3 Dear Teacher or Parent, Boston s Trail to Freedom is part of the Teaching & Learning Company s continuing series of books on historical monuments in the United States. The Freedom Trail would make an excellent companion piece to the previously published Liberty Bell. Both books are about the events leading up to the Revolutionary War, but they emphasize different aspects of that period in U.S. history. While the information in the two books overlaps somewhat, all of the exercises are completely different so that the two books would complement each other when used together. Why does this book focus soley on Boston when the American Revolution occurred throughout the 13 colonies? Boston, Massachusetts, was the colony in which many of the most important events leading to the Revolution happened. Samuel Adams of Boston formed the Sons of Liberty and the Committees of Correspondence, which later spread to the other colonies. The Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party happened in Massachusetts. Other colonies imitated the Tea Party in their own harbors. The Intolerable Acts that aroused the ire of all the colonies were specifically targeted at Massachusetts after the Tea Party there. The first battles of the Revolutionary War at Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill were fought in Massachusetts. Finally, some of the most famous figures of the Revolution including John Hancock, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Paul Revere and James Otis lived in Boston. Massachusetts was arguably the colony that was most influential in leading what would become the United States into rebellion against Britain. I hope you and your student(s) find this book interesting and useful as an adjunct to your U.S. history lessons. Sincerely, Julia Hargrove iv TLC10403 Copyright Teaching & Learning Company, Carthage, IL

4 Name Boston s Freedom Trail contains more sites related to the Revolutionary War and the events leading up to that war than any other city in the United States. These sites had existed for 175 years or more before someone had the idea of uniting them into a single tourist attraction. Boston newspaperman William G. Schofield had the idea in 1950 for the name Freedom Trail and for combining the sites into a single walking tour. Previously, the historical sites had been run, funded and advertised separately. Because of the length of this book and the desire by the author to generally keep to the Revolutionary War theme in the sites chosen for the text, several of the sites on the Freedom Trail have been omitted. The Quincy Market was built under the leadership of Mayor Josiah Quincy in 1825 to expand the facilities for people selling their goods in Boston. The Old State House was built after a fire in 1711 burned down the original town meeting house. Old South Meeting House, Park Street Church and Saint Stephen s Church attest to the importance of religious worship among the early residents of Boston. Boston s Freedom Trail 1 The Old Corner Bookstore began as a business selling books, but it evolved into a publishing company called Ticknor and Reed. By the mid- 1800s it was doing business as Ticknor and Fields, Inc., and publishing the works of the New England authors (Longfellow, Hawthorne, Emerson, Stowe, Whittier, Holmes and Thoreau) who created a distinctly American literature. The Old Granary Burying Ground, dating back to 1660, contains the remains of many famous people including John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Paul Revere and the five people killed during the Boston Massacre. Boston Common, now the oldest public park in the U.S., began as an open space on which to graze the citizens cows and goats, to drill the local militia and to publicly execute criminals. Among those executed were religious dissenters such as Quakers, three women convicted of consorting with the Devil and an Indian sagamore (a subordinate chief of the Algonquian Indians of the north Atlantic coast). Now Bostonians stroll the park and enjoy its natural setting in the midst of the city. The State House designed by famous architect Charles Bulfinch and built between 1795 and 1798 was the seat of government in Boston. Bulfinch also designed the monument that was originally on Beacon Hill. It commemorated the fact that Beacon Hill (formerly Sentry Hill) had been a lookout post from the beginning of Boston s history. A beacon burned on the hill to warn the citizens when they were in danger. Copp s Hill was, at various times, a mill to grind corn, a fortress and a cemetery. It is now Copp s Hill Burying Ground where many famous and interesting names from colonial Boston may be found. Interested students can research these places on the Freedom Trail on the internet either through the National Park Service or the names of the specific sites. 1 Boston s Freedom Trail (2 nd ed.) by Robert Booth, Chester, Connecticut, The Globe Pequot Press, TLC10403 Copyright Teaching & Learning Company, Carthage, IL
