Summary: "Vacationing to Baastan for its history?"

From first landing on Cape Cod because the "Mayflower" ran out of beeya, Y'all will follow the life of a young deck hand who quickly learns how to deal with life which he passes on to his progeny for them to make their way up through the early 1900s. You'll pass through the frontier years; the tea potty with the Patriots including Lexington/Concord; the challenges brought by the Civil War; the struggles of legal immigrants coming ashore and their struggles with the Yankees. All will bring your walk along the Freedom Trail and environs to much more vivid life. On the other hand, if you've already visited, this will revive and enhance that visit.(Don't forget Z's Call the Darkness Light as a followup.)

Summary: "One of my Favorite Books"

I first read this book in High School and loved it. After about 7 years I decided to read it again and have loved it just as much. The book is very interesting and really draws you in. It also is loaded with history, oftentimes history that I was never taught in school. This book is a must read if you are interested in history or are from Massachusetts. The only problem with it is that it leaves me wishing that I was a "Boston Brahmin" myself.

Summary: "Awesome"

I live in Massachusetts and have been familiar with the history and visited many of the historical sites. They are full of facts, etc. but nothing lets you actually live the life as this book does. It's the top of my list. It's a big book but very fast-paced. Wished it wouldn't end.
