Market’s Tale

Quincy Market is a bustling commercial center and favorite tourist attraction on Boston’s historic waterfront. But few are aware of the history of this legendary public place and its importance in the history of Boston and the nation.

In Market’s Tale, Pasquale De Marco tells the absorbing story of the Market’s unique evolution over the centuries. Beginning with John Winthrop’s landing at the Great Cove on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630, Pasquale De Marco weaves together a remarkable tapestry of the district’s rise, fall, and rebirth. He describes how the site was transformed from open field courts that supplied foodstuffs to the early settlers in the town of Boston, to a maze of haphazard wharves and warehouses, to the elegant granite buildings and cobblestone concourses that house the area’s specialty shops, restaurants, boutiques, pushcarts, and food stalls.

Market’s Tale is more than just a history of a building or a marketplace. It is also a story of the people who have shaped the Market’s development, from the merchants and traders who first set up shop in the 17th century to the visionary architects and urban planners who have transformed the Market into a thriving center of commerce and culture.

Pasquale De Marco has written a book that is both informative and entertaining. Market’s Tale is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the history of Boston, architecture, food, or simply good storytelling.
