Antique Maps of The United States - New Hampshire CD: Antique Maps of The United States New Hampshire CD |
| Product Description : Possibly, it is only American states that have such a fascinating gauntlet of individual histories. This country is so vast that practically all of them had to be discovered singly. My family resides in New Hampshire and we are constantly enthralled by the richness of its past. In fact, I have a quote by Captain John Smith of England who has surveyed New Hampshire sometime around 1624 - "Here should be no landlords to rack us with high rents, or extorted fines to consume us. Here every man may be a master of his own labor and land in a short time. The sea there is the strangest pond I ever saw. What sport doth yield a more pleasant content and less hurt or charge than angling with a hook, and crossing the sweet air from isle to isle over the silent streams of a calm sea?" Well, New Hampshire may or may not have lived up to the good captain's high expectations, but it has certainly seen its portion of stormy weather. I wish more would share my ongoing interest in the history of New Hampshire. Have you ever wondered where its towns get their quaint names from? Towns were occasionally named after prominent citizens, many of who bore the historic names of English royalty, while others were named after Dutch settlers who came from places like New York and settled in New Hampshire. This and other interesting trivia comes to mind as I browse through the fascinating Antique Maps of the US - New Hampshire CD from A2ZCDS. I earnestly hope that others will find it as engrossing as I do. |
