HS 3065 - Franklin Pierce, Ted Williams, Steven Tyler and Adam Sandler Slept Here - New Hampshire History & Culture

Our primary purpose is to provide the student with an overview of the narrative of New Hampshire history from discovery to the very near past. Recognizing the survey nature of the course and the enormous wealth of detail that our time-span will encompass, and aware that the marvels of modern technology have placed libraries of data at our fingertips, the essence of this course is not memorization. We will instead concentrate on ideas and causal relationships that have moved our history from birth to maturity. Nevertheless, it is essential that a citizen of a nation and the world gain a working knowledge of the cultural vocabulary that enables the citizen to function. Certain terms are critical to that vocabulary and thus some long-term storage {in your memory} of those terms is required.
