Download or read book Gaining Ground written by Nancy S. Seasholes and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Download or read book Walking Tours of Boston s Made Land written by Nancy S. Seasholes and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2006-09-18 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Boston's past and present: 12 walks that trace the creation of the city's man-made land in the central waterfront, Back Bay, South End, Charlestown, and elsewhere. At its founding, Boston was a small peninsula; over the last 375 years the city has doubled in size by filling in the surrounding tidal flats—areas covered with water at high tide and exposed at low. In Walking Tours of Boston's Made Land, historian Nancy Seasholes outlines twelve walks that trace where and why Boston's man-made land was created, and, along the way, uncovers fascinating and little-known pieces of Boston history. In the course of these walks—around the central waterfront, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the South End, Charlestown, and elsewhere—she shows us how Boston's past is always just below the surface of its present. Each walk is accompanied by a map that shows the route and original shoreline. The walks are illustrated with historical maps, historical photographs and views, and current photographs. All walks are accessible by public transportation.

Download or read book Walks and Talks About Boston Classic Reprint written by Edward J. O'brien and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walks and Talks About Boston Strangers have difficulty in finding their way about Boston on account of the irregularity of its streets. It will help if it is borne in mind that Boston, like New York, was formerly a peninsula and that Washington Street traverses it lengthwise as Broadway does New York. The North Station, which is the terminal for trains from the north and east, is near the northern end, which begins at Haymarket Square. Canal Street, leading out of Haymarket Square, ends at the North Station. Leading at right angles from Washington Street, Summer Street brings one to the South Terminal Station, where trains from the south and west arrive and depart. Winter Street, directly opposite Summer Street, leads to Tremont Street, which runs parallel with Washington Street, and to Boston Common. On the Common, at the head of Winter Street, may be found the Park Street Subway Station, where cars may be taken for any part of the city or suburbs, either directly or by transfer. Leading off Washington Street, at right angles, farther south, is Essex Street, which leads directly to the South Terminal Station. Opposite Essex Street is Boylston Street, which leads by the Common and Public Garden to the Back Bay District. The main line of the Tunnel and Elevated System runs under Washington Street from Forest Hills and Dudley Street to Sullivan Square, Charlestown, transferring at these points to surface cars.

Download or read book Boston Women s Heritage Trail written by Polly Welts Kaufman and published by Applewood Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Women have played active, prominent roles in Boston history since the days of Anne Hutchinson - the colonial freethinker who bravely challenged the authority of ruling Puritan ministers in 1638. Hutchinson's action is only one of more than 200 stories of Boston women told in the newly expanded guidebook from the Boston Women's Heritage Trail. Several maps indicate the sites where these historic women walked, worked, and lived, while photographs and other illustrations help bring these women to life once again. The updated guidebook will take you on seven walks through seven distinctly different Boston neighborhoods. Hutchinson's story is told by her statue on the grounds of the Massachusetts State House, while Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy's is found at the site of her birthplace in the North End. An underground railway stop on Beacon Hill reveals the dramatic escape of enslaved Ellen and William Craft to Boston. Other trails lead walkers to new statues of Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman in the South End and of Abigail Adams, Lucy Stone and Phillis Wheatley - three women who used the pen for change - portrayed in bronze in the recently dedicated Boston Women's Memorial on Commonwealth Avenue. The Boston Women's Heritage Trail guidebook is a must for visitors, students, and residents of Boston alike. Its lively descriptions show the significant role Boston women played in shaping the history and the future of both Boston and the nation."
