4.0 out of 5 stars
Nearly perfect, September 9, 2000
This review is from: Joseph Dow's History of the Town of Hampton: From Its First Settlement in 1638 to the Autumn of 1892 (History of Hampton New Hampshire 1638-1988) (Hardcover)
As a budding genealogist, I have depended upon this text for invaluable leads on my families and some of the history of early Hampton, NH. I have discovered a few mistakes here and there, but having access to so many more sources, I have been able to substantiate them. I give Mr. Dow and all those who took the time, many kudos for at least attempting to set history down. It boggles one's mind to think just how terribly tedious and self isolating this task was. I am descended from many of the original settlers of Hampton ie Clifford, Dow, Griffin, Hilliard, Tilton, Moulton, Brown, not to mention my favorite; Reverend Stephen Batchelder and his nemesis, Reverned Timothy Dalton.
