Monumental Man: Solomon Willard, Architect and Superintendent of the Bunker Hill Monument

Thomas Willard

An historical fiction of the life of Solomon Willard, the architect and superintendent of the Bunker Hill Monument. This book chronicles how a farmer's son with only a grammar-school education traveled from Petersham to Boston by stagecoach at the age of twenty-one and acquired all the skills he'd need to rise to become one of the preeminent architects of Boston, and how, through a myriad of technical, political, and financial problems, he unwaveringly applied all those skills to build the tallest building then in the country, the Bunker Hill Monument.
