Melrose
Residents of Melrose greeted the publication of a photographic history of their city with tremendous enthusiasm. For the first time, significant people and events in the city's past were celebrated in a vivid record available to all. Anthony Pagano, the author of that volume, has created a marvelous sequel about the city's history that incorporates many important images only recently discovered. Melrose Volume II covers the history of the city through images of its churches, schools, civic events, and well-known residents. From artifacts of the settlement of the community in the seventeenth century to more modern scenes from the mid-twentieth century, Mr. Pagano presents a comprehensive look at the development of Melrose.
Melrose
In the early 1630s settlers came from Charlestown by way of the Malden River to form the small city that would become Melrose, Massachusetts. The original residents received grants from the English colonial government to settle in what was termed "nothing but rocks, water, and forest." Lead by the Lyndes, the "first family of Melrose," this vibrant community was born and has grown to a population of 25,000. Local historian Anthony J. Pagano explores Melrose and its heritage in this remarkable new volume. From the history of the Lynde family--which held grants for most of the southern portion of Melrose--to the development of the Boston Rubber Shoe Company--the city's largest employer--Pagano provides a rich context for the unique collection of images contained on these pages. Discover the history behind the beautiful homes, powerful families, enduring institutions, and productive businesses that have defined Melrose in this exciting new book.
