Spence (1879-1970) and Vina Elizabeth (Spence) Hughes (1907-1991). David R. Spence was born in Ireland, but emigrated to Chicopee, MA in ~1882, and remained until his death in 1970.

A bound copy is held in the History Room of the Chicopee Public Library. In addition to Vina Spence's thesis, the collection consists of materials related to the Chicopee High School classes of 1925 and 1926; a scrapbook of newspaper clippings and letters relating to David Spence's lectures; as well as drafts of lectures and articles, and other material related to his historic interests.

Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context CPL-Spence-089 Title A name given to the resource "A Legend of Mt Tom" Description An account of the resource A 19-leaf booklet, hand-bound with (possibly brass) pronged fasteners (removed for digitization. The booklet is a typed poem, with annotations and corrections in pencil and in ink, as well as one small insert with a note. The covers are the same paper as the inner leaves, and the title is hand-written in ink. The back cover is blank, but a brief note written in ink on the last page dates the poem to June 30, 1905. While the poem refers to a real moment during King Philip's War (the siege of Springfield, MA, in 1675, everything else mentioned is a fictionalized narrative and utilizes racialized tropes and language. [Interestingly, it references a colonist named Patience Worth; while there is no record of her being real, in the 1910s there was a sensation surrounding a woman who claimed to be in contact with a (deceased) Patience Worth via a ouija board, through which Patience dictated novels and poetry.] *Processing note: the insides of both covers are deliberately blank; we refrained from scanning the blank reverse of inner pages to reduce the file size.
