Portsmouth Furniture by Diane Carlberg Ehrenpreis Pdf

This important book, the result of discoveries made during an exhaustive survey of Portsmouth furniture at more than 210 sites throughout the country, places the furniture makers of Portsmouth alongside those of Newport, Boston, Philadelphia, and New York as creators of some of the finest early American furniture. The Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (SPNEA), a regional museum with more than forty properties, owns seven historic houses in the Portsmouth area. The objects in these houses constitute the largest collection of Portsmouth furniture anywhere. The present volume results from intensive study of SPNEA's Portsmouth holdings, surviving documents, and objects in both private and public collections. The research has uncovered much about the mercantile aristocracy that purchased and used the furniture and about the community of craftsmen who adapted English designs to satisfy their customers' tastes. With essays on the social history of Portsmouth, furniture production in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and entries for 117 objects, the book provides the first comprehensive study of the defining characteristics of Portsmouth furniture from 1670 to 1840.

Portsmouth, New Hampshire by Anonim Pdf

Along New Hampshire's tiny, 18-mile coastline, at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, is a unique seaport city, replete with stunning coastal beauty, authentic New England charm, and well-steeped in American history.Located just 50 miles north of Boston, Portsmouth is a lively hub whose coastal beauty, outstanding restaurants, art galleries, theatre, and endless cultural treasures can be found all along its pedestrian-friendlydowntown. One of the country's most popular tourist destinations, it's fitting that The National Trust for Historic Preservation included Portsmouth on its list of America's Dozen Distinctive Destinations.Yet, with all its downtown vibrance, Portsmouth is also immersed in unique natural wonder and charming small-town flavor. It is a place where still creeks and quiet inlets reflect crystal blue skies and gently swaying grasses, inspiring artists and poets alike. A place where the sound of crashing waves and the distant hum of commercial fishing boats evoke the character of locals who share a strong sense of community. A place where the past is preserved in well-worn brick, and the future is paved with an industrious and energetic populous.From hard-working tugboats, to the freshest seafood, to weathered fish shacks, and more, photographerPhilip Case Cohen captures the essence of this alluring place in vivid detail. Season after season, at work and at play, Portsmouth, New Hampshire is a New England gem like no other.

Black Portsmouth by Mark Sammons,Valerie Cunningham Pdf

Few people think of a rich Black heritage when they think of New England. In the pioneering book Black Portsmouth, Mark J. Sammons and Valerie Cunningham celebrate it, guiding the reader through more than three centuries of New England and Portsmouth social, political, economic, and cultural history as well as scores of personal and site-specific stories. Here, we meet such Africans as the "likely negro boys and girls from Gambia," who debarked at Portsmouth from a slave ship in 1758, and Prince Whipple, who fought in the American Revolution. We learn about their descendants, including the performer Richard Potter and John Tate of the People’s Baptist Church, who overcame the tragedies and challenges of their ancestors’ enslavement and subsequent marginalization to build communities and families, found institutions, and contribute to their city, region, state, and nation in many capacities. Individual entries speak to broader issues—the anti-slavery movement, American religion, and foodways, for example. We also learn about the extant historical sites important to Black Portsmouth—including the surprise revelation of an African burial ground in October 2003—as well as the extraordinary efforts being made to preserve remnants of the city’s early Black heritage.

Historic Crimes & Justice in Portsmouth, New Hampshire by Dr. David Ferland Pdf

The first courts handled crimes like lying, idleness and card playing with punishments that ranged from fines to public whipping to death by hanging. Constables kept order until Portsmouth's first police officer took up the shield in 1800. But no force could keep all crime at bay. The court sentenced the beautiful, educated Ruth Blay to hanging on shaky evidence that she might have killed her baby. Business magnate Frank Jones played corrupt politics, succumbed to extramarital temptations and helped make Water Street the red-lighted rum hole destination of the eastern seaboard. Mischievous sailors came into port looking to spend their money, finding ample opportunity in Portsmouth's bowery bordellos. Retired Portsmouth police officer David "Lou" Ferland traces the history of Portsmouth crime and justice from the first courts to today's award-winning police department.
