Title: An excellent Bay State history
Review: Henry Howe has written a series of popular histories on Massachusetts and New England. This title is one of the best overviews of Massachusetts history. It begins with the Norse exploration of the coast and follows through to the birth of the high tech industries in the 20th Century. Howe is a doctor by trade whose avocation is local history. His books, particularly this one, are well written,informative and in general a joy to read. This book would, I believe, be of interest to both current residents, students and to others who may want a good orientation to the people, places,and culture of the Bay State.
