    A History of the Preservation Movement
    in the

    Boston, militant architects Charles F. McKim and Fiske Kimball, the Pell, Levy, and
    Touro families, the legislature of New York, the City of Philadelphia, the legions
    of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Native Sons and
    Daughters of the Golden West.
