| Summary Note | Summary: "Annie Haven Thwing turned her massive collection of nearly 125,000 index cards into this beloved and highly informative 1920 publication. Thwing used colony records and the Suffolk deeds to pain a picture of Boston's neighborhoods -- the North End, Government and Business Centre, South End, West End, and "The Neck" -- and their inhabitants. Her goal, in her words, was to 'interest the present generation in the city in which they live' rather than to repeat the history of Boston. The story is also told visually in seven charming maps, and twenty-four illustrations" -- Publisher's description.
