“Independence: A Guide To Historic Philadelphia”

By George W. Boudreau

Ed Mauger, a founding member of the Association of Philadelphia Tour Guides – who has since passed away – considered this the best book of the Old City/Society Hill areas.

It’s where I first learned that Philadelphia prohibited smoking in the famous Market in 1722, as well as in the streets. The book is both interesting and informative.

Please let me know what you think of it.
