Historic Tales of Windham - Hardcover
by Derek Saffie (Author), Al Letizio Jr. (Foreword by), Rick Holmes (Foreword by)
The natural beauty and fertile lands of Windham drew first the Pawtucket Indians and then Scotch-Irish settlers. The town s rich history is full of intriguing stories, including Wallace Fessenden s unscrupulous baseball umpiring, the return of a native son after his burial at sea in Indonesia and the poetic life of the Rustic Bard, Robert Dinsmoor. Tourism boomed as early as the 1850s, when visitors flocked to the waterside temptations of Canobie Lake and later Cobbett s Pond, where eccentric millionaire Edward Searles built his famous castle. Local historian Derek Saffie weaves together a collection of historic stories from the settlement s roots as Nutfield to the town of Windham."
