Talk:History of New Hampshire

Revolution: 1775–1815
Why is Concord listed as the capitol [sic] of New Hampshire at the close of this section. If no one objects, I'm going to remove this append in lieu of a later addition, that will list when exactly Concord became the State's CAPITAL. This will be forthcoming just as soon as I locate the required information. 71.233.230.223 (talk) 03:19, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * It was 1808, according to the Concord, New Hampshire article. I've added the basic info and the reference from there. --Ken Gallager (talk) 14:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Colony
Ken Gallager

Yes the grant was in 1622, but settlers came in 1623:

"Settlers, whose early leaders included David Thomson, Edward Hilton, and Thomas Hilton, began settling the New Hampshire coast as early as 1623"

So when we are talking about this article, we are referring to when the colony was first settled on the division... Not when the land was granted, and not when the land became known as "New Hampshire" Steve Lux, Jr. (talk)


 * Perhaps you would care to rewrite or reorder the first two paragraphs to make your point more clear? We have the de facto settlement occurring in 1623, and the legal division of the grant occurring in 1629, officially forming the colony. The text seems okay to me as is, but feel free to have a stab at it; for instance, if you feel the 1623 settlement should go first. --Ken Gallager (talk) 17:19, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Further Reading section is a mess
"Further reading" sections in wikipedia are not supposed to be a mass collection of books about any aspect of the topic, especially when the topic is as wide-ranging as hundreds of years of history.

This article currently has 37 books on its list, some as focused as a biography of the Loebs or Civil War politics, and some talking about all of New England. There's no rhyme or reason why they appear and not any of hundreds of other works about aspects of NH history. I would like to trim it to just books that discuss the history of the state as a whole, rather than specific aspects - and, frankly, even that will be too long to be useful. I'll start and see what people think. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 12:30, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I've trimmed it to 16 books - frankly, I still think it's a hodgepodge which does nothing for the reader but let's see what others think. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 16:23, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
