When Harriet Chapell Newcomb attended her fiftieth anniversary reunion at Abbot Academy, she brought along the Journal which she had kept during her three years in Andover. This day-by-day story of the school life was such a hit, a large part of the book was published to benefit of the centennial fund.  Harriet's daughter, Ruth W. Newcomb, Abbot Academy class of 1910, made tracings of the pen and ink sketches in the journal, and many alumnae contributed toward the expense of publication.  This singular volume remains one of the most heartwarming and charming personal histories of a very singular institution.

This previously unpublished memoir of George N. Cross, born in Methuen, Mass. in 1853, is a vivid picture and historical account of rural life in the 1800's of a small town in Massachusetts along the Merrimack River caught between the two emerging and thriving cities of Lawrence and Haverhill. His detailed descriptions of his home and the ways of the farm offer a real flavor of a bygone era. George N. Cross was a true Renaissance man of his day. For many years Cross was the Headmaster of the Robinson Female Seminary in Exeter, NH and then became a celebrated world travelling lecturer. His Yankee values and pride in his community and family comes through in his writing.

Written in 1927, Cross' book is the story of Dolly Copp, who settled in Pinkham Notch in the 1840's. Dolly's husband, Hayes Dodifer Copp, built their farmhouse to provide lodging and meals to travelers going north to Gorham and Randolph. About her husband, Dolly is famous saying "Hayes is well enough. But fifty years is long enough for a woman to live with any man."
