TOTALS FROM THE COUNTING HOUSE
Thanks as always for Seacoast Rambles, ("Dynamite in the Rock Pasture"), the best read of the Sunday morning papers, and some of the best writing on the Seacoast, anywhere, anytime. We have five issues of the New Hampshire Gazette reverently stored and catalogued in our collection at the Counting House Museum. No idea how they came to South Berwick, but I never lose the
awe of beholding a newspaper that old.
I never really knew anything about the New Hampshire Gazette. Our earliest copy is a single sheet of an issue in 1766, which I now learn from your article was only ten years into the life of the paper (kind of like an issue from this week of USA Today?). The page measures only 9.5" x 14.3,"
but the rag paper quality was so good in those days that is has held up better than some from two centuries later.
And sure enough, there are Daniel Fowle and Robert Fowle named as its "printers." (No mention of Primus.) Nothing too inflammatory in the1766 issue, but there is an interesting notice of a lecture series to be held in Portsmouth on "a courfe of experiments in that Inftructive and
Entertaining Branch of natural philosopy called Elictricity." Clearly the paper was way out in front even then.
Our other copies are from 1783, with news of terms of a peace treaty between England and France; 1805, on arson suspected in Portsmouth, news from the Caribbean and Congress, and a "lost and found" item, a Piscataqua gundalow found adrift (spelled "gondola" and of interest to us
because our museum has the Seacoast's most complete collection of gundalow models); 1815, with sailing notices from the Port of Portsmouth; and 1838, national and political news featuring Indian affairs, Martin Van Buren, and
Daniel Webster.
We also have a great number of issues from the 1830s of a paper called the New Hampshire Patriot and State Gazette, published in Concord by a Cyrus Barton. Wonder if that was part of the original Gazette's"Continuing" evolution that metamorphosized into the Portsmouth Herald. I don't know why it is that seeing the flesh and fiber of an old newspaper gives a feeling of proximity to an era that no modern history book can give. I hope someone is stockpiling Steve Fowle's editions on CD ROM for future generations to sense the real fumes and flavors of Portsmouth in the 1990s!

THE WORLDS' LONGEST BOOK TITLE?
Samuel Penhallow wrote a history and is frequently quoted in Emma Coleman's New England Captives Carried to Canada. Do you know the name of the book Penhallow wrote that Coleman quotes so often?
Pat ebook@tiac.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: Yes. We found the book, published in 1859 sitting right on the shelf of the Portsmouth Library. Hang onto your bermudas, 'cause here comes the whole title: The History of the Wars of New-England with the Eastern Indians, or a Narrative of Their Continued Perfidy and Cruelty, From the 10th of August, 1703, To the Peace renewed 13th of July, 1713, And from the 25th of July, 1722, To their Submission 15th December, 1725, Which was ratified August 5th, 1726m -- By Samuel Penhallow, Esqr.. We won't comment on the horrible implications of the title, but you can read the 1713 treaty on our site at: http://www.seacoastnh.com/history/colonial/treaty.html

ODIORNE ON-LINE
I am enjoying the site, but I originally came here to find info on the Odiorne family. I am a direct descendant of Nathaniel Odiorne, and can't find him mentioned by name, or any information on the family [Deliverance Odiorne]. I would like to know where to go in New Hampshire to find out more.
Terry
terjanw@aol.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: Using our homepage Search Engine we found about 20 Odiorne references, but little on the family. We have a great old article in our files on the take-over of the family farm by eminent domain that appeared 20 years ago in the defunct NH Times. You should check with the Seacoast Science Center which occupies the site now, with the State of NH which runs the park there, with the NH Historical Society, Portsmouth Library, Rye Historical Society, Rye Library and Portsmouth Athenaeum. There is a ton of material to be had in those archives. Charles Brewster's comments are clickable below: http://www.seacoastnh.com/brewster/85.html

NOT A LONE "RANGER"?
I am researching boats named "Ranger" because of a link between a direct ancestor and a boat named the Ranger.
The history that I have, from DAR papers, says that Captain James Montgomery of Philadelphia captained an armed boat, called the Ranger, in April 1776. From what I have ascertained, after visiting your fine web site, is that
the Ranger of JP Jones' fame was fitted out in 1777 which seems to say that this was not the same Ranger that Captain James Montgomery commanded in April 1776.
Do you have any idea of whether there was a Ranger prior to JP Jones?
Bridget of Phoenix, AZ harv@uswest.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: We're not scholars, but seems likely you have another ship there. The only book on "our" Ranger is by Joe Sawtelle (in our book section of online Seacoast Store). Yours too was likely named for Robert Rogers of Roger's Rangers, the famous "Indian fighter" who married a woman from Portsmouth. http://www.seacoastnh.com/jpj/ranger.html http://www.seacoastnh.com/jpj/heroic.html

MEMORIAL BRIDGE MEMORIES
I just arrived back in California last night after a visit to my hometown there and just now read your column on the Memorial Bridge, one of my favorite spots. As a kid it always scared me to cross it, and I never would alone -- the rattles, shakes and hums of it all, no doubt. I grew up hearing from my mother: "I should have thrown you off the Memorial Bridge when you were born!" -- with just cause, I might add. I really enjoyed the column and wish I could have seen you spinning "like a toothpick in a toilet"! I now make a trip across the bridge a mandatory part of each visit to the Port City.

HAMPTON PRE- MORANG
Just wanted to say once again how much i enjoy your site. Having been one of the "Hampton Union" newspapers photographers from the past, BRM (before Ralph Morang), I really enjoy the photos and bios in the gallery. Would like to see more. It's so refreshing to think back about the beauty of our seacoast and all the wonderful fun and adventures it has brought to so many, keep up the good work. Can't wait to get back and show my family around.

HOPES WE WILL CONTINUE
I visited Portsmouth from August 12 through 19, staying at the Ashford in Hampton Beach. Your site was a wonderful resource prior to my visit. As a result, I enjoyed wonderful meals at Muddy Rivers Smokehouse, Saunders at
Rye, and Warrens in Kittery. Portsmouth is beautiful, lots of interesting things to do and see. What I could have done without was the overpriced and less than satisfactory Gulley Hatch and the Ashworth. You're providing a great service for the public and I hope you're able to continue it.

TROLLEY TALK, TAKE 2
I love your website. There is so much info. I cant wait to get down and visit there. I believe I got to ride one of your trolleys during the balloon fest In Maine at Auburn-Lewiston. The driver's name was Dena. She was a wonderful driver and so friendly. Have never ridden on
a trolley before; it was awesome. Please let me know if that is one of your drivers and trolleys.
Bethanie
EDITOR'S REPLY: Four separate companies run the trolleys in this region. Your region has its own. If you think a fake trolley is cool, try a REAL one on real tracks at the Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine nearby. Their weekend sunset ride is only $2.50! Check their web page right now. Ding!

SUMMER'S END QUESTION CAVALCADE
Going to the coast next week staying in Exeter. Is there a place to rent skijets along the coast somewhere, pontoon boats or power boats. And do they allow small dogs on the trolleys and the beaches?
Ward
wardc72113@aol.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: Those noisesome vehicles can be rented at Hampton Beach Jet Ski Rental, 1 Ocean Blvd, (603) 929-9911 and New England Parasail and Jet Ski Rental, 23 Harbor Rd, Hampton (603) 929-4174.We see dogs at Rye and Hampton, but each beach has its own rules. Tiny dogs may be OK on trolleys if they fit in your lap.
August 24
HOT TO TROLLEY
I was just curious if they still use trolleys at Hampton Beach??
jelliebean7@hotmail.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: They call them trolleys, although they are more free-ranging look-alikes. No more unsightly electric cables, just motorized red versions that travel all the way to the Kittery Mall and back in season. How could you miss our giant online Trolley section, Jellybean? http://www.seacoastnh.com/trolleys/ http://www.seacoastnh.com/hamptonbeach/

NJ WANTS TEAM T-SHIRT
I've just moved to New Hampshire from New Jersey. A friend of mine inNew Jersey is interested in something (a shirt, cap, mug) with your logon it (Apparently, he's heard of the team and likes the name). Send any information on where I can buy such merchandise.
johanna jlarkin@earthlink.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: SeacoastNH.com T-shirts are in our Seacoast Store as always. But I get the feeling you may be talking about UNH, since our "team" isn't a household word. Wanted to send you right to the T-shirts link at the UNH Campus Bookstore in the MUB, but got lost in the UNH web site. Since we already spent four years adrift at that campus, we can't afford it again. So here, at least, is the UNH campus homepage. Happy shopping. http://www.seacoastnh.com/cgi-local/shop.pl/page=index.html http://www.unh.edu/

EDITOR'S REPLY: We are very happy to put a link to such fascinating primary source documents. This is a superb use of the INternet for historians. We've heard JPJ attended Masons while here in Portsmouth, but no such documentation exists that we know of here. See our very Americanized version of JPJ in our latest article: http://www.seacoastnh.com/jpj/movie.html

LOVED THEIR SEACOAST VISIT ONLINE AND OFF!
Having just returned from a 4 day visit to your area, I just wanted to thank you for the great info i received via your site. My husband and i were able to find our way around easily. We enjoyed your area very much. We especially were impressed with the motel we chose via your site. The Pebble Cove Motel was a perfect spot, centrally located in Rye, NH on Ocean Blvd -- beautiful pool, rooms with a small kitchen, and exceptionally clean -- a great bargain!!!!

WEIGHT OF WATER CLUB
Our book club is doing an in depth review of this book. Could you direct me to a source where I can conduct some research - i.e. Book reviews,reference books, etc.
John M jmoffatt@archerent.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: You couldn't get much more info than on our Smuttynose Murder theme site which has a dozen articles on the REAL murder. For links to Anita's book (other than a web Search) you might start with the publisher at Little Brown. Their page is linked below and includes references and questions for discussion -- and a link back to us! If you get a nice list of web references, we'd be glad to add a links page to our site.

OKAY, EVERYBODY -- SEND HER A CARD!
Hi NH - I was at the beach today with my best friend whom I used to go to Hampton every year with growing up 20 years ago and enjoyed reminiscing. We even met our first boyfriend there and my mom met her first husband there too. I now have a 7 month old child and started a postcard collection of all the places we go and write on it the description of the day and put it in a special box so he will have many memories later in life. However it stormed today and I never got to get the postcard and was hoping you would be kind enough to send me one so I can add to the collection. I'll be happy to reimburse you. It would mean a lot and will probably become historic. Thank you in advance for this big favor. Please send a blank card to the following address as I would forever greatly appreciate it and continue to vacation at Hampton as it really is my favorite seaside playground.

MISSILE FROM THE ROCK PASTURE
Greetings to the region's latest medium, from its earliest: the New Hampshire Gazette; the Nation's Oldest Newspaper ™.
We're on the web these days, too, of course. We try not to let our age hold us back. The many readers of your admirable website are invited to visit us.
Anyone of them interested in preventing the further deterioration of the parking situation in Portsmouth might want to check out our piece on the Rock Pasture. Attendance at a public hearing Thursday night might make a difference.
Yours truly,

MISSING A MEAL?
I was looking at your web page and I noticed a lot of restaurants from the Portsmouth area are missing. How did you decide which restaurants to put on? Is there a fee to be on your web page?
PattyPP5@aol.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: Just over two years ago we made a bold decision that SeacoastNH.com would not charge a monthly link fee like other sites to be listed in our Dining Directory. Then we wrote and called nearly 200 Seacoast restaurants, at our expense, to get all the facts we could and hook up free links. We still stand behind this policy, although we do charge a one-time $50 registration fee when a new restaurant is added. That includes the free link. Have we gotten a single thank you letter from any restaurant, even though some are paying hundreds of dollars for links elsewhere? Nope. Our fee is $200 less than the annual cost to join a chamber and our Dining pages are among the most highly accessed pages on the site. Sure, we're taking the high ground on this one but we're bound to dine well in heaven when we go.

SUSSE MISS OR SUSSE HIT?
I am visiting Portsmouth in September and am staying at the
Susse Chalet Inn. Will I be able to purchase a Harbour Trail Guide there or are they available somewhere at the beginning of the Walking trail?
W.F. Scott wfscott@wmis.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: Marge Hubbard, executive director of the Harbour Trail is going to check for you. The Chalet had copies, but may be out of stock. If so, you can pick them up at the Chamber of Commerce, at the chamber booth in Market Square or simply order yours by mail from our web site. Just be sure to note that you want it ASAP before your departure date. And don't forget to pick up the newly released Harbour Trail board game and a 375th Harbour Trail t-shirt for the trip home! How's that for subtle sales? http://www.seacoastnh.com/harbourtrail/index.html

RELIC HUNTING ALLOWED?
(1) Is relic hunting allowed on any of the Isles? (2) Please contact w/ any information on any groups that may hunt on the Isles if it is permissible.
HaStamper@aol.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: We're going to go out on a limb here and say "no" based on general knowledge. Appledore Island is a Cornell/UNH marine lab, Star is privately owned by the Unitarian Church, Smuttynose and Cedar are Lunging are privately owned, and the rest of the Isles are mostly birds and rocks. Only Star welcomes the public and only if they arrive in season on the ferry stop-over daytrip. A recent Foster's front page article exhumed the legend of Blackbeard's treasure and was picked up by the national press, but it's old news around here. We know of no relic hunters around here, but many preservation societies including ISHRA that promotes Isles history. http://www.fosters.com/news98b/july/05/do0705a.htm http://www.seacoastnh.com/shoals/map.html

NATURAL BORN KILLER
My grandparents said that we were directly related to John Paul Jones but that he was a killer and had to change his name. I need to find out if I am related to him. Thank you for your help.
Ron John Paul childes@webtv.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: Congratulations, you are the first person who has asked that question and is NOT named Jones. You'll have to trace your own family tree back to Scotland where John Paul was born. Since he had no children and his sisters' children, we assume, received their father's surnames, seems pretty unlikely you are related to either the "killer" US naval hero or the Pope named John Paul. Only through a lot of genealogical research will the answer be known.

ENDEAVOUR FIELD TRIP PLANNED
I work at York Middle School. Recently, my principal received a letter telling about the Endeavor coming to Portsmouth and tours that can be set up Sept. 11-21. I am interested in setting up a field trip for our entire 5th grade (180 students).
Suzi M at York Middle School cucklbutn@cybertours.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: Your message is now in the hands of the Maritime Heritage Committee of the Portsmouth Chamber which is coordinating the arrival of the 18th century research vessel that once toured the world with Capt. Cook. You reminded us that we must get going on our own 375th Endeavour pages since the gala visit of the ship is on its way.

BERNIE'S PARENTS CHECK IN
Went to Portsmouth last weekend and caught striped Bass in the River. Usually we stay at the Sise Inn, but this weekend we stayed with our kids. Portsmouth is a great city, friendly and safe. We have visited the John Paul Jones Museum, Strawbery Banke (at least 50 times!) and am amazed at the wealth of historic materials on display throughout the city. Our son, Bernie, is a Captain of Firefighters with the Portsmouth Fire Department and we are mighty proud of him. Love that City!!

WEARE TO GO
I have recently come into some early New Hampshire documents including the genealogy of the Weare family including such items as the wallet of one Nathan Weare dated 1776. Also a letter in code, to Lieut. Nathan Weare in Camp at Saratoga from a M. Weare in Philadelphia dated July 26, 1782. There is also an early copy of the Declaration of Independence . Also, another letter from - or to- Thomas W. Weare. My question is simply where should I go to research and find info. and perhaps buyers for these papers, etc.?
John E j_eastman@conknet
EDITOR'S REPLY: Very cool, but we don't yet tamper with the buying and selling of local history. You may want to contact the NH Historical Society, maybe not for buying, but for donationing. Then, we suggest, you track down the genealogy sites for the Weare family. Let us know how you fare. http://www.nhhistory.org/

BAITS MOTEL
hello. I think you should provide more motel information also on your web page.
james@map.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: So did we, but after calling every motel in the Seacoast to explain the idea and solicit funds, we changed our minds and went with one solid directory (see below). We are an independent volunteer site and this is a giant effort that should be coordinated through local chambers of commerce, we think. See August 3 letter below for more of same discussion. http://www.seacoastnh.com/touring/motels.html

Bear with us -- we're working on a high-tech instant-reply system for FAQs. In the interim, here is the Star Island Corp info you need which was hidden in our Star Island Hotlinks page.

Just had to tell you how much I enjoyed the story of the shop keeper who refused to sell the power ball tickets. Called my husband in to read that one, too, and I wish you could have heard him laugh.

BLUEFISH REPORT
I would like to know if the blue fish are running, and where the best place is to go to catch them in the state of NH. Thanks
Curt viola@togther.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: Biologist Bruce Smith of the Region 3 Fisheries in Durham tells us this is the bluefish season in August, though he has not heard raves yet on the catch this season. He suggests contacting the party boars out of Hampton and Rye that fish for "blues" around the Isles of Shoals. (We've added a couple of links below.) Bruce says you can spot people fishing bluefish, since they often use a balloon to lift the line away from the boat. He says some people like to eat bluefish, but others don't find it appealing, though it is a good scrappy game fish. http://www.deepseafishing-nh.com/ http://www.eastmansdocks.com/

LODGING RATES NOT ONLINE
I was wondering if you could email me back how much it would cost for a night at the Ashworth, Kentville, and Sands. If you could also give me additional information on prices on hotels and motels it would be greatly appreciated thank you
Mike Paqu44@aol.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: We checked again with the chamber and it appears there is no centralized way to get room rates for Hampton Beach hotels or motels. You have to contact each one individually. Since only about 25% of them are open year round, there are precious few online. Since we give them all a FREE listing, we have the best Hampton hotlink directory on the Internet. Looks like you have to resort to the dreaded telephone!

SEAFOOD SHOOT-OUT
Does Portsmouth have on-the-wharf lobster restaurants like Maine does, where the lobster boats come in and the atmosphere is casual?
linda lovely@gisco.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: Ayup. You can see the proof by checking links here to BG's, Pier 2, Saunders. You might also check the deck at Gino's, Warren's, Wannamaker, and others. Remember, we have an 18 mile coastline to Maine's 3,500 miles of coastal roads. We may be the restaurant capital of the Northeast, but be fair! http://www.seacoastnh.com/touring/seafood.html
