Reviews

Won
*Boston Preservation Alliance Preservation Achievement Award*

"As Boston's city archaeologist, Joe Bagley knows more about the Olde Towne's historic structures than do most people. He shares that knowledge... This however, is not a book about architecture - as Bagley says in his introduction, 'it is about Bostonians... and what makes Boston, Boston.'" 
*AAA Explorer*

"Bagley is wry and witty . . . demonstrating superior deductive skills and rousing the public to see the value of their past around them."
*New Boston Post, for "A History of Boston in 50 Artifacts"*

"City archaeologist Joseph Bagley has a special way of bringing Boston's evolution to life. In A History of Boston in 50 Artifacts Bagley delivers a tangible take on our past through a collection of stunning portraits of things that have been unearthed here."
*Boston Magazine, for "A History of Boston in 50 Artifacts"*

"The author's engaging writing style keeps the pages turning. Recommended."
