Boston: City on a Hill: An Illustrated History

by Alan Rogers, Lisa Rogers

From the Puritans to the coming of the Irish and beyond, the authors detail how Boston and its colorful politicians have dealt with its many challenges including modern day racial and religious issues as well as the “Big Dig,” and transformed it into the thriving diverse 21st century city that it is today.  All those important to Boston's history are here from “Honey Fitz,” James Curley, Bernard Law and today's Mayor Thomas Menino. Alive with rich text, the book also includes over 350 black and white and color images, as well as an illustrated chronology of significant events in Boston history that puts it all in perspective.
