Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Interesting Boston Events It has been the aim of the State Street Trust Company to select for this the tenth pamphlet in its series, historical events associated with Massachusetts, particularly Boston, and at the same time to choose events of a varied nature in order to interest as many readers as possible. Certain of the better known subjects have been purposely omitted, as it was thought that a selection of somewhat less known, though perhaps equally important, events would prove of greater interest. For assistance in preparing the present pamphlet the Trust Company desires to give credit first of all to the officers of this Company; then to the late Governor, Curtis Guild, for valuable suggestions as to the subject-matter; also to Mr. Samuel Morison for other suggestions; to Mr. Otto Fleischner, of the Boston Public Library, for valuable assistance in the selection of reference books; to Mr. C. K. Bolton, of the Boston Athenæum, and Mr. Charles F. Read, of the Bostonian Society; to Mr. P. K. Foley and Mr. C. E. Goodspeed for assistance covering certain pictures and references. For assistance on specific subjects the Company wishes to thank Mr. Louis A. Cook for help in connection with the account of the first settlement in Boston Harbour; Prof. A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard College, Mr. William C. Lane, of the Harvard College Library, and Mr. Roger Pierce, for information furnished in regard to "Fair Harvard"; Dr. J. Collins Warren and Mr. C. K. Bolton for their assistance in obtaining certain facts in connection with the Old North Church; Mr. Charles H. Taylor, Jr., Miss Clara Parker, of the Nantucket Athenæum, Miss Anne W. Bodfish, Secretary of the Nantucket Historical Society, Mr. George H. Tripp, Librarian of the New Bedford Library, and Mr. William Rotch for information concerning Mr. Rotch´s Counting House in Nantucket; Mr. C. H. W. Foster, Mr. W. S. Crane, and Mr. William Sumner Appleton for suggestions in regard to the Province House; Mr. F. H. Curtiss, of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, for books and information furnished in regard to the United States Branch Banks; Mr. Eric Pape and Dr. Robert T. Moffatt for information and photographs furnished concerning the frigate Constitution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
