About The Streets of Newtowne: A Story of Cambridge, MA by Suzanne Preston Blier
Streets of Newtowne tells the story of the first planned city in North America (Cambridge, MA), from its indigenous beginnings to today, told from the vantage of its streets, paths, and streams who experienced this history unfolding over its long history. Special emphasis is given to the contributions of women and minorities. The book is written for 4th-6th graders, their adults (teachers, parents, librarians) as well as Boston area residents and visitors. The book is richly illustrated by Seattle-based architect and artist, Jim Blake. A section on the Massachusett tribe’s history here is co-authored by a member of their Tribal Council who was also a consultant for the book.
