The maker of the Pageant has therefore chosen those episodes which have been decid- ed turning points in the history and development of the town. tj Aside from its educational value and the stimulating of local pride in past achievement it is believed by those who have the Pageant in charge that it will strengthen community spirit, reveal artistic resources and turn thought naturally from the past to the future and encourage the development of higher, better ideals.

(a). THE. INDIANS AT NAUMKEAG, THE INDIAN NAME OF SALEM. The Indians who occupied the land which is now Salem, had been a prosperous tribe, but at the coming of the first settlers their number was so small that they were not considered of much importance, in the times of war, with more powerful bands. They lived peacefully in their small "towne of wigwams" on the banks of the river, and welcomed the newcomers as a source of protection from their much-feared enemies. PAET I. EARLY COLONIAL DAYS. IN 1626 THE INDIANS WELCOME THE ADVENT OF THE ENG- LISH, ROGER CONANT AND FOLLOWERS. Conant came to Naumkeag from a settlement on Cape Ann. With him came John Woodbury, John Balch, Peter Palfrey, Richard Norman and son, Walter Allen and William Knight. The Rev. Mr. White of Dorchester, England, who was in- terested in the formation of a colony at Naumkeag, urged Conant not to desert the place, promising to send other col- onists and provisions from England. John Woodbury soon after went to England to secure the Embroideries JENNY BROOKS COMPANY 1 CAMBRIDGE STREET, SALEM Patterns for Cross -Stitch, 1913 Alphabets for Cross - Stitch rY y,_ __!___ is the Handmaid of present-day His- gi dpi iy tory> She will mirror to future gener- ations the people, places and incidents of today.

These first settlers were called the Old Planters. 1628. ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP ABIGAIL WITH Gov. ENDICOTT AND FIFTY ENGLISH SETTLERS. After nearly two years had passed, the men who were with Eoger Conant became despondent and reproached Conant for his unwillingness to allow them to go to the Virginia colonies or to return to England. Fortunately, at this point the Ship Abigail arrived from England, according to the promises made by Mr. White of Dor- chester, and John Endicott, who had been appointed Governor of the Massachusetts Plantation, came with his wife and about fifty other persons and were eagerly welcomed by the Puritans at Naumkeag. INTERLUDE. ENTRANCE OF SALEM, CITY OF PEACE. (Symbolism.) Salem was so named by Rev. Francis Higginson upon his arrival in 1629. "In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle." Psalms LXXVI, 2. THE FORMING OF THE FIRST CHURCH. To secure the primary object of their emigration, the people of Salem immediately took measures for the establishment of a church. Samuel Skelton and Francis Higginson, non- conforming members of the Church of England, arrived in Salem in 1629. A covenant was drawn up and subscribed to by thirty persons, thus forming a new communion known as the First Church, and ordained Samuel Skelton as minister and Francis Higginson as teacher.

ROGER WILLIAMS, MINISTER OF THE FIRST CHURCH, BAN- ISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT. In February, 1631, Roger Williams arrived in Boston, and almost immediately made himself obnoxious to the government on account of his religious opinions. In spite of this the Salem church invited him to come there and succeed Higginson as their teacher. He remained with them a short time, then went to Plymouth, where he stayed two years. Then again being asked to return to Salem as an assistant to Mr. Skelton, he did so and worked with him in great harmony until Mr. Skelton'a death in 1634, when he became sole minister. Again the opposition of the magistrates was renewed, and he was finally ordered to depart from this jurisdiction within six weeks. On account of poor health he was given permis- sion to remain until spring, but as he continued with his teachings it was determined to send him direct to England. Capt. Underbill was sent to apprehend him, but Williams had gone, where they could not learn. PERSECUTION OF THE QUAKERS. Although the founders of Salem came there for religious freedom, they were unwilling to grant it to others. The Quakers were cruelly persecuted, being sold into slavery and banished. SALEM DELUDED BY WITCHCRAFT. WITCHCRAFT UNVEILED AND DRIVEN OUT. (Symbolism). It is impossible, in a few lines, to give an adequate account of the Witchcraft Delusion in Salem Village in 1692. That New England town was, in fact, a great moral battleground where the powers of Light wrestled with those of Darkness, where a death blow was dealt to Error and Superstition, Reason and Humanity winning a final and glorious triumph. 10 Pageant of Salem Hodgson, Kennard & Co., Inc.

THE COMING OF Gov. GAGE TO HOLD COURT IN SALEM. INTERLUDE. TERPSICHORE, THE SPIRIT OF THE DANCE. (Symbolism). THE BALL IN HONOR OF Gov. GAGE. The year 1774 in Salem was crowded with historical and memorable incidents. On the 13th of May Gen. Thomas Gage arrived in Boston, as Governor, and on the 25th the General Court met at Boston, and a week later adjourned to meet in Salem on the 7th of June. Here he was received with great ceremony and a brilliant ball was given in his honor at the old Assembly Hall on Cambridge Street. The old-time dances introduced at the ball will be the Minuet, Pavan and Contra Dance. THE LAST ASSEMBLY. DELEGATES ELECTED TO THE CON- GRESS AT PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 17, 1774. THE FIRST PROVINCIAL CONGRESS. Among other resolves passed at this Assembly was one appointing delegates to the Congress at Philadelphia, the purpose of this Congress being to consult upon measures for the restoration of harmony between Great Britain and the Colonies. This displeased Gov. Gage and he sent the Sec- retary of the Province, Thomas Flucker, to the town house with a proclamation to dissolve the General Court. A mes- senger was on guard, and in accordance with orders given him by the House, refused to admit the Secretary who there- upon read his papers on the stairs. This was the last Gen- eral Court held in Massachusetts under a Provincial Governor. Subsequently the Governor called a general court, to be held in Salem, October 5th, but before that day arrived 12 Pageant of Salem AMERICA'S GREATEST Cleaners Dyers Launderers Salem Shop 187 ESSEX STREET Telephone 1800 Executive Offices 286 BOYLSTON STREET BOSTON ' You Can Rely on Lewandos '' Compliments of a Friend ALFRED AUDET Contractor 24 NEW DERBY STREET, - SALEM UPTON & FRISBEE OLD WITCH HOUSE PERRIN, SEAMANS & CO.

Nevertheless, two-thirds of the number appeared. Among them were John Hancock, Robert Treat Paine, and Benjamin Lincoln. Though not expecting the appearance of the Governor, they waited with respect and moderation all of the first day. Then they organized with John Hancock chair- man, and Benjamin Lincoln clerk. The following day they passed resolutions renouncing the authority of Parliament and resolved the Assembly into a Provincial Congress, and adjourned to meet at Concord the following Thursday. LESLIE'S KETREAT THE CALL TO ASMS. The winter of 1774-5 found the relations between England and the Colonies becoming more strained. Military stores had been seized in various places by the British troops, and on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 26, word went out that a de- tachment of soldiers under Col. Leslie had landed at Marble- head and were marching to Salem to take possession of some cannon which were said to be stored in North Fields. The troops arrived at the North Bridge to find the draw up and a large number of the inhabitants assembled, pastors having dismissed their congregations to go to the scene. There was some parley and a scuffle between some of the soldiers and citizens, in which one of the latter was wounded by a bayo- net, and this was the first blood shed in the Revolution, although the wound was not a mortal one. When a bloody conflict seemed inevitable Rev. Thomas Barnard of the North Church, arrived, and by his arguments and mediation Col. Leslie agreed on a compromise. The draw was lowered, the troops marched over the bridge and then marched back, thereby "saving their pride and honor." Then they pro- ceeded to Marblehead and thence to Boston. Without doubt, much bloodshed was averted by the eloquence of Parson Barnard and by the moderation and reason of Col. Leslie. 14 Pageant of Salem MME.

On the 19th of April word came of the Battle of Lexington and as soon as possible, Col. Pickering, with a body of troops, hastened to the scene. The air, or music of the tune played on the fife and drum when Col. Pickering's regiment marched to Lexington, has been preserved by the Pickering family and will be used on this occasion. INTERLUDE. THE FORMATION OF THE FLAG. ENTRANCE OF THE SPIRIT OF COMMERCE. (Symbolism). PAET III. COMMERCIAL DAYS. DEPARTURE OF MERCHANTMEN FOR FOREIGN PORTS BEARING FLAG OF THE UNION. RETURN OF MERCHANTMEN BRINGING TREASURES TO SALEM. Salem, in 1750, was the principal seaport of the Massachu- setts Province. The harbor was good and the sturdy men who settled here were possessed of the most unflagging energy and dauntless courage. A century ago the commercial spirit of Salem was at its height. Its ships were known in every port, wonderful cargoes came in and fortunes were made. "Salem led the way from New England round the Cape of Good Hope to the Isle of France and India and China. Her vessels were the first from this country to display the Ameri- can flag and open trade with St. Petersburg and Zanzibar and Sumatra; with Calcutta and Bombay; with Batavia and Arabia; with Madagascar and Australia." 16 Pageant of Salem PLAZA Is a NEW GAME for ADULTS and is for any season of the year.

The name of Nathaniel Hawthorne is indissolubly con- nected with Salem, and his birthplace and the houses in which he lived and wrote his masterpieces of the languages, are Meccas for travellers and lovers of his hooks. He was born on Union Street in 1804, made Salem his home at intervals, and was Surveyor of the Port in 1846-9. His books which had Salem for a setting are "The Scarlet Letter", founded on facts alleged to have been taken from manuscripts found in the Custom House, "The House of Seven Gables", "Dr. Grim- shawe's Secret", and some of the "Twice Told Tales." THE CLOSE OF THE CIVIL WAR. ENTRANCE OF THE GRAND ARMY. In the fever and excitement of the patriotism which filled the country at the call of President Lincoln for 75,000 troops, Massachusetts was the first to respond, and in the fol- lowing years Salem did more than her share. At home the women did their part, picking lint, making bandages, knitting socks and mittens, packing barrels of clothing and food for the soldiers in the hospitals and at the front, and keeping the homes for those who returned, many of them wounded and enfeebled for the remainder of their lives. FINALE. SALEM OF TODAY REVIEWS THE PAST AND LOOKS FORWARD TO THE IDEAL SALEM. (Symbolism). Special attention has been given to the music of the Pageant with reference to beauty and fitness, and the Salem motif is the music of the hymn "Federal Street." This was composed by Henry K. Oliver in 1831, at the age of thirty-one years, 18 Pageant of Salem Compliments of a Friend BOSTON Telephone 2625 Back Bay WALSH Importer and Designer of Millinery and Gowns 276 BOYLSTON STREET, BOSTON ANDREW SCHLEHUBER Baker, Caterer, Confectioner All Kindt ./ Catirint m First-Clan Stjli.

At first he wanted to name the hymn for his wife, but her name not being quite adaptable for it, he decided to name it for the street in Salem on which was the house where she was reared, wooed, won and married. A poem has been composed for this tune which will be printed in the official program. The audience is requested to joint in the sins- ing. The Symbolism will take place on the hill at the right of th Pageant green. THE PAGEANT HEADQUARTERS. A convenient headquarters for the Pageant has been se- cured at 114 Washington Street, where circulars, booklets and stationery of the Pageant may be secured. Here also will be on exhibition a diagram of the Pageant grounds. Automobiles will start from the center of the city on the afternoons and evenings of the performances to convey people to the grounds, and barges will run from the car-line to Kernwood.
