Book Synopsis The Islands of Boston Harbor by : Edward Rowe Snow
Download or read book The Islands of Boston Harbor written by Edward Rowe Snow and published by Applewood Books. This book was released on 2008-03-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reissue of Edward Rowe Snow's first book, covering the legends and history of nearly every rock and island in Boston Harbor, including Boston Light and Graves Light. The first (1935) edition resulted from research Snow did at Harvard under the tutelage of the great maritime historian Samuel Eliot Morison. When the 1971 edition of the book was published, a critic for the Boston Post wrote, "Mr. Snow has the gift of making his subject vivid and personal in its anecdotal touches . . . It is a volume of chatty yet dignified essays, with many a light touch brought in." This centennial edition contains the complete 1971 text, with annotations by Jeremy D'Entremont to bring the information up to date.

Book Synopsis Boston Harbor Islands by : David Kales
Download or read book Boston Harbor Islands written by David Kales and published by Brief History. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the relentless development of the past two centuries, Boston's coastal geography is still defined by its Harbor Islands. Carved and sculpted by massive glaciers from millennia past, this constellation of thirty-odd isles--notorious for swirling currents, surging tides, and treacherous submerged hazards--has played an outsized role in the city's history and growth. In The Boston Harbor Islands: The History of An Urban Wilderness, David Kales examines the astonishing range of uses Bostonians have found for their neighboring archipelago. From pirates' havens to military fortifications, the Harbor Islands have undergone innumerable transformations. Now, as Kales describes, conservation agencies hope to revitalize the oft-neglected islands, which were recently designated as a National Park Area. Filled with fascinating stories, The Boston Harbor Islands is the perfect primer for readers seeking to learn more about a unique maritime landscape located just a ferry ride away from Boston.
Book Synopsis Urban Archipelago by : Pavla Simková
Download or read book Urban Archipelago written by Pavla Simková and published by Environmental History of the N. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boston Harbor Islands have been called Boston's "hidden shores." While some are ragged rocks teeming with coastal wildlife, such as oystercatchers and harbor seals, others resemble manicured parks or have the appearance of wooded hills rising gently out of the water. Largely ignored by historians and previously home to prisons, asylums, and sewage treatment plants, this surprisingly diverse ensemble of islands has existed quietly on the urban fringe over the last four centuries. Even their latest incarnation as a national park and recreational hub has emphasized their separation from, rather than their connection to, the city. In this book, Pavla Simková reinterprets the Boston Harbor Islands as an urban archipelago, arguing that they have been an integral part of Boston since colonial days, transformed by the city's changing values and catering to its current needs. Drawing on archival sources, historic maps and photographs, and diaries from island residents, this absorbing study attests that the harbor islands' story is central to understanding the ways in which Boston has both shaped and been shaped by its environment over time.

Book excerpt: The islands of Boston Harbor are set in a necklace of shimmering light and sparkling sea. Be not seduced. Beyond the horizon, gales gather to transform the islands into a dangerous place. Visit them if you dare during a storm and, amidst the howling winds and driving rain, you will hear the ghosts of the past: cries of smallpox patients confined to island hospitals and shipwrecked men; echoes of soldiers on Long Island, George's, and Peddock's, marching off to war. You will see the apparitions of George Washington and Edgar Allen Poe. The tale "Reminiscences of a Clamdigger" presents a vivid picture of life along the shores of Boston Harbor. In "Chortov," six seamen attempt to unravel the mystery of a missing clipper off Houghs Tombs in Quincy. "Skipping Rocks off Thompson's Island" is a hymn to dreamers and wanderers.
