Boston's North End was a beehive of activity from 1700-1860 and New North Church became Boston's largest and one of its most influential churches. From pre-Revolutionary times to pre-Civil War, it traces the people who made Boston what it is today.Started by Boston craftsmen, it was the only church open during the Revolution. It began Puritan, became Congregational and ended Unitarian. Pastor Francis Parkman was one of the leaders in the Unitarian Movement, The gristly murder of Dr. George Parkman had its roots at New North. It was the church of Prince Hall, noted Black Freemason, Abolitionist, and Civic Leader. Its last building has been saved and is now St. Stephen's Roman Catholic Church, the church of Rose Fitz-gerald Kennedy. Complete records of births, marriages, and death from Book III never before published.Richly illustrated.
