Edward Rowe Snow (1902-1982) is remembered as one of the most vivid chroniclers of New England maritime history. Beginning with the publication of The Islands of Boston Harbor in 1935, he made his name as a historian of the New England coast-and also as a popular storyteller, lecturer, preservationist, and treasure hunter. For forty years, Snow flew to the lighthouses of New England as the Flying Santa, dropping Christmas parcels for the keepers and their families. A granite memorial to Edward Rowe Snow, Mr. New England, on Georges Island in Boston Harbor was dedicated in 2002 by his many friends. Jeremy D'Entremont is a lighthouse historian, writer and photographer, and webmaster of New England Lighthouses: A Virtual Guide at www.lighthouse.cc. Commonwealth Editions reissued A Pilgrim Returns to Cape Cod, one of Snow's most enduring classics, in recognition of the centennial of Snow's birth in August 1902. First published in 1946, Pilgrim is notable for what updater Jeremy D'Entremont calls the sheer volume of colorful, dramatic, harrowing, and humorous history and legends. It is one of the most entertaining and satisfying works produced by the prolific Mr. New England.

Set in the year 1779, The Leveller gathers the historical facts of the life and times of the main character, Tom Cook, and weaves them into a tantalizing fictional story of his daring escapades in colonial New England. Legend has it that Tom's mother had sold his soul to the Devil in return for his recovery from a childhood fever. His neighbors thought he was bewitched and Tom became a loner, stealing from the wealthy and giving to the poor--leveling fortunes, so to speak.This historical novel, written for the middle grade reader, was first published in 1984 and has been out of print for many years.Drawing from journals and legends of early New England, the author has fashioned a tale of the notorious Tom Cook...Although he was openly feared and treated as an outcast, he was secretly loved by many as The Leveller, a contemporary Robin Hood. Tom's cleverness in outwitting the wealthy eventually pays off, as he manages to outwit the Devil and regain his soul.-American Bookseller

James Michael Curley

One of the best-known Boston politicians of our times recalls the life of the controversial but beloved mayor, congressman, and governor James Michael Curley. Curley was the greatest Irish-American politician in Boston history before John F. Kennedy, who actually won Curley's seat in Congress. As the voice of working Boston, Curley was loved to the point of adoration, even as he was being hustled off to jail for what he called taking care of constituents. Bulger, who was growing up in Boston just as Curley's career and life were winding down, explains how such a rascal could have been an inspiration to him and so many others.

The setting of This Quiet Place is an outland of pine, caramel sand and clean tidewater on Cape Cod. It is to this quiet place that Everett Allen returns each year in early autumn, to walk the Cape's beaches and marshlands, to sail in its shallow reaches, to mark sunrise and nightfall and the passage of the seasons. This Quiet Place is a celebration of the ties that bind man to nature, and a mirror to the ceaseless urgings that bind man to man.
