Faith built Portsmouth long before brick and granite. These stories shaped a town. Timothy Alden's An Account Of The Several Religious Societies; In Portsmouth, New Hampshire traces the rise of its churches from their earliest foundations to 1805, mapping how congregations and clergy helped shape civic life in eighteenth century New Hampshire and the early republic. Alden offers a meticulous primary source church history of Portsmouth New Hampshire churches, from meeting-house beginnings to the history of Protestant congregations and their ministers. Arranged society by society, with careful notice of pastors, foundations, and successions, this religious societies reference book preserves the names, dates, and circumstances that so often slip from view. It is indispensable for biographies of early ministers, for those tracing genealogy and church records, and for any resource for local historians concerned with early American religious history or early republic New England history. At once concise and richly detailed, it stands among American religious history classics and belongs naturally within any New Hampshire history collection for its insight into belief, community, and identity in a growing harbour town. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, Alden's rare chronicle is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it offers both casual readers of regional history and serious collectors a vivid, authentic window into Portsmouth's spiritual past.
