Description

Between 1850 and 1900, Boston underwent a stunning metamorphosis from an insulated New England the town into one of the most world’s great metropolises—one who achieved all over the world prominence in politics, medicine, education, science, social activism, literature, commerce, and transportation.
 
In A City So Grand, Stephen Puleo chronicles this remarkable period in Boston’s history. He’s taking readers during the ferocity of the abolitionist movement of the 1850s, the thirty-five-year engineering and city-making plans feat of the Back Bay project, Boston’s explosion in size through immigration and annexation, the devastating Great Fire of 1872, and the wonderful opening of The us’s first subway station in 1897. This energetic journey paints a portrait of a half century of progress, leadership, and influence.
