Deerfield?
[edit]For an article this comprehensive, I'm surprised there is no mention here of Dedham's distinctive role in the founding of Deerfield, Massachusetts. Magic♪piano 00:57, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
This article cites a work of fiction as fact
[edit]A canoe trip up the Charles River, including a clever quip by someone named "Miles," is cited as fact. The source is a 1903 book by Abbott, Katharine M., "Old Paths And Legends Of New England." The canoe trip is a "legend," as the title of the book implies. "Miles and "Moore" are fictional characters.
The article also omits several important steps in the process by which the early settlers of Dedham obtained a land grant of unparalleled size.

Not the 'first' man-made canal by a long shot!
[edit]The fourth paragraph in the first section names the Mother Brook as "the first man-made canal in America." This might be true if it were changed to "in Colonial America." But, as it stands, it is a false statement. The earliest man-made canals in America found thus far were at the Las Capas site, near Tucson, which features an irrigation system dating to 1200 BCE. That predates Mother Brook by over 2800 years.
