Sullivan County [New Hampshire] Recollections - Paperback

by Henry Metcalf (Author)

This work contains the recollections of Henry Harrison Metcalf (1841-1932) about Sullivan County, New Hampshire, revised and republished from The Argus-Champion. Henry Metcalf's detailed, descriptive personal account of the county's people and places is filled with names and relationships, along with a wealth of other genealogical and biographical information.

"In these 'Recollections' I have referred mainly to Men and Matters in those towns of Sullivan County in which I resided and with whom and which I was personally familiar, incidentally alluding to some other towns to which my knowledge and acquaintance extended. ... Sullivan County is small in territory and its population is correspondingly limited; but in its agricultural and manufacturing interests, and the possibilities of progress therein, as well as in the beauty and variety of its scenery and the healthfulness of its climate, it compares favorably with other counties or sections of the state or of any state. Out from its borders have gone in the past men and women who have done splendid work in all fields of activity; while those that have remained at home have proved worthy descendants of a noble ancestry." - Henry Harrison Metcalf.
