  • Part Xiv: 1 915-1928
    PART XIV: 1 915-1928 For many years one of Keene's most famous institutions, and among the most renowned in New England, was the Cheshire House. The fine art of good plain food, established by host Morgan J. Sher- man in the 1880's, was carried on by Judson A. Reynolds after the turn of the century. Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone were among the celebrities who enjoyed the matchless fare of this Keene hotel. Another patron of the hotel was President Cal- vin Coolidge who, with his party, passed through the city on July 1, 1925. To the rear of the massive mahogany desk of the hotel was the maroon-tinted dining room where sturdy square tables, the sheen of soft linen, and heavy china set the scene of an older, more leisurely life with its solid, substantial New England fare. The traffic along Main Street and the noise of the Square were forgotten here, where steaming dishes and the clatter of heavy silver created an oasis from a hectic world. The menu over the years reflected the uncompromising appre- ciation of quality: tomato juice, cherrystone clams, choice of cold tomato bouillon, beef broth or vegetable soup to begin a meal, and no less than 25 various fish dishes. While the art of cooking fish was highly refined, New England boiled dinner, corned beef and cabbage, boiled calf's head with brain sauce, sirloin steak smothered in onions, or roast native veal with dressing proved adventures in good eating. The breakfast menu, described by the New Yorker magazine as the longest in the world, offered a variety of standard fare plus venison, pickled pigs' feet, and duck.

On Saturday, November 10, 2018, the Society will offer two opportunities to commemorate the anniversary of World War I with a lecture about George Dilboy, the state's only Medal of Honor winner from the war, and a final opportunity to view the Society's exhibition of World War I posters. The exhibition, Making the World Safe for Democracy: Posters of the Great War in New Hampshire, explores the war's impact on the Granite State and examines the use of this popular art form to shape public opinion and mobilize American citizens to fight in a distant conflict. Posters were a popular new form of mass communication in the early twentieth century, designed to convey messages with powerful illustrations and few words. During World War I, an army of artists created some of the most indelible images of the modern era that shaped our views on what it meant to be an American. This collection of World War I posters, never before exhibited, has been on display for the past year as part of the Society's commemoration of the Great War.

They also introduce readers to the latest historical scholarship, encouraging critical engagement with compara- tive questions about the nature of nationhood in the modern era.
