About the authors
Edwin M. (Edwin Monroe) Bacon
1844–1916
A longtime Boston journalist and editor, he turned his deep knowledge of the city and New England into lively history, guidebooks, and reference works. His writing brings nineteenth-century Boston to life with the eye of a reporter and the curiosity of a local historian.
