Author: NEW CASTLE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Title: Great Island Cook Book
Description: New Castle, NH: New Castle Congregational Church, 1985. 15th Printing. 3-ring binder. B&W Illustrations; This is a thick three ring binder with pages that have three ring hole punches. The book is in Very Good+ condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book is in clean, bright condition and all the pages appear to be intact. The text pages are clean and bright. The main island on which the town sits is the largest of several at the mouth of the Piscataqua River and was originally called "Great Island". Settled in 1623, an earthwork defense was built on Fort Point which would evolve into Fort William and Mary (rebuilt in 1808 as Fort Constitution). Chartered in 1679 as a parish of Portsmouth, it was incorporated on May 30, 1693, and was named "New Castle" after the fort. Until 1719 it included Rye, then called "Sandy Beach", which was set off as a parish. The principal industries were trade, tavern-keeping, and fishing. There was also agriculture, using the abundant seaweed as fertilizer. Beginning on June 11, 1682, Great Island experienced a supernatural event—a lithobolia, or "Stone-Throwing Devil", recorded in a 1698 London pamphlet by Richard Chamberlain. On a Sunday night at about 10 o'clock, the tavern home of George Walton, an early settler and planter, was showered with stones thrown "by an invisible hand". (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ .
