Parks for the People
Various
On a June evening in 1876, Boston packed Faneuil Hall to demand green space for a growing city. This record of that meeting gathers the speeches of Joseph Ropes and George Chase, arguing that public parks are not a luxury but a civic necessity. A snapshot of how America decided its citizens deserved room to breathe. Hear the case for parks made in its own passionate words.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
