  The Public Garden
  The Public Garden was established in 1837 when philanthropist Horace Gray [ [http://www.bahistory.org/HoraceGray.html Horace Gray: Father of the Boston Public Garden ] ] petitioned for the use of land as the first public botanical garden in the United States. Grey helped marshal political resistance to a number of Boston City Council attempts to sell the land in question, finally settling the issue of devoting it to the Public Garden in 1856.

  The Boston Massacre
  Background
  In 1767, with the end of the military threat from France, Britain imposed a series of taxes, culminating with the Townshend Acts, which proved unpopular in the colonies. Boston was a center of the resistance and the British sent troops in 1768 to protect Loyalist interests. General Thomas Gage ordered the 14th West Yorkshire Fusiliers and the 29th Regiment of Foot to Boston; they landed on October 1, 1768. The friction between the troops and the colonists grew from this point with several events most notably including the death of Christopher Seider on February 22, 1770.
