Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A lively history of Bostons emergence as a worldclass cityhome to the likes of Frederick Douglass and Alexander Graham Bellby a beloved Bostonian historianIts been quite a while since Ive read anythingfiction or nonfictionso enthralling.Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River and Shutter IslandOnce upon a time, Boston Town was an insulated New England township. But the community was destined for greatness. Between 1850 and 1900, Boston underwent a stunning metamorphosis to emerge as one of the worlds great metropolisesone that achieved national and international prominence in politics, medicine, education, science, social activism, literature, commerce, and transportation.Long before the frustrations of our modern era, in which the notion of accomplishing great things often appears overwhelming or even impossible, Boston distinguished itself in the last half of the nineteenth century by proving it could tackle and overcome the most arduous of challenges and obstacles with repeatedand often resoundingsuccess, becoming a city of vision and daring.In A City So Grand, Stephen Puleo chronicles this remarkable period in Bostons history, in his trademark pageturning style. Our journey begins with the ferocity of the abolitionist movement of the 1850s and ends with the glorious opening of Americas first subway station, in 1897. In between we witness the thirtyfiveyear engineering and cityplanning feat of the Back Bay project, Bostons explosion in size through immigration and annexation, the devastating Great Fire of 1872 and subsequent rebuilding of downtown, and Alexander Graham Bells first telephone utterance in 1876 from his lab at Exeter Place.These lively stories and many more paint an extraordinary portrait of a half century of progress, leadership, and influence that turned a New England town into a worldclass city, giving us the Boston we know today.
