A History of Dartmouth College and the Town of Hanover, New Hampshire is an exhaustive and scholarly chronicle of one of America's most prestigious institutions of higher learning and the community that grew alongside it. Written by Frederick Chase, this work provides a detailed exploration of the college's founding by Eleazar Wheelock, its early struggles for survival, and its pivotal role in the educational landscape of colonial and post-revolutionary New England. The narrative expertly weaves together the ecclesiastical and political origins of the school with the secular development of the town of Hanover.

Readers will find in-depth accounts of the college's charter, its interactions with indigenous populations, and the legal and financial challenges that defined its early years. Beyond the walls of the classroom, the book examines the social and economic evolution of Hanover, detailing how the town and the college shared a symbiotic growth. This volume serves as an essential resource for historians of American education, local New Hampshire history, and the development of the Ivy League.
