Book excerpt: A breakaway bestseller since its first printing, All Souls takes us deep into Michael Patrick MacDonald's Southie, the proudly insular neighborhood with the highest concentration of white poverty in America. Rocked by Whitey Bulger's crime schemes and busing riots, MacDonald's Southie is populated by sharply hewn characters like his Ma, a miniskirted, accordion-playing single mother who endures the deaths of four of her eleven children. Nearly suffocated by his grief and his community's code of silence, MacDonald tells his family story here with gritty but moving honesty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Until 2004 and the publication of ""A Short History of Boston,"" there was no good short history of the city of Boston, not in print anyway.

His book includes a wealth of illustrations, a lengthy chronology of the key events in four centuries of Boston history, and twenty short profiles of exceptional Bostonians, from founder John Winthrop to heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan, from ""heretic"" Anne Hutchinson to Russian-American author Mary Antin. Says the Provincetown Arts, ""A first-rate short history of the city, lavishly illustrated, lovingly written, and instantly the best book of its kind."" "

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated History of South Boston: Issued in Conjunction With and Under Auspices of the South Boston Citizens' Association, Comprising an Historic Record and Pictorial Description of the District, Past and Present From the counties of Devon, Dorset, and Somerset in England, came in 1630 a sturdy set of people to seek their future home on this side of the Atlantic. Long preparation had been made for this voyage, and after many discouragements, incidental to a journey of this kind in those early years of the history of this continent, their hopes were at last partly gratified, when they set sail on the 20th of March in the ship "Mary and John." They were nearly sixty days on the deep. The coast of Massachusetts came to view on May 29, 1630. By an agreement with the captain of the above vessel, their place of landing was to be on the banks of the Charles River, but doubtless, for some good reason, they touched the soil of the new country at Nantasket point. Three days after this, in coming up the old harbor, they sighted the peninsula, now known as South Boston, and pronounced it a good place for the pasturage of cattle. They erected, however, their tents and cabins in the locality now known as Dorchester, formerly called Mattapan, and recognized the adjoining peninsula as Mattapannock. Had Dorchester bay answered the commercial interests of these early settlers, there is good reason to believe, that Shawmut, the former name of Boston would never have superseded the other advantages of Dorchester. Soon after their arrival at this spot, not a few removed to the locality of Boston. Dorchester likewise owes a debt to South Boston, for it was the attractive pasturage of the latter, that induced these adventurers from the old country to make their first landing spot in this locality. They undoubtedly would soon have abandoned it, had not the advantages of the peninsular district appealed to them strongly in this direction. These settlers toiled bard and long to make the rough places habitable. Trees were felled, soil was broken, and the Indians took unkindly to their appearance. Their hardships were increased by unfordable tidewater rivers and wet meadows. Everything appeared to be against them. The lesson of their endurance looms up before us, as a precious legacy of their bravery, and their determination to succeed. When threatened with hunger, Captain Clap tells us, "When I could have meal and water and salt boiled together, it was so good, who could wish better? And it was not accounted a strange thing in these days to drink water, and to eat Samp or Hominy without Butter or Milk. Indeed it would have been a strange thing to see a piece of roast beef, mutton, or veal, though it was not long before there was roast goat." In 1631 there was not a loaf of bread in anybody's house but the governor's. But there was no despair. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
