Experience Boston, Massachusetts, as it was and as it is today, through
over 300 vintage postcards and current photographs of one of America's
favorite tourist cities. See The Old State House and the new, vibrant
skyline; the old Public Garden and the new skating rink; statues of
Revolutionary heroes and the famous mallard family that all contribute
to life in Boston as it has evolved over three centuries. It won't be
hard to learn the history as you read stories about these pictures.
Commerce, politics, romance, and religious strife all happened here
while Boston became a cornerstone of America's greatness. As a souvenir
or guide to the city, this book will be a welcome visual reference to
the city known as Bean Town, home of the football Patriots and the
Boston Marathon.
