been, mainly, to arrange that the papers should be put in fit typographical form. The frontispiece is a semitone, prepared from a photograph of the portrait of Colonel Charles Williamson, presented to Bath by his grandson, David Robertson Williamson, of Scotland, (vide p.236). The plate of the map of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase was furnished, at the request of Hon. A. J. McCall, by Howard L. Osgood, Esq., Secretary of the Rochester Historical Society.

Listen to a short interview with Joan Shelley RubinHost: Chris Gondek | Producer: Heron & Crane In the years between 1880 and 1950, Americans recited poetry at family gatherings, school assemblies, church services, camp outings, and civic affairs. As they did so, they invested poems--and the figure of the poet--with the beliefs, values, and emotions that they experienced in those settings. Reciting a poem together with others joined the individual to the community in a special and memorable way. In a strikingly original and rich portrait of the uses of verse in America, Joan Shelley Rubin shows how the sites and practices of reciting poetry influenced readers' lives and helped them to find meaning in a poet's words. Emphasizing the cultural circumstances that influenced the production and reception of poets and poetry in this country, Rubin recovers the experiences of ordinary people reading poems in public places. We see the recent immigrant seeking acceptance, the schoolchild eager to be integrated into the class, the mourner sharing grief at a funeral, the grandparent trying to bridge the generation gap--all instances of readers remaking texts to meet social and personal needs. Preserving the moral, romantic, and sentimental legacies of the nineteenth century, the act of reading poems offered cultural continuity, spiritual comfort, and pleasure. Songs of Ourselves is a unique history of literary texts as lived experience. By blurring the boundaries between "high" and "popular" poetry as well as between modern and traditional, it creates a fuller, more democratic way of studying our poetic language and ourselves.
