More Tales from the Comb City
Leominster is a community to be valued. Nestled among the picturesque rolling hills of North Central Massachusetts, Leominster has long set itself apart from the ordinary. Home to a wide variety of personalities who dreamed, innovated, and set standards; Leominster has always been a special place.
In Leominster Chronicles II, local historian Mark Bodanza has once again captured many examples of the special qualities of Leominster and its people over the ages. Forty short stories and more than one hundred historic photographs are as varied as the epochs that make up the three-century history of a town that bears a name that no one really knows the origin of. And that’s pure Leominster. Steeped in mystery and the unexpected, Leominster has often been a place that has made great contributions to history.
Enjoy the stories of your hometown, your new town or a place that draws your interest.
In his latest collection, Mark Bodanza brings to life many of the people and places that make Leominster’s history so compelling. Some stories will be familiar, but many are sure to leave even his most loyal readers saying, “I didn’t know that!” With his trademark wit and engaging style, Mark’s latest book offers a refreshing escape from the day’s events and an invitation to dig deeper into the history of the hometown beloved by so many of us.
