The Crooked and Narrow Streets of the Town of Boston 1630-1822

Submitted by nehgsadmin on

Annie Haven Thwing turned her massive collection of nearly 125,000 index cards into this beloved and highly informative 1920 publication. Thwing used colony records and the Suffolk deeds to paint a picture of Boston’s neighborhoods—the North End, Government and Business Centre, South End, West End, and “The Neck”—and their inhabitants. The story is also told visually in seven charming maps.

Based on his detailed analysis and transcriptions of countless pages of seventeenth-century records, Bodge’s Soldiers in King Philip’s War includes the official listing of Massachusetts soldiers and officers, sketches of the principal officers, and official lists of land granted to veterans and their heirs.

The Loyalists of Massachusetts and The Other Side of the American Revolution

Submitted by nehgsadmin on

Originally published in early 1910, English-born yachtsman and author Stark used real-estate records to produce this volume of detailed biographies of Loyalists living in Massachusetts, organized by their social standing and beginning with royal governor Hutchinson. This irresistible and controversial work demonstrates how Stark liked to “stir the pot,” but journalists of the day had to admit that the fervor of his critiques was matched by the depth of his research.
