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.

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.

The New Hampshire Seacoast has a wealth of overlooked history - some remnants are hidden in plain sight, while others are just plain hidden. Meet the minister and early religious founder who was involved in an armed confrontation in Dover with another preacher in 1640. Find out how a one-time high school assistant principal in Rochester became a world-famous business leader and ended up meeting President Grover Cleveland. Discover the story of "ghost" racetracks in Somersworth before they disappear, as well as the "pile of rocks" that stopped a multimillion-dollar building project in Windham. Author Terry Nelson reveals some of New England's most fascinating history, from Durham and Madbury to North Hampton and Portsmouth.
