Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reasons, Principally of a Public Nature, Against a New Bridge From Charlestown to Boston [n the case of Charles River Bridge, - when the adjustment of the terms of its charter were under consideration, its location at and substitution for the ancient ferr the fact that the road over the Neck, at the Soutfi End, Winnissimet Ferry and Charles town Ferry, were the only frequented passes into Boston - that Charlestown Ferry was the only one on Charles river above Chelsea, - the position of the bridge, in relation to the eastern, northern, and west ern sections of the country; all these circumstances were resent to the minds of the General Court, and or the pro rietors of the bridge, when the char ter was frame For a period of a hundred and sixty years no additional avenues to the capital had been opened; the subject of a bridge from Boston to Charlestown, had been at times discussed more than sixty fyears, but the project as often deemed visionary, rom the depth of the water and the ra pidity of the current. It seems therefore but rea sonable to suppose, that it was fully the expecta tion of the arties that the road, by the Neck, Win nissimmet erry, and Charles river bridge, would continue for an unlimited period to be the only ave nues to Boston, from the interior. In the then state of public information, taken in connexion with the actual condition and prospects of the country, it could hardly, at least, have been conceived by any one, that a competition was likely to arise with Charles river bridge, within a term of fifty or more 'ears. By all the considerations here mentioned, the legislature was most undoubtedl influenced, both in fixing the rate of the tolls and t e duration of the charter; and whether the toll on a carriage should be 8 pence or 12 pence, or the duration of the charter 40 or 100years, were questions which had a direct reference to these points.

Book excerpt: Why and how Boston was transformed by landmaking. Fully one-sixth of Boston is built on made land. Although other waterfront cities also have substantial areas that are built on fill, Boston probably has more than any city in North America. In Gaining Ground historian Nancy Seasholes has given us the first complete account of when, why, and how this land was created.The story of landmaking in Boston is presented geographically; each chapter traces landmaking in a different part of the city from its first permanent settlement to the present. Seasholes introduces findings from recent archaeological investigations in Boston, and relates landmaking to the major historical developments that shaped it. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, landmaking in Boston was spurred by the rapid growth that resulted from the burgeoning China trade. The influx of Irish immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century prompted several large projects to create residential land—not for the Irish, but to keep the taxpaying Yankees from fleeing to the suburbs. Many landmaking projects were undertaken to cover tidal flats that had been polluted by raw sewage discharged directly onto them, removing the "pestilential exhalations" thought to cause illness. Land was also added for port developments, public parks, and transportation facilities, including the largest landmaking project of all, the airport. A separate chapter discusses the technology of landmaking in Boston, explaining the basic method used to make land and the changes in its various components over time. The book is copiously illustrated with maps that show the original shoreline in relation to today's streets, details from historical maps that trace the progress of landmaking, and historical drawings and photographs.
