Produktbeschreibung

A Moving and Informative Guidebook and Keepsake Worthy of Coffee Table Display! Through lyrical paragraphs and poignant black and white images, The Boston Freedom Trail reveals the essence of each site along the Freedom Trail, thereby allowing the reader to be moved and to connect more intimately with the splendor of liberty itself. Said to be the soul of the city, Boston's Freedom Trail embodies the remarkable and courageous spirit of America's unyielding quest for Independence and makes Boston a popular and endearing tourist destination. Beginning within the elegantly manicured grounds of Boston's Common, this trail takes an estimated twenty million visitors a year on a fascinating 2.5-mile walk through its historic sites-sites enveloped within the city itself, and dotted with cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels, and commerce. In this book, each of these sites, and each name associated with America's independence, whispers endless stories and inspires great dreams. This city's captivating past-and that of the entire American experience-can be discovered on each page, making it an absorbing and everlasting book, one dedicated to the absolute beauty and the luminous tradition of freedom.
