The scene of the historic Boston Tea Party and the revolutionary battles of Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts was perhaps the most important of the original thirteen colonies. In more recent times, the state has become a center for the healthcare, education, and technology industries. This title, with a nice balance between the past and modern times, examines the role that Massachusetts has played in the history, economy, and culture of the United States.
