Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Things About Coventry-Benton: New Hampshire This volume does not purport to be a complete and exhaustive history of the town of Coventry-Benton. It is simply a collection of some things connected with its history. It is a small town, one of the smallest in the state. During all its life it has been one of the typical back-towns, but there are many now living in other towns and other states who cherish a strong love for it as the place of their birth and early life. The collection and weaving together of the facts and traditions contained in this volume has been a source of recreation to the author, and if the sons and daughters of the town find a source of pleasure in the perusal of its pages he will be amply repaid for time and labor spent. Only two hundred copies of the book have been printed. The work has been done at odd times in a village printing establishment, and the fact that the printer has kept pace with the writer, distributing his type whenever eight or sixteen pages were printed, may be made the excuse for the page and more of errata at the end of the volume, and for typographical errors which have passed the proofreader unnoticed. The volume makes no pretension to literary style or finish, but the author believes it contains much valuable historical material which is worthy of preservation. He offers the book without apology, for what it is, not a town history, but "Some Things about Coventry-Benton, N. H.
