this is boston. you can see boston is on this peninsula sticking out here. you can see this very narrow -- it's called the boston neck and the americans are here at roxbury and cambridge and they have the british bottled up in boston. here you can see boston harbor. here you can see castle william. remember we read that document about the boston riots and the governor was rioting from castle william. that's where castle williams is. what's interesting here and this shows the american anger after luxi lexington and concord. the americans don't try to storm the city. but what the americans do is they fortify this peninsula here, this is called the charlestown peninsula. and the theory here is if the americans control this high ground, they could put artillery up here and potentially shell the city and make boston harbor intenable. and the americans occupy this land on the night of june 16th. they're supposed to go to this hill called bunker hill. bunker hill is the back hill. there's two hills. bunker hill is about 40 feet taller than breed's hill. but in the

and i might know here about the boston globe. have a chance to go quickly through it and see what they were recommending. and i was really struck. at one point the "new york times" was criticized, one season they refused to having reached peak capacity with their choices. and the best books to resist summer on the boston globe are incredibly varied and diverse. okay, but where this idea formal reading come from? summer reading is a specific practice. how'd it come to be an established part, not only of literary commerce, but of american culture as well? those are some of the questions i began to explore. so i'm a book historian parts i practice in a field that looks at the intersection of authorship, reading, and publishing. book histories the field that concerns as a material object. first, but also with the cultural practices that surround books. how books are produced, how they are circulated. how they are received. and one summer, is returning for print culture culture and note under nova scotia's in the airport bookstore loo

even the boston one? mr. levin: it is complicated because there are so many ways you can approach the emancipation statue in d.c. and it isy teachers always a great moment because we are reading from the address. he gave the dedication address in 1876. you can find this online. it is an incredible address because it is so complicated and douglas is never willing to let lincoln off the hook as the great emancipator. he was they says, white man's president. it is a great opportunity to get a complexity of lincoln's legacy, at least in the eyes of douglas. the memorial itself is complex because it was paid by newly freed men. the enslaved man is based on a real person, archer alexander. -- thely, it is the submissive pose that even troubled douglas. he comments on it. lincoln hovering on -- hovering over the great emancipator beckoning him to rise. copy was brought to the city of boston in 1879. that was not paid for by friedman. it sat in park square since then. now that everything is in the news, there is the

since i began with an example from boston i would like to end there as well. this example is far removed from blackwell and her copy of the thief in the night. it's also an example that complicates this discussion of summer reading and are referencing a second tradition that take shape in the 19th century but the counter narrative summer is a time for serious sustained read. the book i want to end with in this illustration is taken from the book the new harry and [inaudible] story of boston in the summer of 1891 and it is by edward hale and his sister lucretia hale. the plot is exceedingly familiar to anyone who is familiar with the genre and to anyone who has ever read the novel and two young people meet, fall in love in the summertime and the plot moves forward with the characters engaging in a variety of summer activities. in this case, they ride the street carts to riverside where they rent a canoe, they visit the mount auburn cemetery and ride the vote to the hamptons and back. but the young lucy of the title takes her summers especially seriously and for

bunker hill, the american invasion of canada, and the eventual british evacuation of boston. >> okay, everybody. so last class we were talking about the outbreak of the american revolution. we say all this, tension is building in the spring of 1775, in april. general thomas gauge sends troops and fighting breaks out. as nightfalls, about 20,000 americans descend on boston, lay siege to the city and this war that nobody really wants but has been brewing for 12, 13 years has started. so today we're going to talk what's called [ speaking foreign language ] anybody take french? this is april 1775, right after lexington and concord, through the declaration of independence. this is sometimes called the

it is called the new area in the sea, story of boston in the summer of 1891. and despite edward hale and his sister. in the plot is exceedingly familiar to anyone who is familiar with this genre. to anybody was read any of the novels set at the summer resorts. two young people meet, they fall in love in the summertime. the plot moves forward with the characters engaging with the variety of summer activities. in this case, they read the streetcars to riverside with a frantic canoe. they visit the cemetery, the right the boat to hampton evaporated but the title takes for summers especially seriously. so her, summer is a time also to visit the temple. and to helen keller. it's a time to teach and vacation school for bosses at risk children . and jenny collins, they would establish the charity home for boston's or for the women. so summer in other words, was a time not just for ferry rides. before serious engagement with significant social issues. and i find myself wondering if i put this together, perhaps this will be the tenor of our summer reading today. but it

and even the boston one? >> yes it is complicated because, there are so many ways you can approach that emancipation statue in d.c. and i love you know i company teachers, over the last few years and it's always a great moment because we are reading fredericton glasses address so obviously he gave his education address in 1876. as you know and i encourage you to fund the line and watching it's an incredible address, because it's so complicated and douglas is never willing to let lincoln off the hook as a great emancipator. the and he basically says he was the white man's president right. so it's a great opportunity to get up to the complexity of lincoln's legacy, at least in the eyes of douglas and few years after the war, but obviously the memorial itself is complex because it was paid by the friedman right. and the enslaved man himself is based on a real person, archer alexander the but obviously it's a. position that the submissive pose and ivan douglas he comments on it. and he commented at that time. and

and even the boston one? >> yeah. i mean it's complicated because, you know, there's so many ways you can approach that emancipation statute in d.c. i accompany teachers the last few years through ford and it's always just a great moment because we're reading frederick douglas' address so obviously, you know, he gave the dedication address in 1876 and as you know and i encourage you, you can find it online if you're watching, it's an incredible address because it's so complicated and douglas is never willing to let lincoln off the hook as the great emancipator, right. i mean he's -- he basically says he was the white man's president, right. it's a great opportunity to get a complexity of lincoln's legacy, at least in the eyes of douglas, just a few years after the war, but obviously the memorial itself is complex because it was paid by, you know, newly freed men and the enslaved man himself is basically based on a real person archer alexander, but obviously it's the position between the two, right. the sort of submiss

it's a time to teach in a vacation school for boston's at risk children.it's a timed and a birthday commemoration of jimmy collins, while suffragist and labor reformer established the charity home for boston's poor working women. so summer, in other words, was a time not just for willing and ferry rides but for serious engagement with significant social issues. i found myself wondering as i put this together oppressed this would be the tenor of our summer reading today but still will be summer reading. so with that i think you. i guess i'm going to channel my inner swamp annette i call your attention here. this is the cover of my book, "books for idle hours." it is available online from the university of massachusetts press, and i just put the code year for 30% off off and free shipping. your support for the press be greatly appreciated, and i guess i will just stop sharing and we will go to questions. >> yes, that would be great. just to refresh everyone's memory, you can either use the race and function at the bottom of the screen or the q&a function and

and the british are going to evacuate boston. and they dated that actually two days ago, march 17th. so here's a big overarching map of the campaign. the wars go from 1775 to 1783. technically, the last major battle is in 1771. and if you are the british, what are your tactics here? how are you going to beat the americans? >> numbers. >> what's that? >> numbers. >> okay. superior army, hands down. >> you want to snuff them out. like cut them off from the rest of the world. >> okay. how do you cut them off from the rest of the world. >> navy. >> there you go, blockade the coast. then the british make another tactical decision. and they believe since the war has begun in massachusetts, if you cut off massachusetts, the what can be stopped? >> war. >> how do you cut off massachusetts? >> you like create like a border almost, you cut them off from the ocean and you bloc them. >> you blockade them. and? >> don't you blockade the hudson? >> yeah, you take new york, go up the hudson, you can split them all. now, this is one of the worst

boston dynamics. we will be speaking with them.ties negative in tone today despite the federal reserve said it would keep its easy money policy in place for at least a couple of years. we see across-the-board negativity although there are some subgroups moving in positive territory today. tech is leading by the tune of two or 3%. the nasdaq is the biggest decline or. just to give us some sense, it is not a broad-based incline in the s&p 500. the tier girls and industrials are managing some gains. there is a look at the 10-year yield. .68 on the day. in toronto, similarly some negative reaction. energy is one place to watch. we are still seeing week forecast for demand for the price of oil, but it is bouncing higher today for west texas, above 41. a little bit of a bright spot for energy producers. equities themselves are soft on the day. appear, a, it would tentative agreement between the u.s. treasury department, bytedance, and oracle. bidng to terms on oracle's for u.s. operations of tiktok. what might those terms be? daniel elma

in baltimore, a boston symphony concert, they were on the road doing a tour, a boston symphony concert was canceled when it was feared that a right might erupt. there was no concert. a large rally was held anyway. it was led by a former politician there. cries of kill mock rang out at this rally. it was a vicious scheme. i describe it in some detail in the book. in new york, carl muck became the target of a toxic campaign to keep him off the stage. the effort failed and he performed a few concerts there which were well reviewed. there were police officers stationed in the concert hall. muck's was hardly secure though. in march of 1915, muck was arrested. he was not charged with any crime. he was hauled off to the local jail and would be shipped off a few weeks later in georgia. it was a place that held german prisoners. not necessarily war prisoners, most of these people were germans who lived in the united states. the u.s. government labeled karl muck a dangerous enemy alien. he would spend the rest of the war in this prison camp in georgia along with several thousand other german ali

back in boston on the night of march 25th, 1918 carl was arrested. he wasn't charged with any crime. he was hauled off to a local jail, and a few weeks later he'd be shipped off to a place called fort oglethorp in georgia which was a place that held german prisoners. not necessarily war prisoners. most of these people were germans who lived in the united states. the united states labeled carl a dangerous immigrant alien and he would spend the rest of the war in this prison camp in georgia along with several thousand other german aliens, a number of whom were musicians. the book has much more on the carl nook saga including his love affair with a young singer which became public knowledge after his arrest and further inflamed the situation. still more troubling the authorities accused carl nook of esm esm espionage. he was said to have signaled german vessels at sea from a summer seaside cottage he had on the main coast. there's no credible evidence to support any of these allegations. carl was no spy. he was a faithless husband put he was not a spy.

in 1956, the boston symphony went to the soviet union.ithin a short time thereafter, the soviets invaded hungry. it is very hard -- again, i would like to stand here -- the musician or the old musician in me wants to think that music can do all of these things. the historian in me kind of looks at the world and says, i'm not sure i see it happening that way. i think it is noble that people are motivated by these dreams. i think they should keep trying to pursue them. if you ask me if i think it is where we are going, the world does not look all that peaceful to meet today. although it is probably more peaceful than it was 70 years ago, but still. i think classical music's power to do this is probably somewhat limited, i think. that doesn't mean that it isn't interesting to try and understand how people thought about it and what they believed it could accomplish. yes, sir. >> were there any similar efforts to take classical music to japan? >> yes. any similar efforts to bring costco music to japan. certainly, the u.s. government sent orche

in boston, chris sits down with the delbancos to open them and pick a buyer. what was the emotion in the room when you open the first bid for elena and nicholas to look at? >> you know, there was not a dry eye in the room because this cello was so much part of their life and signified her relationship to her father. >> saying goodbye to the countess of stanlein were more painful than i expected it to be. we all sat down in a little seating group in his office, and we put the cello as part of the seating group, and i began to feel more and more upset, and we just closed the case. and i've never seen it again. >> in the end, the greenhouse heirs accept a bid they feel they cannot refuse. it comes not from a cello virtuoso but from a foreign billionaire. but that's one last twist to this story when we return on "strange inheritance." we love our new home. there's so much space. we have a guestroom now. but, we have aunts. you're slouching again, ted. expired, expired... expired. thanks, aunt bonnie. it's a lot of house. i hope you can keep it clean. at least geic

kimberly atkins, a veteran of wbur and the boston herald, these days a member of the "boston globe" editorial board. and tim o'brien, executive editor over at bloomberg opinion. also happens to be the author of "trump nation: the art of being the donald." kimberly, i'd like to begin with you. if the president is going to throw down on fdr and churchill, i've decided this is a teaching opportunity. people can start by picking up a copy of the splendid eric larsen. it occurs to me, kim, the comparison to churchill falls apart in a couple of ways. number one, churchill was honest and forthright with the people of his island nation about the dire consequences and the threat they faced, one. number two, i don't think he ever said, it is what it is when referring to the death toll following the blitz. >> you're absolutely right, brian, and fdr certainly was honest with the american people when he led the country through one of the most difficult times in our nation's history. there is a big difference there. i would love to also see the president cite other accomplishments of both of those men with

in october of 1842, a fugitive slave george latimore and his wife rebecca arrived in boston. seven days later they are recognized by a friend of their virginian master, who then contacts the master. the master contacts the united states marshal in boston and they are immediately thrown into jail as fugitive slaves and there is going to be a trial over whether or not the latimores are fugitive slaves and whether or not they should be reenslaved under the fugitive slave clause of 1793. the hutchinsons are involved in that by virtue of living in lynn, massachusetts, at the time and they begin their kind of steps towards perhaps becoming anti-slavery singers. so this idea the hutchinsons will pick up on from their own christian background is certainly one of the factors in play. the idea of social betterment that connects also to a youth movement. many of the hutchinsons fans were of a younger generation, a generation that is increasingly mobile, socially mobile and geographically mobile. they're moving to cities from rural areas of the united states at this moment in time. it's
