Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history of Boston Harbor as a critical port of entry and its continual need for preservation. Beginning in 1823 with Mayor Josiah Quincy's concerns over Deer and Rainsford Islands, the author provides an account of the efforts of the City Council and the federal government to preserve Boston's outer harbor. The book also delves into the separate but related issues of the inner harbor, where the competing interests of private landowners and the preservation of critical channels created a more complicated preservation challenge. Taken together, the account of the harbor's history provides insight into the complex relationship between private property rights, public interest, and the preservation of a natural resource critical to the wealth and identity of Boston.
