Lost Davisville

Forgotten New Hampshire History

by

Fernanda Harrington

Illustrated by

Giselle and Fernanda Harrington

The lost history of Davisville, a village in New Hampshire, includes the ancient history of the Penacook Indians, the social and political struggle of early settlement, and the long period of decline that occurred throughout northern New England.  But rather than a history of mighty politicians and earth-shaking events, this is one of local characters in their everyday lives influenced by those larger events of the world beyond their village.  Many of the stories are about teenagers and the characteristic idealism, foibles, and wonderful spontaneity of youth.  Among these are Mary Woodwell who refused to walk to Canada with her Indian captors; John Bean who quit school to work the same day that President Roosevelt came to town; and Joseph Bonanno, who rode his bicycle down Interstate Highway 89 when the road was first constructed.  Their memorable accounts contribute a certain brightness, a greatness in itself, to the long, tragic chronicle of history.
