It’s a New Year’s tradition for journalists like me to look back on the key events of the previous year, but have a heart. Who wants to rehash that hot mess? And as to predicting what might be coming in 2021, well, we all know how unreliable fortune tellers are. So let’s wind the clock back a safe distance, once again, and review what was about to happen one, two, three and four centuries in the past.
400 years ago
With the 400th anniversary of the founding of New Hampshire now only two years away, I bet 95% of Portsmouth residents don’t have an inkling of how it all began. No judgment here. I’m halfway into writing a book on the topic and, trust me, it starts out confusing and goes downhill. We know precious little about Amias, David and John Thompson (Thomson) who settled at Little Harbor in 1623, and much of what we’ve been telling ourselves for centuries is probably wrong.
