Hardback. Zustand: Good. In its 400 years of recorded history, the Charles River has run from Hopkinton to Boston just as marathoners do every April. In that time it has served as the route of settlement for places like Charlestown, Cambridge, Watertown, and Waltham. This book shows the Charles' historic role as a major source of waterpower, transportation, and recreation for the 23 towns and cities along its route. The story of the Charles includes many notable American figures including John Smith, Frederick Law Olmsted, and the inventors of the Stanley Steamer automobile. There are even accounts of the river's more recent transition from a poster child for the conflict between man and nature to one of the world's environmental preservation successes. Illustrated with historic maps and more than 100 color photos, this history of one of Greater Boston's greatest living landmarks is ideal for residents and visitors alike. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Boston has been a favorite backdrop for novels, films and television series, but some of the best stories about the city are true ones. Historian Ted Clarke explores these stories both the familiar and the obscure that have earned Boston such epithets as 'the epicenter of American crime fiction', 'the cradle of liberty' and 'the ice cream capital of the world'. The fifteen-foot tidal wave of molasses that roared down Commercial Street in 1919 is one of the more famous legends. Lesser known, but equally stunning, is the case of Albert Tirrell, who in 1845 murdered his mistress in a Boston boardinghouse but was released after presenting the first successful sleepwalking defense in the United States. From the mysterious story of John Jacob Loud, who patented the first ballpoint pen, to the dubious early enterprises of merchant prince turned philanthropist Thomas Perkins, Boston Curiosities offers up a medley of memorable events that give Beantown its celebrated flavor.…
