Boston Common in 1910 sat at the heart of a city of about 670,000 people, the largest in New England, and its 50 acres still served as the common ground for the crowds that worked and shopped nearby. The Boston Elevated Railway, formed in 1897, had by then drawn the outlying neighborhoods into a dense network of trolleys and elevated lines, so on a fine afternoon the paths were full of clerks, mill hands and families who had ridden in from Roxbury, Dorchester and Charlestown. Its ponds and lawns drew skaters in winter and strollers in summer, while politicians and civic groups used the grounds for rallies and ceremonies. For the families packed into the North and West Ends, the Common was less a park than a place to breathe.
