Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Boston Post Road I have chosen for the subject of this volume the oldest and most northerly of these post roads: that over which the first post-rider went; that which echoed to the war whoop of the savage; that which saw the passage of the soldiers to and from the seat of activities during the French wars; that which beheld the ocking of the minute men upon the Lexington Alarm, or the rallying of the militia to the standard of Gates; that which served several times for the journeys of Washington, and that which later became the pathway of countless thousands of emigrants on their way to the rich valleys of the Mohawk and the Genesee, or to the fertile prairies of the Middle West.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boston: The Place and the People The volumes of biography bearing directly upon Boston history are many. To these and to shorter memoirs of men and women whose lives have been identified with the place, the author is chiefly indebted for whatever flavor of reality his own pages have attained. How many persons and events he has been forced to ignore, or touch but lightly, the reader with the slenderest knowledge of the local records will detect. Others will recognize, as familiar friends, the most bountiful sources of information. The list of them would be long; and the writer must content himself with a special word of acknowledg ment to the text and references of the exhaustive Memorial History of Boston, edited by Justin Winsor, and to the shorter narrative, Boston, by the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge. Finally to Mr. J. P. Quincy and Mr. Edwin M. Bacon, for their valuable com ments upon manuscript and proof, a peculiar debt is due.

Download or read book The Book of Boston written by Edwin M. Bacon and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Boston: Fifty Years' Recollections of the New England Metropolis The intent of this book is to tell the story of Fifty Years Of Boston, the story of the progress and development of the city in the last past half century and of the institutions and men identified with it, through a series of reminiscences rather than in the formal manner of the direct historical narrative. History and biography indeed are woven into the relation, but with lighter thread, though none the less accurate, than in the conventional web. The reminiscent method was adopted because as a resident of Boston for the most part of this eventful half century, as an active journalist from the early eighteen sixties, and a managing or a chief editor of Boston daily newspapers for considerable periods, the editor has seen Boston grow from the interesting but little historic city of fifty years back into the splendid metropolis of light and leading of today; and through his newspaper connections has come in touch directly or indirectly with leaders of the epoch reviewed, merchants, financiers, professional men, politicians, officials of city and state, the master minds of the community that "make the wheels go round." During this time he has seen the rise of many individuals and firms who have left their impress on trade, and commerce and industry; has seen great changes wrought in the physical and spiritual city; the development of great institutions, educational, learned, devoted to the arts and sciences, that have made Boston a treasure house for American scholars and students; and the initiation of public utilities of subsequent country-wide adoption. Although the story of the evolution of all the greater American cities is wonderful and worth the telling, yet certain developments in Boston within the period covered by this work are of particular moment, especially since it was the parent city of the telephone and of the electric subway; and since it was also the first American seaboard city to take advance steps in regard to the systematic development as a port. While this story might well have been told by any trained newspaper man, the editor feels himself particularly fortunate as the narrator in that it has been his personal privilege to come in direct contact with various leading citizens who have had the commanding influence in certain formative periods of the city's comparatively recent growth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boston: Illustrated But while we find such abundant means of judging the people of Boston, hardly a vestige of the town as it appeared to the earliest settlers remains. We have, it is true, in a good state of preservation still, the three most ancient burial-grounds of the town half a dozen very old trees remain about as many buildings. Some of the narrow and crooked streets at the North End have retained their early devious course, but generally appear upon the map under changed names. Nothing else of Boston in its first century is preserved. The face of the country has been completely trans formed. The hills have been cut down, and the flats surrounding the peninsula have been filled so that it is a peninsula no longer. Place side by side a map of Boston as it appeared in 1722, and the latest map, and any resemblance between them can hardly be traced. The old water line has disappeared completely. On the east, the west, and the south, nearly a thousand acres once covered by the tide have been re claimed, and are now covered with streets, dwellings, and warehouses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address to the Citizens of Boston: On the Xviiith of September 1830, the Close of the Second Century From the First Settlement of the City Of all the affections of man, those which connect him with ancestry arc among the most natural and generous. They enlarge the sphere of his interests; multiply his motives to virtue; and give intensity to his sense of duty to generations to come, by the perception of obligation to those which are past. In whatever mode of existence man finds himself, be it savage or civilized, he perceives that he is indebted for the far greater part of his possessions and enjoyments, to events over which he had no control; to individuals, whose names, perhaps, never reached his ear; to sacrifices, in which he never shared; and to sufferings, awakening in his bosom few and very transient sympathies. Cities and empires, not less than individuals, are chiefly indebted for their fortunes to circumstances and influences independent of the labors and wisdom of the passing generation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Topographical Historical Description Boston Putting into Gomera, one of the most westerly of the Canary Islands, on the twelfth of August, for the purpose of repairs and refitting, these vessels sailed for the grand exploration on the sixth day of the next Sep tember. A sufficiently minute detail of the occurrences of this ever-memorable voyage is given by the eloquent and gifted historian of Columbus and his companions, Washington Irving; which being familiar to historical readers precludes the necessity of repeating in this connection any of the interesting particulars of the eventful passage. On the night of the eleventh of October, the eagle eye of the enthusiastic and ever-watchful Columbus dis covered a, small glimmering light, the harbinger of land so much desired; and which, on the morning of the next day, became apparent also to the eyes of the discouraged and almost rebellious voyagers, his com panions on the sea. At break of day, Columbus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
