This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romantic Days in Old Boston the Story of the City and of Its People During the Nineteenth Century We Americans have a curious habit of dating back our heroes and of refusing the stamp of authentic valor - at least in our histories - to any act of moral or physical courage which has happened since the. Revolution. John Hancock we glibly dub "patriot" though he never fought at all, and in many ways is admittedly a man of pretty small calibre. It seems never to have occurred to those in charge of the spiritual sustenance of our youth that, beside William Lloyd Garrison, Hancock shrinks to really pitiful proportions. Webster's "Bunker Hill Oration" we read, to be sure, but the emphasis is always put upon the Bunker Hill rather than upon the Webster. And I never heard the name of Wendell Phillips pronounced during the years in which I prepared, in the Boston public schools, for college.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from When Boston Braved the King: A Story of Tea-Party Times The story of the Boston Tea-Party has been told many times, but still it offers to the story-teller a tempting theme. One thing which deserves to be brought more prominently to the front is the large share which the young people, the apprentices, the boys in the Latin School, and the Daughters of Liberty had in the making of public sentiment and the carrying out of daring projects in those momentous days. This story is intended to be accurate in its representation of historic characters and events; to give a true picture of life and thought in Boston before the Revolution, and to bring to the front the young people of the time together with their interesting seniors.
