Publisher Description: Through the lens of a camera you will see Merrimack in the 1800s, and watch as a farming community becomes an industrial town. You will view the arrival of the railroad, which brought new industry and immigrants to the area, and witness the impact of the automobile. You will meet Admiral Forrest Sherman, Judge Charles Morrill, and the Minstrel of Merrimack, and experience the work and wonders of daily life as it has been lived here over the past century. With more than two hundred photographs woven together with detailed and informative captions, this fascinating book will take you on a journey of discovery into Merrimack s past. It is a voyage that is well worth making, and one that you will never forget." |
