Annals And Reminiscences Of Jamaica Plain 1897 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Annals and Reminiscences of Jamaica Plain, 1897 This sketch was prepared by request to be read before the Jamaica Plain Ladies' Tuesday Club. Subsequently a desire was expressed to have it put in more permanent form and offered for sale at a Fair for the benefit of the Jamaica Plain Indian Association. Al though personally reluctant to appear before the public in this way, I have allowed my desire to aid a good cause and give pleasure to friends who have kindly received my paper to influence me in its publication. I am indebted to The Memorial His tory of Boston, to Drake's Town of Roxbury, to Dr Thomas Gray's Half Century Sermon, and to the memory of a few of the older residents for some of the dates and incidents given.
