Brief History of Massachusetts-
Archaeological excavations in Massachusetts reveal that the earliest human beings arrived here more than 10,000 years ago. Archaeologists call these earliest settlers " Paleo-Indians." The descendants of the Paleo-Indians lived in small, mobile groups, hunting, gathering, and fishing. They invented a sophisticated technology which included tools of chipped or ground stone, wooden implements, ceramics, textiles, leather, basketry, dome-shaped houses known as wetus or wigwams, and maneuverable canoes.
In 1497 and 1498 John Cabot carried through explorations upon which England based her original claim to North America. Other occasional landings were made by voyagers seeking a new route to the fabled treasures of the exotic East, and occasionally abortive plans for colonization took vague shape. In 1602 Bartholemew Gosnold explored the bay and christened Cape Cod for the fish that swarmed about it. Twelve years later John Smith wrote of his New England journeys with a fervor that stirred the blood of discontented English farmers. A second enthusiast, William Wood, in 1634 contributed his "New England Prospect" to the growing travel literature of the New World.
The colonizing movement spread rapidly along the coast and then westward; those who were restless and rebellious against the rigid rule of the ministers went out into what are now other New England states, founding towns based upon the Massachusetts pattern. Small-scale farming was the fundamental way of earning a living. The long winters gave leisure for handicraft, and "Yankee ingenuity" first showed itself in the variety of products the farmers turned out to supply their own and their neighbor's needs.
