Présentation de l'éditeur
Lexington and Concord OUR Historic Pilgrimage to Lexington and Concord begins at Park Square, near the identical spot from which the British troops embarked in boats, rowed across the Charles river to the Cambridge side, and started on their expedition to Lexington and Concord, on the 18th of A pril, in the year 1775. On the right is the Boston Public Garden, a tract of land comprising 244 acres, set aside by an act of the Legislature in 1859. It has been kept under a perfect state of cultivation and is a wonderful example of horticultural development. In the centre of the garden is an artificial pond and spanning the pond is the famous Bridge of Size. In the garden are many pieces of statuary. On the right is the statue of Wendell Phillips, the great abolitionist, designed by French. Next on the right is that of Col. Thomas Cass, the work of Richard Brooks, Col. Cass commanded the Ninth Massachusetts I nfantry, and fell at Malvern Hill, Va., in 1862.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
