Reseña del libro "Boston Looks Seaward: The Story of the Port, 1630-1940 (en Inglés)"
Boston Looks Seaward: The Story Of The Port, 1630-1940 is a historical account of the development of the port of Boston, Massachusetts, from its early beginnings in the 17th century to the mid-20th century. The book was written by the Writers Project Massachusetts, a division of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) that was established during the Great Depression to provide employment for writers.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different period in the history of the port. The first chapter provides an overview of the early years of Boston, including the arrival of the Puritans in 1630 and the establishment of the city as a major trading center. Subsequent chapters explore the growth of the port during the colonial period, the impact of the American Revolution, and the rise of Boston as a major industrial center in the 19th century.The book also covers the impact of major historical events on the port, such as the Civil War and World War I, as well as the changes brought about by technological advancements, such as the introduction of steam power and the growth of the shipping industry. The final chapter of the book focuses on the decline of the port in the mid-20th century and the efforts to revitalize it.Overall, Boston Looks Seaward provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the history of the port of Boston, offering insights into the social, economic, and political factors that shaped its development over the course of several centuries. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Boston or the development of American ports in general.American Guide Series.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
