Arlington by Richard Duffy
A fascinating visual history Arlington, a streetcar suburb of Boston.
Incorporated in 1807 as West Cambridge, the rural town of Arlington adopted its name in 1867, just prior to emerging as a streetcar suburb of Boston. Then & Now: Arlington commemorates this town's bicentennial by offering a visual journey through the many changes that have dramatically transformed the man-made and natural features of this community over time.
Duffy, Richard a.: - Local historian and author Richard A. Duffy, an officer of the Arlington Historical Society and a commissioner on the Arlington Historical Commission, has crafted a thoughtfully composed and well-documented work. Casting a broad net across several public and private sources, he has drawn together a remarkable variety of photographs that capture the vibrancy of each era. The vast majority of the images used in Arlington have never before been published, including rare daguerreotypes and magic lantern slides. Mr. Duffy, popular lecturer and award-winning author of articles on local history, has created a book that will captivate both lifelong residents and first-time visitors. His authoritative text will certainly prove a valuable reference for generations to come.
