Mark Peterson Book Talk at Yale Bookstore
Join us to hear Mark Peterson discuss his book, The City-State of Boston. In his book, Peterson explores Boston’s overlooked past as an autonomous city-state, and in doing so, offers a path-breaking and brilliant new history of early America. Come learn about Boston’s development over three centuries; how it began as self-governing Atlantic trading center and refuge from Britain’s Stuart monarchs that would tragically lose integrity and autonomy as it became incorporated into the greater United States.
