Allston-Brighton in Transition - William
P. Marchione, Ph.D
 From its
founding in the seventeenth century, when it was known
as Little Cambridge, to its contemporary incarnation
as a vibrant Boston neighborhood, Allston-Brighton has
remained a spirited community through generations of
change. John Eliot established his first Praying
Indian village, Nonantum, here in the late 1600s; the
Winships Brighton Cattle Market prospered from 1776
through the nineteenth century, meriting several
visits from both vagrants and notables, including
Nathaniel Hawthorne; and the Beacon Trotting Park
provided entertainment in the late 1800s. Along the
Charles, through Aberdeen, at the market and on the
first electric streetcars, Dr. William P. Marchione
provides a journey through the stories of
Allston-Brighton's past.This book is no longer available from the BAHS. It can still be purchased at Amazon and other online dealers. <click here> for the Amazon link.
