Description
Boston's rich history spans four centuries, from the Puritan theocracy of the seventeenth century to the modern era. This concise and engaging history is brought to life through a wealth of illustrations and twenty short profiles of exceptional individuals who shaped the city's past. A chronology of key events provides a clear framework for understanding the city's development, while the profiles offer a glimpse into the lives of notable Bostonians, from its founder John Winthrop to heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan. With its lovingly written and lavishly illustrated pages, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Boston's history and culture. Published in 2004, A Short History of Boston is a unique and informative work that fills a significant gap in the market for a concise and engaging history of the city.
