Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Join author Christopher Klein for a slide show tour of Boston Harbor Islands
this Tuesday at the John Curtis Library. Mr. Klein pays tribute to the role
the harbor islands have played in the growth, protection, and culture of
Boston. He includes stories of the countless new Englanders who lived and
toiled on the island shores:
. native Americans who seasonally camped on the islands
. wealthy Bostonians who turned the islands into their own private
playgrounds
. sick and poor incarcerated on the islands during public health
epidemics and
. island-bound prisoners of war.
This program will take place on Tuesday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m. in the
library. There is no charge for admission and refreshments will be served.
