Excerpt from Memorial Encyclopedia of the State of New Hampshire

The State of New Hampshire affords a peculiarly interesting field for such research. Her soil has been the scene of events of importance and the home of some of the most illustrious men of the nation. Her sons have shed luster upon her name in every profession, and wherever they have dispersed they have been a power for ideal citizenship and good government. The province of the present publication is that of according due recognition to such leading and representative citizens, who have thus honored their State or community. Such a work cannot but have a large and intrinsic value, both in its historic utility and in the interest attaching to its subject-matter.
