Summary

Boston is not only steeped in America's colonial history, from the Purtitans who founded the city to the patriotic heroes of the Revolutionary era, it is also a very modern metropolis. That mix of old and new makes Boston a fascinating place to learn about and explore. Boston History for Kids spans 400 years of history, covering some of the major events that have occurred, from witch hunts to an earthquake, from the Tea Party to the Great Fire, from the Civil War to the Boston Marathon attack. Author Richard Panchyk chronicles the lives of Bostonians both famous and infamous, and many colorful characters that readers may not yet know. In addition to its lively story, Boston History for Kids includes 21 hands-on activities to better appreciate this Massachusetts city. Children will bake a Boston Cream Pie, write a poem in the style of Ralph Waldo Emerson, walk the Freedom Trail (in person or virtually), and much more. The book also includes a time line and list of books, websites, and places to visit
