There were brick and frame houses, modest enough; there were three small, white-spired churches, many locust and ailanthus trees, a covered bridge thrown across the river to a village upon the farther side and, surrounding all, a noble frame of mountains. There was, in those days, no railroad. Cleave's hundred men, having the town at large for their friend, stood in no lack of quarters.
Thus opened the Revolutionary war, for the battles at Lexington and Concord took place only the next day. The white-spired building at the corner of Park and Tremont streets, Boston, known as the Park Street Church, is hardly so old as its extended fame would lead one to suppose, for it dates no farther back than the first quarter of the present century.
