"This is a delightful book. If I were to note all the places where the writing is particularly lovely, or lyrical, or ironic, or just plain funny, there would be no room left to do anything else.... This is a wonderful history... thank you for letting me work on such an excellent project."

A pictorial history of Surry, NH by the Surry History Committee
Published by Acadia Publishing, 2001

 

During the years the committee spent researching Surry's past, they collected hundreds of photographs. Richard Scaramelli, who was hired to write the town history, realized what a "beautiful, photographic town" Surry was and suggested that a pictorial history be published first. This is the result of the that suggestion.
