"Young Folks' History of Boston" is one of Mr. Butterworth's best books. In addition to a most entertaining statement of the facts of the history of the "hub," from its single hermit settler of 1623 to the late 19th century, it contains a large number of stories and legends, among which we note the quaint history of St. Botolph, founder of "Old" Boston in England, the story of "Leif and Thorwold," the Norwegian explorers, "Dorothy Hancock's Reception," "The Sad King," and several poems.
