About this book
"Old Boston Taverns and Tavern Clubs" by Samuel Adams Drake is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich history and cultural significance of taverns in Boston, particularly focusing on their roles within the community from the colonial era through the Revolutionary War. The text is likely to interest readers who appreciate historical narratives that explore social institutions and their influence on community and political life. The opening of the book presents a foreword discussing the importance of taverns as institutions in Old Boston and how they contributed to the historical landscape of the community. It sets the stage by highlighting the decline of taverns in contemporary society and suggests that an exploration of their past can provide valuable insights into social manners and local dynamics. The author references early taverns such as Cole's Inn, examining how they served as gathering places for social and political discourse, ultimately framing the narrative of taverns as vital hubs in the evolution of Boston's social fabric.
