The Placenames of Portsmouth
The book that started it all. The business of naming is as old as language itself. Toponomy - the names folks bestow on their rivers and river banks, streets, buildings and other landmarks - provide a window into the soul of those people, through the history they have chosen to celebrate. The Placenames of Portsmouth, the first entry in The Placenames of America™ Series, takes the reader through 466 streets and 375 years of the history of one of this country's earliest New England seaports. An entertaining approach to times and names gone by, it serves as much as a vehicle for telling Portsmouth stories as a guide to its colorful streets.
