America's First People
(including New Hampshire's First
People)
By Rosalind P. Hanson
"This informative book is divided into two parts. Part I is a general overview of the various Native American cultures that settled in North America from 50,000 BC to European contact, including an interesting section on significant cultures that did not survive into modern times. Unlike many Native American histories, the author also includes information about current Native American cultural projects and notable Native American citizens. Part II is fascinating for its focus on Native American peoples in New Hampshire as settlers, survivors, and achievers. The author includes many helpful diagrams, maps and photographs, and the reader will especially appreciate Hanson's attention to local efforts to preserve and celebrate Native American culture." Ex Libris, The New Hampshire Writers' Project's newsletter, 1998
"Much has been written about Native Americans of the plains and Southwest but relatively few good basic books are available about Native Americans of the area we now call New England. Rose Hanson has filled an important niche with her book, America's First People." Charles "Bud" Thompson, Co-Founder Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum
"...I hope it will see a broad distribution, especially to children of school age. It would make a wonderful companion piece to any presentation by the NH Intertribal Native American Council..." Gary W. Hume NH State Archaeologist with the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources

Open the Door: A Gathering of Poems and Prose Pieces By Elizabeth Yates
The New Hampshire Antiquarian Society is proud to announce the publication of an original book of poetry and prose by noted New Hampshire writer Elizabeth Yates. This 64-page softcover volume entitled Open the Door: A Gathering of Poems and Prose Pieces is filled with writings that revolve around the seasons and highlight natural themes. The four-colored covered book is illustrated with black and white seasonal photos of the author and glass negatives from the collection of the NH Antiquarian Society. Accompanying the text are contributions by Jane Difley, Mary Lyn Ray, and Rebecca Rule.
Elizabeth Yates is the author of Hue and Cry, The Road Through Sandwich Notch, Spanning Time, Sound Friendships, The Lighted Heart, A Book of Hours, and the 1951 Newbery winner, Amos Fortune, Free Man. She is the recipient of numerous writing awards including the 1996 New Hampshire Lifetime Achievement Award in Literature sponsored by the New Hampshire Writers' Project.
"A poem is about many things. There's some arithmetic in how the words come, the lines break. There's the roll of language spoken. There's continuance of the craft that poets have been practicing a long, long time. But a poem is, especially, about seeing... Elizabeth sees." - Mary Lyn Ray
