Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular History of Boston Some ten years ago the writer of this volume came to Boston, a stranger, for the purpose of reading in the Public Library and obtaining work as a journalist. Becoming deeply interested in works of local history, especially in those of Drake, and being unacquainted with society, he resolved to visit all the old historic places in and about Boston, in hours needed for exercise, and to study their associations. About a year ago the publishers asked him to prepare a young people's history of Boston, and to seek to make it popular and entertaining, after the methods of the Zig zag books. It was a pleasure to attempt this work, as it revived the memories of the solitary walks ten years ago, and brought into use the material then collected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Siege of Boston In writing this book I have endeavored to produce a brief and readable account of the Siege of Boston, and of the events which brought it about. These were, of course, parts of a larger history, the connection with which I have carefully indicated. My main endeavor, nevertheless, has been to treat my subject as a single organic series of events. To select the more interesting and significant masses of detail, and properly to coordinate them, has not been an easy task. The minor incidents were conditioned by the scale of the book; the result, I hope, is fluency and a more evident connection between the larger events. So far as possible, I have relied upon contemporary statements. But no writer on the Siege can fail to acknowledge his deep obligations to the "History of the Siege" by Richard Frothingham.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Antique Views of Ye Towne of Boston No city in the United States gathers within its limits more matter of national historic import than the city of Boston. There is not a foot of its original territory (we say original from the fact that more than two thirds of its present territory is made ground), but what is associated with our country's struggle for liberty or the trials and privations of its early settlers. To the antiquary it presents an inexhaustible store of surprises and a veritable mine of pleasure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Boston Classic Reprint written by Henry Cabot Lodge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boston The original authorities on which I have relied in writing this brief history of Boston, are enumerated in Chapter XII. Of my Short History of the English Col ouies in America, published in 1881, from which I have ventured to borrow two passages for the chapter in this volume on Boston in the Provincial period. In addition to the sources used before, I have now been able to draw also upon Sewall's Diary, which has been printed since 1881, and which is the most im portant contemporary authority on Colonial Massachu setts. My largest debt, however, and it is one which I desire to acknowledge in the fullest manner, is to the Memorial History of Boston, each chapter of which was written by a specialist, and the whole edited with the utmost thoroughness and research by Mr. Justin Winsor. I wish also to take this oppor tunity to thank my friend Mr. Brander Matthews for many kind suggestions, and for the interest he has shown in the preparation of this volume.

Download or read book Boston and Its Story 1630 1915 Classic Reprint written by Edward Mussey Hartwell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boston and Its Story, 1630-1915 Boston has been an important place for more than two hundred and fifty years. Its history is intimately bound up with that of Massachusetts, of which it is the capital, and of New England, of which it has long been the metropolis. It has suffered many vicissitudes and undergone striking transformations in respect to territory and topography, as well as the form of its government, but from the beginning it has been a seed-plot and nursery of advanced political and social ideas and experiments. The purpose of these pages is twofold: (1) to furnish a clue to the history of Boston as an individual community that, owing to the force of circumstances and the spirit of its people, has played a conspicuous and influential part in the larger development of Massachusetts, of New England and of the nation; and (2) to indicate the nature of the events that gave historical significance to memorable sites and objects that have survived the ravages of time and still excite interest and veneration. So it is not a history that we present to our readers, but rather a relation or narrative concerning the development of "a poor country village" into a great city of vast and varied interests and of commanding rank. It is not our purpose to attempt to recount with fulness of detail all or even most of the deeds of which Bostonians are proud, or to pass judgment upon men or measures involved in controversial questions as to morals or politics that once seemed of vital moment and are still capable of arousing warm discussion. Such matters are better left to technical historians and partisan pamphleteers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High Lights of Boston Upon certain localities and numerous events of historic Boston is focused the light of public interest, giving character and individuality to the city. Prominent among the high lights of Boston is Beacon Hill. The early history of the city first centered about this ancient landmark, and beneath the gilded dome of its State House is history still being made. On its southerly slope dwelt Boston's first settler, the Rev. William Blaxton (Blackstone), frequently referred to as the "Hermit of Shawmut." It is believed that he came over in 1623 with Robert Gerges, and this cultured, eccentric young Cambridge graduate, with his pale, thoughtful face, was a recluse by nature. For about five years he lived in undistrubed solitude in his thatched-roofed hut near the foot of Beacon Hill, with his rose garden, his apple orchard, his spring of sparkling water, and his brindled bull, on which he used to gallop long the crooked paths which later became the streets of Boston.

What a sad pity that the only obstacle aris ing, in after years, when the tender passion exists and overwhelms its deluded victims so early in life, is the manifest difficulty of remembering and ascertaining the idolized object of the first dream, ' and that the scent of the roses, instead of embalming the fair vision, should be lost in oblivion.
