Roxbury s historical perspectiveBy D. P. BryantAnthony Sammarcos Images of America. Roxbury. is a terrific book that documents the historical development and significance of Roxbury. It was very interesting to read about the political leaders (hence streets named for them now!) who shaped MA and the township of Roxbury. Theres even a photo of the Tobin (AKA bridge!) family. Great fun reading for history buffs!
