Publisher`s description: The Boston Herald captured the city’s transition from a regional manufacturing hub to an international centre of trade and commerce. The Herald offers accounts of local and regional issues as they unfolded, along with uniquely New England perspectives of national and international events. Providing this historical archive as part of the most comprehensive news resource in the world creates a seamless continuum of coverage from the 19th century to today.
