Audio Companion to Walking Tours of Boston's Made Land

This audio tour is meant to be used in conjunction with the book Walking Tours of Boston's Made Land, which explores Boston's past and present through 12 walks that trace the creation of the city's man-made land in the central waterfront, Back Bay, South End, Charlestown, and elsewhere. The podcast corresponds to the first walk: Central Waterfront.

Read by author Nancy Seasholes.
