A 108 page booklet "An Illustrated Guide to the North Shore of Massachusetts Bay" by Benjamin D. Hill and Winfield S. Nevins. This booklet is broken down into 9 chapters, with each chapter describing a different town in the North Shore of Massachusetts in 1892. The chapters describe the attractions, the history, and the regions of the towns with both print and illustrations. The nine towns described in this guide booklet are Salem, Marblehead, Beverly, Manchester, Magnolia, Gloucester, Rockport, Danvers, and Peabody. The attractions that are included in the description of these towns are important historical houses, churches, residences, institutions, and government buildings. The chapters also describe each towns' proximity to the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Also included in the booklet is a loose map of Cape Ann of Massachusetts which depicts where each town in the North Shore is located along the coast of Massachusetts. The first edition of this publication was printed in 1879 and numbered 2,000 copies, with a second edition published one month later which also numbered 2,000 copies. There was not a new book made every year, but the previous edition would be revised as to include the constant changes and additions that took place in the North Shore region of Massachusetts. Also included in this publication are various advertisements for businesses along the North Shore. |
