Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dickens Days in Boston: A Record of Daily Events The accidental discovery of some unreported incidents in the visit of Mr. And Mrs. Charles Dickens to Boston, in 1842, led to a thorough search through old news papers, diaries, letters, reports, magazines, etc., and the attempt to compile a diary of each day and night that Charles Dickens spent in Boston: a diary that is really true because it is mostly written by people who were present and who saw and heard what they set down.

Download or read book Boston Common written by Samuel Barber and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boston Common: A Diary of Notable Events, Incidents, and Neighboring Occurrences Boston Common belongs to the world. In or around it took place events which link it with the history of government for and by the people in this country. From it radiated the influences that led to democratic as opposed to aristocratic rule. To it can be traced the gatherings in town halls by the substantial men in Massachusetts, and other commonwealths; and the famous little red schoolhouses date their inspiration from the public exercises that took place on the classic green in Boston. As the years have progressed, interest in the Boston Common has increased year by year. Details that appeared to be of slight moment in the early history of the country are now sought after. Whatever has taken place there or in the vicinity of it has become in a sense hallowed to the lover of liberty. The very great distance in time between the present and the early planting of Boston Common, together with the apparent neglect of chroniclers of events in connection with it, has made difficult the collation of facts respecting the time honored centre of Boston. The author has endeavored to faithfully and chrono logically register the results of his researches in the following pages. Accuracy has been his one desire and care. It is that feature on which he bases his right to be heard, and on which he believes that his efforts will be of profit to the reader. To those who have aided him, either by advice or by their registered dates, he returns his thanks and acknowledgements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boston and Her Story The purpose of this book is to tell the story of Boston in a simple and interesting way, which will appeal especially to pupils of the early grammar school age. It does not pretend to give all the details of historical occurrences nor of modern things of interest, but aims to present the most important facts in a way that they can be understood easily, and with a thread of interest that will increase the probability of their retention. The story is divided into four parts: the Settlement of Boston, including the Physical Features of Original Boston; the Boston of Early Colonial Days; the Boston of Revolutionary Days; the Boston of To-day. In each part the story is told by the use of fictitious characters, who are made to take part in genuine events, accurately described. The localities described in the fourth part are not held to be the only places of interest nor even those most worthy of atten tion, but an attempt has been made to present material from which one or two facts about each section of Boston may be learned, with the view of Obtaining a clearer conception of the extent and attractiveness of the city.

Book Synopsis History of the Old South Meeting-House by : Everett Watson Burdett
Download or read book History of the Old South Meeting-House written by Everett Watson Burdett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Old South Meeting-House: In Boston The thousands who have felt interested in the fate of the Old South Meet ing-house have-nowhere been able to find a connected record of the events which have rendered it illustrious. These pages are intended to supply this deficiency, and to create a larger veneration for the monument whose his tory they record. The author waited long before beginning a work which would seem to be so worthy of an abler pen. But no such work appear ing, this was begun and finished in the hope that it might at least be deemed better than none at all. At the meeting of June 14, 1876, it was said that if there were time to tell to the people the story of this building, the money for its preservation would be forthcoming. For every city, every church, every house, every man, every woman that has a dime, hearing this thing properly put before them, inspired by the memories of this place, would give and give freely that not a stone of this foundation, not a brick of these walls, not a tile of this roof over us, should be touched from this time forward, even forever. Sharing this faith, the author contributes this sketch to the cause of preservation, and trusts that, in some measure, it may be instrumental in creating a public sentiment which will render the destruction of the Old South impossible. Though it has been found impracticable to make it a part of the official programme, it is hoped that it may not entirely fail in promoting the common cause.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Siege of Boston In writing this book I have endeavored to produce a brief and readable account of the Siege of Boston, and of the events which brought it about. These were, of course, parts of a larger history, the connection with which I have carefully indicated. My main endeavor, nevertheless, has been to treat my subject as a single organic series of events. To select the more interesting and significant masses of detail, and properly to coordinate them, has not been an easy task. The minor incidents were conditioned by the scale of the book; the result, I hope, is fluency and a more evident connection between the larger events. So far as possible, I have relied upon contemporary statements. But no writer on the Siege can fail to acknowledge his deep obligations to the "History of the Siege" by Richard Frothingham.

Download or read book Boston and the American Revolution (Classic Reprint) written by National Park Service and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boston and the American Revolution Within two decades of 1750, however, Bostonians were resisting the policies of the British government. Quickly, their resistance turned to revolution. In the span of a generation, they came to see themselves and their society in a new way. Today the sites of Boston National Historical Park include the scenes of critical events in the story: resolutions in defense of colonial rights made in town meetings at Faneuil Hall; the Boston Massacre in front of the Old State House; mass assemblies at Old South Meeting House that preceded the Boston Tea Party; the battle at Bunker Hill and the occupation of Dorchester Heights. What brought Americans to these sites on these occasions? The answer lies partly in the acts of British authorities, Whose policies aroused a fervent opposition. It lies, too, in the townspeople's most basic beliefs and cherished ideals, most especially a notion of liberty that was precious not only to 18th-century Bostonians but ultimately to other Americans as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High Lights of Boston Upon certain localities and numerous events of historic Boston is focused the light of public interest, giving character and individuality to the city. Prominent among the high lights of Boston is Beacon Hill. The early history of the city first centered about this ancient landmark, and beneath the gilded dome of its State House is history still being made. On its southerly slope dwelt Boston's first settler, the Rev. William Blaxton (Blackstone), frequently referred to as the "Hermit of Shawmut." It is believed that he came over in 1623 with Robert Gerges, and this cultured, eccentric young Cambridge graduate, with his pale, thoughtful face, was a recluse by nature. For about five years he lived in undistrubed solitude in his thatched-roofed hut near the foot of Beacon Hill, with his rose garden, his apple orchard, his spring of sparkling water, and his brindled bull, on which he used to gallop long the crooked paths which later became the streets of Boston.

Book Synopsis The Driving Clubs of Greater Boston (Classic Reprint) by : John W. Linnehan
Download or read book The Driving Clubs of Greater Boston (Classic Reprint) written by John W. Linnehan and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Driving Clubs of Greater Boston As the outcome of several chance meetings of the horsemen of Hyde Park, Milton and Dorchester in the several blacksmith shops, and especially in the shop of E. P. Denn and the stable office of H. P. Gallup, on Barnes Street. Dorchester, was organized on April 26, 1899, the Dorchester Gentlemen's Driving Club. It was the first driving club in this country whose by-laws and constitution called for weekly meeting of its members and weekly racing of horses for ribbons. The first election of officers was held on May 10. 1899. and showed over a hundred horse owners enrolled on its membership list. The election resulted in the following board of officers: President, Charles L. Young; first vice-president. S. Walter Wales; second vice-president, Louis Pfingst; secretary, Charles H. Belledeu; treasurer, John M. E. Morrill; clerk, E. O. Haddock; directors, T. A. Bresnahan. Cyril G. Blaney, Frederick J. Brand, George H. Greenwood, and Charles L. Bartlett; racing and speedway committee, R. S. Fitch. C. H. Belledeu. A. S. Gushee. F. T. Brand. S. H. Mildram, L. E. H. Tones, Geo. B. Fowler, H. P. Gallup, F. S. Eldfedge, F. L. Codman. Alpheus Sanford; membership committee, Geo. E. Griffin, W. E. Newbert, C. L. Hinds; finance committee, R. S. Fitch, George H. Greenwood and H. P. Gallup. Weekly matinee races were held on the Blue Hill Avenue quarter-mile speedway, that had been granted the club by the city and which was kept in condition for racing by money secured from among the members, many of whom went down into their pocket for as high as $25 each. And this brings to mind what happened to a number of the members of the club on the very first day racing was permitted on Blue Hill Avenue, which is well worth reading. On account of Captain Charles W. Hunt and the police of the Dorchester district not being notified of the order signed by Mayor Quincy, allowing the west side of Blue Hill Avenue between Talbot Avenue and Morton Street to be used for a speedway, several members of the Dorchester Driving Club narrowly escaped being arrested for fast driving. When a mounted policeman saw several of the club members start to race their horses he stopped them and said that he should be compelled to place them under arrest. The drivers told the policeman that a permit had been granted, but they could not show it. The officer started to take them to the police station, but afterward agreed to telephone from the nearest signal box. He talked with Captain Hunt, but the latter said that he knew of no permit. Captain Hunt told the policeman to come to the station. He did so, and there the matter was discussed. Finally it was decided that the officer should take the names of those on the "Speedway," and if it should be found that an order permitting them to race had not been passed, they should lie summoned into court instead of being actually arrested. Among the names of those taken was S. Walter Wales, the well-known stable man; A. S. Gushee, C. L. Young, W. E. Newbert and Charles F. Stevens. They found Councilman Mildram and explained the difficulty they were in. A hurried visit to City Hall and police headquarters resulted in matters being straightened out, but many of them had several hours of worrying, fearful that they would figure in the criminal courts as violators of the law. Weekly meetings of the club were held in Central Hall on Center Street, Monday nights, where the result of the races of the previous week were announced and the horses matched for the next Saturday. This matching was always done by a special sub-committee of the racing and speedway committee, and the schedules of matches were announced after a recess of the business meeting. This schedule of matches was never satisfactory to any one, and, no matter how fair they were, no one expected they would be. so there was always an argument for and against putting cer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boston Herald and Its History: How, When, and Where It Was Founded; Its Early Struggles and Hard-Won Successes; The Prominent Events of Its Career Running a newspaper in Boston thirty years ago was a different matter altogether from journalism at the present day, as the extracts from the herald Of that time, quoted further on, will Show. The telegraph was in operation between this city and New York, it is true, but the tolls were high, and the dailies could not afford to use it to any great extent, except on the most important occasions. More oyer, people had not been educated up to the point Of expecting to see reports of events in all parts of the world printed on the same day Of their occurrence, or, at the latest, on the day following. Still there was a great rivalry between the Boston papers, especially in the matter Of publishing foreign intelligence. For several years before the extension of the telegraph overland to Nova Scotia, the news gatherers Of Boston and New York resorted to various devices in order to Obtain the earliest advices from Europe. From 1846 to 1850 the various revolutionary move ments in many Of the countries on that continent were Of a nature to be especially interesting to the people Of the United States, inasmuch as such struggles were regarded as indicating a sure progress among the effete despotisms towards republicanism. This stimulated enterprise, and Mr. D. H. Craig, afterwards known widely as agent Of the Associated Press, conceived the design of anticipating'the news of each steamer by a kind Of pigeon express.
