- Frank West Rollins, governor of New Hampshire from 1899 to 1901, instituted the state's Old Home Week and wrote a number of novels and short stories that explored the relative values of country versus city life. Rollins, whose ideas reflected Progressive attitudes of his day, experienced life in both rural New Hampshire and in large American cities. Old Home Week was a way of promoting the Progressive values embodied in his writings and encouraging former New Hampshire residents to reinvigorate their home state.
