More About the Author
J. Dennis Robinson currently writes books about American history for children and for adults from his office in historic Portsmouth, NH near the swirling Piscataqua River. A popular columnist, educator and lecturer, he operates the award-winning Web site SeacoastNH.com with fresh content added (almost) daily. Robinson's two new books for 2011 are focused on the sea. MARITIME PORTSMOUTH is about a unique collection of paintings and artifacts linked to New Hampshire's only seaport. AMERICA'S PRIVATEER, just released, tracks two letters-of-marque named Lynx designed in Baltimore. One was captured by the British in the war of 1812. The other, a $3 million square-topsail schooner built at Rockport, Maine -- sails today. The author aims to make history relevant, readable, and surprisingly fun for a wide range of modern readers.

This review is from: Portsmouth & Coastal New Hampshire: A Photographic Portrait (Hardcover)
This is basically all pictures so it won't take you long to go through it. I read it and then passed it onto my Aunt because she lives in that area. Very nice pictures but the book is not very many pages so it is a quicky.
