 LITERARY LIONS
As Edward Stanton said on Lincoln’s demise" "Now he belongs to the angels." Or was that "ages"? That is exactly the kind of wordplay in which Robert Dunn reveled. His departure at age 65 has left Portsmouth sad, but his poetry will leave us forever amused. And wherever Robert is – he too, we know for sure – is as amused as ever.

BAD BOY TOM
Opened in 1908, the Thomas Bailey Aldrich Memorial is New Hampshire’s longest-surviving museum. It is a literary shrine to a single novel – The Story of a Bad Boy. This walking tour is presented by Aldrich’s widow Lilian who created the museum. A century after it opened, the tour is literally unchanged, at Strawbery Banke.

 SEACOAST ARTISTS
He was a man on a mission. After retiring to Portsmouth, artist Harry S. Harlow painted every major colonial doorway in the Piscataqua region – at least 200 all told. Today his highly accurate work has become an important tool for those studying the architecture of bygone days, and grand homes that are often lost to history.

 BAD BOY TOM
In his day, Aldrich was best known for his lyrical and romantic poetry, but his verse is now considered only among the most minor of poets. His reputation stands almost entirely on one bold American novel. This bio comes from an early 20th century collection.
