For eleven extraordinary years, from the outcry against the Stamp Act in 1765 until the British were forced to evacuate Boston in early 1776, Boston was a hotbed of revolutionary passion and drama. From Castle Island, where the British troops were quartered, to battlegrounds in Lexington and Concord, from Bunker Hill in Charlestown to Dorchester Heights south of the old peninsula city, a series of extraordinary events shaped the history of America.

Now, one of Boston's most revered photographers joins forces with one of the city's leading historians to guide residents and visitors on an eye-catching walk through history. Robert Allison's text narrates the key events, and Ulrike Welsch's award-winning camera follows the action. Their collaboration is packaged in the stunning new design of the "New England Landmarks" series, offering exceptional value for those who love Boston and its history.

Sites include: Faneuil Hall, where early town meetings raised Revolutionary consciousness; the Old State House, in front of which the Boston Massacre outraged the townspeople; the Old South Meeting House, where the Tea Party was organized; the Old North Church, where two lanterns signaled to Paul Revere and other alarm riders that the British soldiers were coming "by sea"; and the Battle Green in Lexington and the Old North Bridge in Concord, where Welsch's camera captures the excitement of present-day reenactments. Sites less visited are here as well, including the Shirley-Eustis House in Roxbury and Castle Island in Boston Harbor.
