Excerpt from Midsummer in Whittier's Country: A Little Study of Sandwich Center

This little study of Sandwich Center, tells quite simply the brief and almost uneventful annals of the town from its waking in the reign of George III, throughout its term of active service in behalf of the Colonies, to its sleeping time to-day. It also gives quick glimpses of a few of the little people and places of delight in and around the village, and relates the Indian legends and traditions told round and about there: the myths of Ossipee, of Lake Asquam and Mount Chocorua.

Lines of Whittler's verse run throughout the pages, for they are as much a part of the New Hampshire country as the White Hills themselves, and sweet and full of tenderness.
