It Happened in New Hampshire
From a bizarre French and Indian War battle to the state's first impeachment trial, It Happened in New Hampshire looks at intriguing people and episodes from the history of the Granite State. Relive the humorous, not-so-adventurous "camping" trip by a group of America's most famous industrial titans in 1919, whose necessities included a personal chef and an electric generator. Find out how one woman's kind act toward a young Native American years later spared her and her children from certain death during a ruthless revenge attack on settlers in a Dover garrison. Learn how concern to protect the White Mountains from environmental degradation contributed to the establishment of national forests across the United States. Discover how a fearless force of thirty soldiers refused surrender and sucessfully held off an army of 700 French militia and Indian allies at a remote outpost. Read about how two colonial governors--who, coincidentally, were close relatives--shocked their citizens with nearly equally scandalous, completely unexpected marriages. [AU bio tk]

The Stillman Family
Mr. George Stillman (b.ca1654-1728) was probably born at Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, England. Previous research indicates that Mr. George Stillman was a descendant of the Styleman family of Steeple Ashton. He emigrated to the colonies and settled first at Hadley, Mass. in 1690 or earlier. He was a widower and left sons George and Samuel in England. His first wife (1) Lady Jane Pickering died at sea. He married (2) Rebecca Smith, at Hadley. They moved to Wethersfield, Connecticut at the time of King Phillip's War. He established his son John in his mercantile business, gave Benjamin a Yale education, gave Nathaniel a homestead and helped his daughters. His eldest son George received 100 pounds plus previous gifts. Dr. George Stillman (1679-1760) was born in England and was trained a tailor. But he also studied medicine and became a doctor. He married Deborah Crandall at Westerly, Rhode Island in 1706. Several generations of descendants are given.

How Places Make Us
Maybe we've had enough of studies of gay men and urban centers, tracing out the similarities from one place to the next. Japonica Brown-Saracino bucks the trend, giving us the first in-depth study of lesbians (and bisexual/queer women more generally), showing how four contrasting communal cultures have shaped their identity. Individual lesbian residents shape the culture of sexual identity they embrace, based at the same time on the prevailing culture in the city they inhabit. And the consequence is that the same woman will develop a different version of lesbian identity depending on which of the four cities she moves into. Those cities are: Ithaca, New York; San Luis Obispo, California; Gre...
