Massachusett's Harvard Square is one of the busiest and most exciting spots in New England. The heart of it is Harvard University with all its history, tradition, and ivy-covered, red brick walls. Over 250 vintage postcards display the growth of Harvard Square ? from a sleepy village, where General George Washington took command of the colonial troops, to a contemporary city. Harvard Square, and the city of Cambridge by extension, still retains many historic buildings and churches and its student population with all its associated, diverse, cosmopolitan attractions. AUTHOR: E. Ashley Rooney has written several books on a variety of subjects, her interst lying primarily with the New England era. Mary Martin is a postcard collector and dealer in Perryville, Maryland, who has provided postcard collections for many books about cities around the region. 271 colour photos
