{"product_id":"dorchester-9781531622466","title":"Dorchester","description":"Dorchester was settled in 1630 by Puritans from England, and for over two hundred years it remained a small farming community. However, the arrival of the Old Colony Railroad brought first a flood of wealthy new residents from the city of Boston, and \u003cbr\u003esoon a second wave of newly-arrived immigrants who \u003cbr\u003eintroduced a new diversity and vibrancy to the area. \u003cbr\u003eRenowned local historian and author Anthony Mitchell Sammarco has brought together more than two hundred compelling images of the town of Dorchester, showing the events, places, and faces that defined Dorchester during the exciting period between its annexation to Boston in 1870 and the early 1920s. \u003cbr\u003eThe photographs show a community which has constantly embraced change and diversity without \u003cbr\u003elosing its sense of tradition and pride in its heritage. They bring to life the history of such neighborhoods as Meeting House Hill, Grove Hall, Codman Square, Pope's Hill, and Neponset, showing buildings long gone and many that are still familiar features of the local landscape, as well as busy streetscenes and images of Dorchester residents at work and play during fifty key years of the town's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531622466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Anthony Mitchell Sammarco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36656914595996,"sku":"9781531622466","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3a6ae238-8db3-4859-a894-8388a0470d34.jpg?v=1603889309","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dorchester-9781531622466","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
