Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, from its discovery in 1614 to 1666, when it was under the scrutiny of King Charles II's commissioners. Portsmouth was among the earliest European settlements in New England and a hub for the fur and fishing trades. The author provides an engaging account of Portsmouth's inhabitants' struggles for self-governance, their skirmishes with Native American tribes, and their clashes with the powerful Massachusetts Bay Colony. The book highlights the challenges of establishing a permanent settlement in a new and often hostile environment and offers insights into the complexities of colonial life in 17th-century America.
