Allen Brooks AT (OFFICE) Department of Justice Senior Assistant Attorney General Environmental Protection Bureau SUBJECT: Ownership of Mount Washington Summit TO: The Mount Washington Commission ____________________________________ Ownership History of the Mount Washington Summit1 The ownership history of the summit of Mount Washington is interwoven with that of Sargent’s Purchase, Thompson and Meserve’s Purchase, and numerous other early grants and conveyances in what is now Coos County. Throughout these areas, there has never been a shortage of controversy. Confusion over what is now called Sargent’s Purchase began as far back as 1786 when the Legislature appointed McMillan Bucknam to sell certain state lands. Bucknam conveyed land described as being southwest of Roger’s Location, Treadwell’s Location, and Wentworth’s 1 The following history draws extensively from several N.H.

  • NEW HAMPSHIRE V. MAINE on Motion to Dismiss Complaint
    532US3 Unit: $U60 [09-06-02 19:13:00] PAGES PGT: OPIN 742 OCTOBER TERM, 2000 Syllabus NEW HAMPSHIRE v. MAINE on motion to dismiss complaint No. 130, Orig. Argued April 16, 2001—Decided May 29, 2001 New Hampshire and Maine share a border that runs from northwest to southeast. At the border’s southeastern end, New Hampshire’s east- ernmost point meets Maine’s southernmost point. The boundary in this region follows the Piscataqua River eastward into Portsmouth Harbor and, from there, extends in a southeasterly direction into the sea. In 1977, in a dispute between the two States over lobster fish- ing rights, this Court entered a consent judgment setting the precise location of the States’ “lateral marine boundary,” i. e., the boundary in the marine waters off the coast, from the closing line of Portsmouth Harbor five miles seaward. New Hampshire v. Maine, 426 U. S. 363; New Hampshire v. Maine, 434 U. S. 1, 2. The Piscataqua River bound- ary was fixed by a 1740 decree of King George II at the “Middle of the River.” See 426 U. S., at 366–367. In the course of litigation, the two States proposed a consent decree in which they agreed, inter alia, that the descriptive words “Middle of the River” in the 1740 decree refer to the middle of the Piscataqua River’s main navigable channel. Rejecting the Special Master’s view that the quoted words mean the geographic middle of the river, this Court accepted the States’ inter- pretation and directed entry of the consent decree.

  • 2020 State of Homelessness in New Hampshire Report Produced Annually by the Coalition
    The State of Homelessness in New Hampshire Annual Report 2020 Including a Special Report on The Intersection of Unsheltered Homelessness and COVID-19 in NH Thank you to our Sponsor: The New Hampshire Coalition to End Homelessness (NHCEH), a nonprot organization, was founded in 1990 when the issue of homelessness was becoming increasingly visible across the state. As concern about the increasing numbers of individuals and families facing homelessness was intensifying among policymakers, service providers, and concerned citizens, it became clear that eectively addressing the problem would require strong leadership that could ensure the development of collaborative, thoughtful and informed solutions to this troubling problem. The NHCEH was formed to provide this leadership and has since played a key role in helping the State of New Hampshire plan, develop, and implement collaborative and constructive solutions to homelessness. Board Ocers/ Board Members Therese Seibert Mary Ann Aldrich Lynne Goodwin Viola Katusiime Gayle Murphy Chairperson Gretchen Bean Sarah Jacobs Kristy Letendre Allie Reyes Xiante Dahabi Treasurer 122 Market St. | Manchester, NH 03101 | www.nhceh.org | /nhceh 4 The State of Homelessness in New Hampshire Report 2020 LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR As President of the Board of Directors for the New Hampshire Coalition to End Homelessness (NHCEH), it is with far- reaching gratitude that I write this letter of introduction to the 2020 State of Homelessness in New Hampshire Report produced annually by the Coalition. Founded in 1990, the Coalition planted its roots by organizing community leaders to generate research resulting in evidenced-based advocacy, policies, and practices for ending homelessness. Thirty years later, I am grateful to be working with such dedicated NHCEH Board members, each of whom share a special expertise and commitment to our mission to eliminate the causes of homelessness through research, education, and advocacy.

  • MCHS the Montgomery County Story
    Published Quarterly By The Montgomery County Historical Society The Montgomery County Story MCHS Vol. 49, No.3 August 2006 Religious Diversity on The Road to Damascus By Patricia Abelard Andersen' New Hampshire Avenue, in various newspaper articles discussing the confluence of churches along its route, has variously been called "Religious Row." "Highway to Heaven" and "the Road to Damascus" - speaking of Paul's Christian journey, as well as the fact that New Hampshire Avenue slips into Rte. 108, the Damascus Road, at Etchison's Comer. It has long been noted as an interesting road to drive, because of the numerous, diverse religious buildings along the route.' Religious diversity was not always the case in Maryland, so the oldest churches are those of mainline denominations. Not surprisingly, among these is the Episcopal (Anglican) Church, which was the established church in Maryland in 1692, and the Parish that covered the whole of Western Maryland, Rock Creek Parish, was established that year. It is now in the District of Columbia, where the Glebe, the old Rock Creek Cemetery, borders on New Hampshire Avenue! From this church, other parishes were established in Montgomery County as the population increased. Pictured above is St.Luke' s Episcopal Church, Brighton. 122 Other Episcopal Churches on New Hampshire Avenue include the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, 13925 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring. Established in 1959, it was a mission of Rock Creek Parish, D.C. Early on it was welcoming to its African American community, and active in the Civil Rights movement. In 1968 it achieved parish status, and built its first community building.
