The atlas of Boston history
Nancy S. Seasholes (Editor)
Few American cities possess a history as long, rich, and fascinating as Boston's. A site of momentous national political events from the Revolutionary War through the civil rights movement, Boston has also been an influential literary and cultural capital. From ancient glaciers to landmaking schemes and modern infrastructure projects, the city's terrain has been transformed almost constantly over the centuries. 'The Atlas of Boston History' traces the city's history and geography from the last ice age to the present. Edited by historian Nancy S. Seasholes, this book captures all aspects of Boston's past in a series of 57 stunning full-colour spreads. Each section features newly created thematic maps that focus on moments and topics in that history
