The most comprehensive account of the Great Blizzard of 1978 in New England, this book contains more than 130 dramatic photos from all across the region. Pictures range from the devastating flooding along the coast to the mountains of snow that paralyzed inland communities, including the 3,500 vehicles stranded on Route 128. 
The record-setting storm's impact on the area is explored through first-hand accounts from survivors, relief workers and former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, among others. 
Painstakingly researched and profusely illustrated, this book will stir memories of those who lived through the storm and will educate those too young to remember it. 
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Storm of the Century" will be donated to the Fort Revere Park &amp; Preservation Society, a non-profit organization that supports the Fort Revere historic site and military history museum overlooking Boston Harbor in Hull, Mass.

Dr. William M. Bergan's classic book provided a unique glimpse into the history of Hull, Mass. when first published in 1968, and its appeal has only grown since. This commemorative edition is a 2004 reprint of the author's original work, which brings to life the people and places that made the Town of Hull and Nantasket Beach famous in the early 20th century. 
With a touch of humor, plenty of anecdotes and wonderful old photogrpahs, "Old Nantasket" allows readers to experience the grandeur of the huge hotels, the majesty of Paragon Park and the luxury of the side-paddle steamboats that shuttled visitors to and from Boston. 
Life in "Old Nantasket" had its share of corruption, con men and shady politics, and Doc Bergan doesn't shy away from describing those aspects in detail. A former Hull selectman, he provides fascinating insights into the inner workings of the local government, including the rise and fall of the political machine known as the "Old Ring."
