Woburn: Forgotten Tales & Untold Stories

I purchased this book hoping to find some history of the town that one of my ancestors Samuel Richardson, helped found. Although there was little mention of people from my direct line, this was an extremely interesting read of the history after the town was founded in 1630. The history and characters are real and the various chapter authors did an excellent job of researching facts and putting them into facinating stories. This book gave me a better understanding of what several generations went through in order to make Woburn what it is today. This would be a great read for anyone interested in the early history of the United States.

A must read!!!!

Anyone who has ever seen Tom Smith on Chronical will not be suprised by the quality of this book. Tom et al have created an epic anthology about a little known place in the world - Woburn, MA! Prepare to be immediately drawn in by the history and use of language.
