NH in the Revolution

Each of the 13 original colonies has its Revolutionary war heroes and heroines. New Hampshire is especially proud of its important role in the founding of the United States. Our raid on Fort William and Mary was among the first armed conflicts, four months prior to Lexington and Concord. Three locals signed the Declaration. A Portsmouth leader built one of the first ships in the Continental Navy. Here they are, and other key players.
