Sometimes you have to stand back, way-way back, from a great big piece of architecture to see it clearly. Still, we were surprised to read one of the best articles on our endangered Memorial Bridge in a recent issue of the Hartford Courant. If Connecticut can see our bridge from down there, there’s hope that Maine’s Governor John Baldacci can see its value from his office way up in Augusta. Reporter William Morgan had a lot of nice things to say about our beloved bridge, so I asked him why. (Continued below)

On July 4, 1809 Fort McClary in New Castle exploded. Soldiers accidentlly set off explosives while preparing for a holiday tribute and ten men were killed. Locals plan an impromptu gathering at the fort (without explosives this time) to remember the event 200 years later.

It’s a good day for history when a long dead character finally gets her story told in an important publication. Our copy of HISTORICAL NEW HAMPSHIRE arrived today (Vol 63, No 1) with Carolyn Marvin’s detailed telling of the hanging of Ruth Blay on December 30, 1768. The story of the last woman executed in NH has long been the buzz of Portsmouth historians, but accounts were fuzzy and no reporter had really done her homework – until now. After a year of research and months of writing, Marvin’s 20-page study is now the most comprehensive source available.

NEW PHOTOS ADDED: This was our tenth (or maybe 11th) season as stewards on Smuttynose Island and by far the most revealing. The details will all be fleshed out in an essay, but until then, the upshot is, that there was definitely prehistoric activity on the Shoals. A small group of arrowheads found deep in the bottom of an archeological test pit makes it official. I was standing nearby when the digger made the discovery last week. (Continued below)

A week after seeing the imitation Beatles band RAIN at the Portsmouth Music Hall, I’m still suffering from posttraumatic stress. I know they were not the real Beatles, but with my poor eyesight and their wealth of musical talent, the tribute concert seems to have triggered a cascade of feelings and memories. That always happens when I listen to the Beatles. It goes with the territory of being a Baby Boomer that each song in the catalog conjures a memory. But to see hundreds of grayhairs bumping and grinding to a band that looks and sounds like the real thing – that was a revelation. (continued below)

Today Pete Robie put the final touches on our new kitchen. The renovation would have taken just a month, except for a tiny two-inch spacer that added a week to the project. My wife, Maryellen is over the moon. She has been wanting to do this since we moved into our historic Atlantic Heights house a decade ago. Only one thing made us sad. To rebuild the kitchen counters, we had to destroy a “secret hiding place” created by a former owner. (Continued below)

The other day, while lecturing in Brentwood, I must have mentioned that I was working on a book about the War of 1812. In my talk, I also referenced the Daniel Webster House in Portsmouth. After the talk, during the cake and conversation period, Albert Edward Belanger, introduced himself. Assembling all those random details like a man-made molecule, he said – “Did you know that Daniel Webster kicked off his political career by giving a speech about the War of 1812 right here in Brentwood?” I did not know that. So when I went home, I looked it up. (Continued below)
