520 _a"The Old Coast Road" by Agnes Rothery is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the Old Coast Road, which historically linked Boston to Plymouth, and traces the significant events tied to its development, highlighting the cultural and historical richness of the areas it traverses. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage for a journey down the Old Coast Road, emphasizing its importance as the earliest major thoroughfare in New England, initially used by Indigenous peoples and later by early settlers such as Pilgrims and horseback travelers. Rothery paints a vivid picture of the road's evolution from a narrow Indian path to a well-maintained turnpike, illustrating the changes in transportation and societal structures. Engaging with the rich quilt of history, she introduces figures from various eras who shaped the region, leading to an exploration of the landmarks and significant historical events tied to this iconic route.
