Sylvester Baxter

Sylvester Baxter (February 6, 1850[1]–1927) was an American newspaper writer, poet, and urban planner in the Boston area.

[3][4] In 1889 Baxter was one of the founders of the First Nationalist Club of Boston and was active in the political movement which attempted to steer economic and social change in accordance with the vision of novelist Edward Bellamy in his 1888 novel, Looking Backward: 2000-1887.

[5] Baxter was the secretary of the Metropolitan Improvement Commission of Boston,[6] and was greatly interested in transportation issues, including in particular the urban trolley system.

The translation into Spanish was published in 1934, including images by Henry Greenwood Peabody which were later part of the collection of images donated by Fondo Guillermo Tovar de Teresa to the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia.
