Mayflower passenger William Bradford’s manuscript journal Of Plimoth Plantation, broadsides recruiting soldiers for the Civil
War, photographs of African-American soldiers from the Massachusetts 54th and
55th Regiments, a handwritten journal by a Civil War soldier from
Massachusetts, early maps of Boston, and beautifully illustrated books on
natural history. Space is limited so register today!
