As one of the original Thirteen Colonies and birthplace of the
American Revolution, Massachusetts has continued the rich tradition
of liberty throughout its storied history, becoming a primary
contributor to many fields of human endeavor in American
society.
Massachusetts native August C. Bolino profiles two hundred
significant historical personages from this state in "Men of
Massachusetts." Beginning with a brief history, Bolino traces the
role individual men have played throughout the state's nearly
four-hundred-year history, offering a concise and informative
profile of each one. He discusses how Massachusetts has been a
leader in reform movements, including education, the abolition of
slavery, and women's and African American suffrage.
In addition, Bolino depicts how people of Massachusetts spread
culture in literature, music, entertainment, and sports, championed
liberty, encouraged entrepreneurship, and paved the way for us in
the twenty-first century. Profiles include such storied figures as
John Adams and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry David Thoreau and
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Elias Howe and Calvin Coolidge, and, of
course, the Kennedy family.
A true testament to the remarkable achievements of the people of
Massachusetts, this compendium shows the fruits of true liberal
philosophy.
