This enthusiastically received and well regarded series has had a wonderful reception! As a major regional newspaper, the Exeter News-Letter filled a vital role in its New England community. Vital records of town, regional and national significance, from the marriages of the high and famous in New York City, to the death of the humble farmer in Amherst, NH, were all to be found within its pages. More than just a listing of births, deaths and marriages, these volumes will lead you to the news events both major and minor, to the scandals and gossip, triumphs and tragedies of the day.
Scott Chipman has laboriously and meticulously extracted the vital records for 35 years of the News-Letter, and the cumulative total of 77,711 names recorded in the Every Name Indexes in each volume (11,400; 12,475; 16,103; 17,022 and 20,711 entries respectively) makes the huge amount of information not only easily accessible but also directs those who wish to do further research, to the appropriate issue of the News-Letter. These volumes transport you through town and county records which are otherwise scattered throughout New England. Even one trip saved will more than pay for the cost of all of these books!
