Book Description

Excerpt from The Barnstead Reunion: Celebrated at Barnstead, N. H. August 30, 1882 On the east lie the Blue Hills, on the north are the Alton and Gilmanton mountains, and on the south lies the Catamount, looking down on the valley of the Suncook river as it passes the west erly boundary of the town. It is a region of hill and valley, of beautiful rivers and ponds, and laughing brooks. A community born and educated amid such scenery, breathing the air of its hills and drink ing the waters that flow in hundreds of rills down its hillsides, till they form the Suncook, - must love their childhood home. For the past fifty years Barnstead has been sending out her sons and daughters to other parts of the land to find new homes. Its first emigrants found homes in Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York, and afterwards they sought Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. As new territory was opened.
