For example, during the colonial era, riotous mobs celebrated their hatred of the pope in an annual celebration called Pope's Night. In 1659, Christmas was made illegal, a ban by the Puritans that remained in effect for twenty-two years. William Monroe Trotter published the \u003cem\u003eBoston Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e, an independent African American newspaper, and was a beacon of civil rights activism at the turn of the century. And in more recent times, a centuries-long turf war played out on the streets of quiet Chinatown, ending in the massacre of five men in a back alley in 1991.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Author and historian Dina Vargo shines a light into the cobwebbed corners of Boston's hidden history in this riveting read, complete with illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 11, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50326082388205,"sku":"9781625858740","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/Onu7p4hofW9781625858740.webp?v=1784859937","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/hidden-history-of-boston-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
