The History and Antiquities of Boston

By Samuel Gardner Drake

Published in Boston: L. Stevens, 1856. 1st ed.

Complete with all 840 pages.

Includes 39 engravings, 3 folding views of Boston.

Dimensions: 10.5 in x 7.5 in

Description: The history and antiquities of Boston, the capital of Massachusetts and metropolis of New England, from its settlement in 1630 to the year 1770. Also, an introductory history of the discovery and settlement of New England. The history of Boston plays a central role in American history. In 1630, Puritan colonists from England founded the town, which quickly became the political, commercial, financial, religious and educational center of the New England region. The American Revolution erupted in Boston, as the British retaliated harshly for the Boston Tea Party and the patriots fought back. They besieged the British in the city, with a famous battle at Bunker Hill and won the Siege of Boston, forcing the British to retreat.
