Summary:

"From eastern Massachusetts to southern New Hampshire, five million people call greater Boston home. Drawing on more than thirty years as a resident of the region himself, renowned urban historian Sam Bass Warner, Jr., reveals a vibrant, ethnically diverse American metropolis, a mixture of cities and small wooded towns, a region built on tradition, yet able to keep pace and set trends in the modern world."--Jacket.
