Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Days and Ways in Old Boston Impressed with the interesting changes that had taken place in Boston and its business methods within the last two generations, we began some time since the preparation of a brief pamphlet calling attention to some of these changes which had occurred during the business life of Mr. R. H. Stearns, who founded this business in 1847 and died in 1909. It was our intention to distribute gratuitously this pamphlet (partly advertising and partly historical) among our customers. As the work progressed, however, we found so much of interest which had occurred in the year '47 and so much of Boston history which was connected with our present location, that the original plan of a small booklet was abandoned. Moreover, competent judges advised us that the material thus collected was of more than passing importance - most of it indeed being of real historic value - which could not fail to interest a much wider circle of readers. We therefore decided to eliminate the advertising matter (unless occasional reference in signed articles or illustrations showing some of the changes which have taken place at the historic corner where this business is now located could be so construed) and to print in permanent book form the material which had been collected. This volume is the result. This volume is the result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Boston Days Ways: From the Dawn of the Revolution Until the Town Became a City Almost of necessity a town is a different thing, and has a social life quite distinct, from a city. On its political side it is endowed with color and individuality, from the very fact that its humblest inhabitant may, at town meet ing, raise his voice to oppose the motion of the richest and most renowned man in the com munity. And, on the social side, it possesses a simplicity of interests, a delightful neighborli ness, and a quality of charming intimacy which may never be claimed by a city. So, in this book, which takes up where my St. Botolph's Town dropped it, the story of Boston's Share in the struggle for in dependence, I have stopped just short of the time when we blossomed into a munici pality and indulged in a mayor and aldermen. The end of Boston's life as a town seemed to me really the end of an era and I thought I could paint a better picture of life and manners here, during the period which followed the Revolution, if I did not venture far into the history of the nineteenth century.

I doubt that even the most phil osophical spirit, with never a tear or a regret for the past, could delve into its recesses as I have done, without a longing for the Old Mu seum days that are gone. Yet the memory of those days will leave, for all time, something of value to remember and cherish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

A locked door, a darkened room, a lowered voice, and immediately all the undeveloped love for the unknown leaps to the fore, the more eagerly because it has so little to feed upon, and because all the emotions are, as yet, fresh and unplayed upon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Boston in Colonial Days; Or St. Botoph's Town: From the Time Blackstone, the First Settler, to the Outbreak of the American Revolution The truth is that it is biography rather than history which really allures me; history seems to me worse than useless unless it illus trates the times of which it writes as those times affected the lives of its men and women. A book like this has no justification, to my mind, save as it makes us understand just a little better the part New England, in the per son of its chief town, has played in the mighty drama of nations made up of thinking, feeling men and women.

Book excerpt: “All Souls is the written equivalent of an Irish wake, where revelers dance and sing the dead person’s praises. In that same style, the book leavens tragedy with dashes of humor but preserves the heartbreaking details.”—The New York Times Book Review A 25th anniversary edition of the National Bestselling memoir, with a new afterword from Michael Patrick MacDonald, takes us deep into the South Boston housing projects during one of the city's most tumultuous times in history and tells the story of his family struggling the overcome the poverty, crime, addiction, and incarceration that overtook the neighborhood. A breakaway bestseller since its first printing, All Souls takes us deep into Michael Patrick MacDonald’s Southie, the proudly insular neighborhood with the highest concentration of white poverty in America. Rocked by Whitey Bulger’s crime schemes and busing riots, MacDonald’s Southie is populated by sharply hewn characters. We meet Ma, Michael’s mini-skirted, accordian-playing, single mother who endures the deaths of four of her eleven children. And there are Michael’s older siblings Davey, sweet artist-dreamer; Kevin, child genius of scam; and Frankie, Golden Gloves boxer and neighborhood hero whose lives are high-wire acts played out in a world of poverty and pride. Nearly suffocated by his grief and his community’s code of silence, MacDonald tells his family story here with gritty but moving honesty. All Souls is heartbreaking testimony to lives lost too early, and the story of how a place so filled with pain could still be “the best place in the world.”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dane Walraven: A Tale of Old Boston On the morning of October 29, 1829, the waters of Boston Harbor were of a milk-white hue; on the same night they were of the hue of blood. With the dawn of that disastrous day one of the most terrific storms that ever swept the coast of New England had come rolling down from the north to hold high carnival in Massachusetts Bay. From Charles River Bridge, on the north of the city, to the south end as far as India Wharf, the white waves surged and thundered all day, in unison with the diapason of infernal Winds, whose shrieks com mingled with those of the sea-gull passing out of the track of the tempest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Town-House of Boston From the infant days of the struggling puritan settlement, gathered upon the Peninsula of Shawmut, nestling in the low land lying between Beacon, Fort and Copp's Hills, and follow ing the water line of the Town Dock, now'covered by the pres ent Quincy Market and streets abutting upon it even farther inland, this site has, been one of central interest. Here, upon land now forming the present corner of State and Dev onshire streets, the fathers of early Boston consecrated with prayer and psalm, their first religious edifice, and it was here, also, that they first held their deliberations upon the conduct of their temporal affairs. As early as 1634, according to an unquestionable authority, a parcel of grwd, definately rec ognized and described in the Book of Possessiom, under date of eleven years later, was set apart as a market place. This estate, the area of which has never been curtailed or widened, is to-day intact, enclosed within the walls of the Old State House.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Boston HE story of Old Boston can never be worn thread bare, although it has been told so often. It presents no new facts; the lanes and alleys of this ancient town are almost as well known as the walks around the State House or the old City Hall. One can almost see the quaint old houses at the North End, with their pretty gardens at the side, wherein our ancestors took so much pride and comfort; every foot of the old streets and noble Common has been tramped over and over where once were the footprints of the Puritans. No, there is nothing new in this subject; everything is old and moss-covered. But what is there that appeals with greater sympathy to the heart of the Bostonian of to-day than the places where our fathers lived, died and were buried? What better, purer and nobler thoughts can possibly pass through our minds than those which tell of the trials of that band of Puritans who asked only for freedom to worship God No one can doubt that our Puritan forefathers had much to contend with after leaving their native land and every thing they held dear. After suffering the most dreadful privations upon the ocean, they planted themselves on our wild and rugged shores, to seek that liberty of conscience they could not enjoy at home.
