While the first two chapters offer a brief journey through the past to the first settlement of New Hampshire and a brief history of the War of the Revolution, the remaining chapters describe life in New Hampshire during the 1870s. Chapter Three presents a topographical history of all the cities and towns in the state and their resources. Chapter Four provides a statistical summary of the counties and state, pertaining to their geographical position and value of their manufactories and businesses. Chapter Five concentrates on Census information in tabular form. Chapter Six details New Hampshire educational, religious and public institutions. Chapter Seven reviews the climate, scenery, geology and mineralogy of the state and offers a poem on New Hampshire. Finally Chapter Seven describes the political climate of the time.
