Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Boston
HE story of Old Boston can never be worn thread bare, although it has been told so often. It presents no new facts; the lanes and alleys of this ancient town are almost as well known as the walks around the State House or the old City Hall. One can almost see the quaint old houses at the North End, with their pretty gardens at the side, wherein our ancestors took so much pride and comfort; every foot of the old streets and noble Common has been tramped over and over where once were the footprints of the Puritans. No, there is nothing new in this subject; everything is old and moss-covered. But what is there that appeals with greater sympathy to the heart of the Bostonian of to-day than the places where our fathers lived, died and were buried? What better, purer and nobler thoughts can possibly pass through our minds than those which tell of the trials of that band of Puritans who asked only for freedom to worship God No one can doubt that our Puritan forefathers had much to contend with after leaving their native land and every thing they held dear. After suffering the most dreadful privations upon the ocean, they planted themselves on our wild and rugged shores, to seek that liberty of conscience they could not enjoy at home.
