Hannah Dustin Duston Statues

 

This is a collection of galleries containing rare images relating to the Dustin Duston Family of Haverhill, Massachusetts. This includes of pictures and old postcards of the statues in Haverhill, Massachusetts and Boscawen, New Hampshire. I will be posting a number of new photos over the next few weeks.

"ISLAND CONTOOCOOK (Today Duston Island, see cards below)

"As appears, this island, containing about two acres, then (and now) covered with a dense forest, was the adopted home of one of the tribes; and, from its surroundings, it served to be a strong fortification against their common enemy, the English settlers.

For fifteen days they had continued their march through the forest, - a distance of seventy-five miles, according to our reckoning; but, according to the Indian computations of that time, two hundred and fifty miles."
