Vol. 3 A capital for New Hampshire

Description:

Chapter 26 describes the major changes Concord experienced from its early settlement to its eventual role as the state capital. It highlights the 1782 assembly that solidified the town’s place as the capital, due to its central location between the sea coast and the new towns along the Connecticut River. The chapter also details Asa McFarland’s role as a minister, the establishment of rival banks in the north and south ends, and the rise of early newspapers. An index of names precedes the chapter.
