Portsmouth: New Hampshire's Colonial Capital

by John and Nancy Grossman

It seems that Nancy and John Grossman just can't stop plumbing the depths of their adopted hometown. In 2005, it was Nancy's The Placenames of Portsmouth, the book that tackled the stories behind the names our forefathers gave the streets, buildings and geographical features with which they lived.

Now it's Portsmouth: New Hampshire's Colonial Capital. This handy little guide provides one-stop shopping for anyone who's curious - native-born, newly arrived or visitor alike. Complete with a brief history and two walking tours, it also provides useful information about downtown shops and restaurants, things to do (including plenty for kids) and entertainment venues, as well as lodging and transportation options. It even addresses what's meant by dining "in the rough."
