Boston by Patrick L Kennedy
Many of the key places in the Revolutionary struggle are featured in the book, including Boston Harbor, Paul Revere's house, and Dorchester Heights, from where George Washington threatened the British garrison.

Sites include: Boston Light, US Constitution, Bunker Hill Monument, Old North Church, Charles Street Jail, Scollay Square, Union Oyster House, Quincy Market, Faneuil Hall, Dock Square, Old State House, Massachusetts State House, Boston Common, Old South Meeting House, Long Wharf, South Station, Liberty Tree Site, Copley Square, Boston Public Library, Museum of Fine Arts, Fenway Park, Kenmore Square, and Cyclorama. Pairing vintage photos with the same view today, Boston Then and Now shows how the city has preserved its historic past alongside the highrises and the Government Center.Todd Keith, an Alabama native, has worked as a writer and editor for over ten years, contributing to publications such as National Geographic Traveler, Coastal Living, Robb Report, and Southern Living.
