Lincoln
Lincoln was founded in 1754, when colonists in Concord and parts of Lexington and Weston joined together to form a new town. Judge Chambers Russell, Concord's representative to the General Court, christened the town Lincoln after his beloved family home of Lincolnshire, England. Shown in this pictorial of more than two hundred never-before-published photographs culled from historic archives and family collections, Lincoln evolves from its early days as a thriving agricultural community, through gentrification into country estates owned by wealthy Bostonians, to its present status as a pioneer in open-space preservation and conservation. Lincoln is a treasure trove for longtime residents and visitors alike who want to experience a New England town restore, recycle, and reinvent itself.

British Pirates and Society, 1680-1730
This book shows how pirates were portrayed in their own time, in trial reports, popular prints, novels, legal documents, sermons, ballads and newspaper accounts. It examines how attitudes towards them changed with Britain’s growing imperial power, exploring the interface between political ambition and personal greed, between civil liberties and the power of the state.
