The Rise of Lynn as a Great Shoe City in 18th Century
The article traces Lynn Massachusetts origins from cordwinders and tanning on Burrill street to early shoemaking. It notes the Burrill tannery, first Lynn shoemaker Philip Kertland, iron works of 1615, and the town’s growth aided by Ebenezer Breed and the Breed, Johnson, and Burrill families. It highlights Rev War activity, protective tariffs, 1800s manufacturing surge, the Salem and Boston turnpike, population growth, and the shift to steam and machinery in modern times.

Why MWe Paid Him Attention at the Lindell
The passage recalls a tale of a Missouri stock raiser and his wife aboard a westbound train to St Louis. A Boston woman attracted by the husband’s attention provokes a tense exchange while the Missouri man resists, leading to a sharp rebuke about pursuing his wife. A separate anecdote recounts Sala’s awkward encounter with the king of Spain, aided by Gallenga, to wipe waxy faces with candles during a wintry escort.
