This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

William Franklin Draper was born on April 9, 1842 in Lowell, Massachusetts, United States. He was a grandson of Ira Draper and the eldest son of George and Hannah (Thwing) Draper.
At Hopedale, William attended the Community school until the age of sixteen, after which he worked for three years in various New England mills, thoroughly acquainting himself with the process and machinery of cotton manufacture.
Enlisting in 1861 in a Milford company which later became Company B of the 25th Massachusetts Regiment, Draper was elected second lieutenant and began a war experience which extended over nearly four years of active campaigning.
He was on Burnside’s staff at Roanoke Island, New Bern, and Fort Macon; was commissioned captain in the 36th Massachusetts with which he went through the Antietam campaign and the battle of Fredericksburg; was sent west with the IX Corps in 1863, participating in the suspended after a life of seventy-two years, during which time it had often changed its name.
In May 1768 he entered into a singular arrangement with Green and Russell who published the Boston Post-Boy. Each continued to publish his own paper, the Post-Boy appearing on Mondays and the News-Letter on Thursdays, but a combined paper, the Massachusetts Gazette, appeared in two instalments, one-half with each of the other two. This “Adam and Eve” journal ceased in September 1769 and Draper continued the Massachusetts Gazette and Weekly NewsLetter by himself. Draper acquired a competency and built a substantial brick house on what is now Washington St. , Boston.
