Book Examines Boston-New York Rivalry in Subway Construction

A new nonfiction book, The Race Underground: Boston, New York and the Incredible Rivalry That Built America’s First Subway by Doug Most, was recently published by St. Martin’s Press.

In the author’s words: “It’s a non-fiction historical narrative that tells the great story of these amazing cities experiencing enormous growth from immigration and becoming dangerously overcrowded. They looked for relief by expanding their transit systems and eventually digging America’s first subways. Boston opened [its first subway line] in 1897, New York in 1904.”

More information about the book is available at the author's website.
