Book excerpt: "Herein, we bring you to sites that have been central to the lives of 'the people' of Greater Boston over four centuries. You'll visit sites associated with the area's indigenous inhabitants and with the individuals and movements who sought to abolish slavery, to end war, challenge militarism, and bring about a more peaceful world, to achieve racial equity, gender justice, and sexual liberation, and to secure the rights of workers. We take you to some well-known sites, but more often to ones far off the well-beaten path of the Freedom Trail, to places in Boston's outlying neighborhoods. We also visit sites in numerous other municipalities that make up the Greater Boston region-from places such as Lawrence, Lowell and Lynn to Concord and Plymouth. The sites to which we do 'travel' include homes given that people's struggles, activism, and organizing sometimes unfold, or are even birthed in many cases in living rooms and kitchens. Trying to capture a place as diverse and dynamic as Boston is highly challenging. (One could say that about any 'big' place.) We thus want to make clear that our goal is not to be comprehensive, or to 'do justice' to the region. Given the constraints of space and time as well as the limitations of knowledge--both our own and what is available in published form--there are many important sites, cities, and towns that we have not included. Thus, in exploring scores of sites across Boston and numerous municipalities, our modest goal is to paint a suggestive portrait of the greater urban area that highlights its long-contested nature. In many ways, we merely scratch the region's surface--or many surfaces--given the multiple layers that any one place embodies. In writing about Greater Boston as a place, we run the risk of suggesting that the city writ-large has some sort of essence. Indeed, the very notion of a particular place assumes intrinsic characteristics and an associated delimited space. After all, how can one distinguish one place from another if it has no uniqueness and is not geographically differentiated? Nonetheless, geographer Doreen Massey insists that we conceive of places as progressive, as flowing over the boundaries of any particular space, time, or society; in other words, we should see places as processual or ever-changing, as unbounded in that they shape and are shaped by other places and forces from without, and as having multiple identities. In exploring Greater Boston from many venues over 400 years, we embrace this approach. That said, we have to reconcile this with the need to delimit Greater Boston--for among other reasons, simply to be in a position to name it and thus distinguish it from elsewhere"--

Download or read book Early New England written by David A. Weir and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of covenant was at the heart of early New England society. In this singular book David Weir explores the origins and development of covenant thought in America by analyzing the town and church documents written and signed by seventeenth-century New Englanders. Unmatched in the breadth of its scope, this study takes into account all of the surviving covenants in all of the New England colonies. Weir's comprehensive survey of seventeenth-century covenants leads to a more complex picture of early New England than what emerges from looking at only a few famous civil covenants like the Mayflower Compact. His work shows covenant theology being transformed into a covenantal vision for society but also reveals the stress and strains on church-state relationships that eventually led to more secularized colonial governments in eighteenth-century New England. He concludes that New England colonial society was much more "English" and much less "American" than has often been thought, and that the New England colonies substantially mirrored religious and social change in Old England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lavishly illustrated look at some of Boston's most historic buildings, now available in a new, updated edition. Winner of the Historic New England Book Prize and a Boston Preservation Alliance Annual Achievement Award. As Boston fast approaches its four-hundredth anniversary, the city's architecture plays an important role in preserving its historic character. This book introduces readers to the city's early history through fifty buildings, which all pre-date 1800. Employing an approachable narrative that will appeal to non-architects and those new to historic preservation, Joseph M. Bagley guides readers through an overview of the historic preservation movement in Boston before explaining the historical significance of these structures, which include homes, churches, warehouses, and restaurants. The book begins with a map of the buildings' locations and organizes entries from the oldest to the most recent. The majority of the properties are located within Boston's downtown area, along the Freedom Trail, and within easy walking distance from the core of the city. While this makes the book an ideal guide for tourists, Boston residents will also discover buildings in the surrounding neighborhoods. Each chapter features a building, a story about its history, and the efforts made to preserve it over time. Fullcolor photos and historical drawings illustrate each structure and area. Boston's Oldest Buildings and Where to Find Them presents the ideals of historic preservation in an easy-to-read manner appropriate for the broadest audience. Perfect for history lovers, architectural enthusiasts, locals, and visitors alike. This new edition features a foreword by Robert Allison, professor of history, language, and global culture at Suffolk University, and includes three new buildings identified by the author as being amongst the oldest in the city, which illustrates the dynamic nature of archaeology.
