This book is a great companion for exploring the Freedom Trail. There's great pictures, local resources (like phone numbers and websites) and references. Best of all is the great stories and historical details included with each stop along the way. Its a guide for regular people that want to learn more about Boston. Will definitely have to take it along for the few stops that I missed along the way.

About the author

Steve Gladstone is a Boston-based writer and historian passionate about sharing history and travel in new, innovative ways.  This includes marrying traditional writing with photography, video, and Web 2.0 publishing techniques.  His latest endeavor, "Freedom Trail Boston - Ultimate Tour & History Guide - Tips, Secrets, & Tricks" combines the book with the web and Smartphone apps to create a unique multilingual travel experience.

Steve is a strong believer that the travel experience should be accessible to everyone, no matter what their means or native language. Travel should be exciting, educational, enticing, broadening, and fun.

One unique feature he has pioneered is auto-translate for travel guidebooks, which allows non-English speaking travelers to read in their native language. The reader clicks a link (in the ebook) or scans a QR code (in the print version). The link takes them to a web site where they select their desired language; then using a standard web translation engine, the chapter is then translated allowing the traveler to enjoy their visit as never before.
