In tracing the history of Colonial Boston, Navy Captain William Schofield came up with the idea of establishing The Freedom Trail, which has become Boston’s most famous tourist attraction. The simple idea of laying bricks on the sidewalks connecting the various monuments and sites with one another was Bill’s genial and practical solution that keeps on pleasing young and old alike, be they from Boston or elsewhere.
American history in many ways began in Boston, and not all of it of the highest caliber. Over religious issues, the first woman was hanged and witches burned; in the same place, Samuel Adams created the Boston Massacre. Yet, Paul Revere took his famous ride; Harvard University got its charter; the USS Constitution continues to have harbor there; and the Bunker Hill Monument together with the Athenaeum Library continues to be popular sites to everyone to visit.
As an aside, the Constitution, which is an active commissioned vessel, by law has to make at least one sail per year into the harbor. For many years, Captain Schofield took the helm wherein he presented to the special guests aboard with the history of Boston contained in this book.
Freedom by the Bay—The Boston Freedom Trail eBook William Schofield Adolph Caso Richard Berenson
I love Schofield's book. For those who do not know, Schofield was the founder of the Freedom Trail, (for which I have a great free Google map at stevestravelguide.com). He was a Boston columnist for many years, and it shows in his writing style and deep love for the subject.This is absolutely not a guide, but provides great background material. And, it is fun to read - edgy, colorful, humorous, and opinionated but insightful. It doesn't always jive with other sources, but it brings the Freedom Trail and Historical Boston sites to life. A great background read.
For a Freedom Trail guide, Freedom Trail Boston - Ultimate Tour & History Guide is the most complete.
