Thomas Bailey Aldrich returns to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the town of his boyhood, beginning with Martin Pring’s voyage up the Piscataqua in 1603 and the early settlement of Strawberry Bank. He strolls along the waterside and through the old streets, sketching captains, eccentrics and old houses, and closes with personal reminiscences.
