The historic sites and nearly pristine estuary of the Piscataqua region represent a mixture of heritage and nature unparalleled in New England. They are worth preserving. For centuries the Piscataqua region was an extended maritime community connected by the Great Bay Estuary, the short seacoast of New Hampshire and southern Maine, and the seven tributary rivers that fortify the Piscataqua River itself. Moving water shaped the region--under its vessels, at its mills, and across its marshes. Carrying the freight of our history, and holding out the promise of community-based conservation, this book (and these waters) invite you on a journey of exploration and renewal. Join the naturalists, fishermen ,and historic preservationists who have all felt the pull of this place, and who wish to sustain it in the face of the headlong development consuming America today.

This review is from: Cross-Grained and Wily Waters: A Guide to the Piscataqua Maritime Region (Paperback)
The book itself is a wonderful sampler and a good place to start one's explorations of the New Hampshire Seacoast region, which goes from the shores of Seabrook NH to the south, to the town of York Maine in the north - any town touching the shores of Great Bay and the Atlantic is mentioned here, not in extensive depth, but with more than enough detail to wet the appetite of readers interested in an overview of the region's rich historic heritage.
If you are a resident of the region, this book is a must for your collection.
