Publisher's Synopsis

Since the beginnings of the city in 1630, Boston has been a hub of new ideas that have led America and the world in new directions. Innovations have ranged from the smallpox vaccine to the invention of the telephone. Even toll-house cookies and personal computers got their start in Boston.

Photos, paintings, and engravings--and lots of cool facts--bring to life some of the people, places, and events that changed the course of history.
