Excellent history of historical New England village December 28, 2007
Raised in Marblehead, and having since moved from there, I remain enthralled by this small, historical village on the shore North of Boston. It is full of history, including tales of pirates, the birthplace of the American Navy, the inspiration for the famous painting the "Spirit of Seventy-Six" (which hangs in its city hall), the birthplace of an early Supreme Court justice (Justice Story) and Eldridge Gerry (the progenitor of the famous "gerrymander"). This volume provides an excellent history of the town told through its more famous lore, legends, and tall tales. For anyone planning a visit to Boston, Marblehead is well worth the side trip, and this book is a terrific primer.
