Caring For The Sick Poor: The State Almshouse At Bridgewater, 1854-1887, Lucille O'Connell
Caring For The Sick Poor: The State Almshouse At Bridgewater, 1854-1887, Lucille O'Connell
Bridgewater Review
The number of helpless poor in Massachusetts increased during the period of the 1840s, and the problem was greatly magnified by Irish immigration to the United States. Too large a problem to be solved on the local level, the Board of Commissioners of Alien Passengers recommended, in 1852, that the State establish three almshouses. Accordingly, the institutions were established at Bridgewater, Monson to the west, and Tewksbury to the north of Boston, and were opened in May 1854. By the end of the first year the number of inmates far exceeded expectations.

Cultural Commentary: The American Arts And Crafts Movement (C. 1880-1920), Roger T. Dunn
Bridgewater Review
In the last quarter of the nineteenth century there developed in. Europe and America a new style in the decorative arts known as the Arts and Crafts movement. It rejected the excesses, pretense and formality of Victorian style homes and furnishings. It also found fault with mass-produced objects in which the design and application of machine-made furnishings showed little regard for function, sturdy construction, pleasing proportions, the natural beauty of materials or the skills of hand-craftsmanship.
Who Owns The Night? Vietnam: Personal And Fictional Narratives, Charles F. Angell
Who Owns The Night? Vietnam: Personal And Fictional Narratives, Charles F. Angell
Bridgewater Review
Novels and reminiscences written by Vietnam combat veterans are being published with increasing frequency. Dust jackets and end papers proclaim that each new narrative is for Vietnam what All Quiet on the Western Front was for World War I and The Naked and the Dead or Catch 22 were for World War II. Unfortunately, if it can be said that generals fight current wars using the tactics of earlier wars, so Vietnam War authors structure their narratives using the frameworks of earlier writers. Too many – Winston Groom’s Better Times Than These or Steven Phillips Smith’s American Boys are typical …

Cultural Commentary: Joseph Mccarthy And The Red Scare, David Culver
Cultural Commentary: Joseph Mccarthy And The Red Scare, David Culver
Bridgewater Review
Exactly thirty years ago millions of Americans were fascinated by a day-time TV drama featuring the Republican Senator from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy. The Army-McCarthy hearings, called by one writer, “the greatest political show on earth,” were televised by ABC from April 22 to June 17, 1954. For many it was the first opportunity to see the Senator whose name epitomized militant anti-Communism and who since 1950 had attracted more attention than the President of the United States. Few viewers could know, however, that TV's exposure would help destroy McCarthy’s political career and lead to his censure by the Senate later …
The Timely Humor Of Stephen Leacock, Harold Ridlon
The Timely Humor Of Stephen Leacock, Harold Ridlon
Bridgewater Review
Stephen Leacock, one of the finest humorists of this century deserves reassessment. Born in 1869 in Swansmore, Hampshire, England, and resettled with his family on a farm near Lake Simcoe, Ontario, at age six, he survived the rigors of frontier life in a family of twelve children, all reared by a mother of breeding, hardihood, and humaneness, and deserted by a profligate, Micawber-like but insensitive father. Through his mother's encouragement and meager family endowment, he attended Upper Canada College, a private secondary school in Toronto. Leacock's best known and most widely used text, Elements of Political Science (1906), earned him …
