Publisher Description: The southern villages of Haverhill follow the course of the Oliverian Brook, with its winding banks that originate in the foothills of the White Mountains and pour into the mouth of the Connecticut River. Haverhill and East Haverhill explores the growth of these dynamic riverside communities, from the early days of exploration to the glory of the industrial age, when the village of Pike was once the whetstone capital of the world. Beginning in the hamlet of East Haverhill and meandering through to Haverhill Corner, the villages along the brook are marked by an abundance of natural resources and an unwavering Yankee spirit. This book celebrates the passions, struggles, and enterprise of the men and women who came before. |
