Sample Book Insights:

#1 John Langdon was a merchant, shipbuilder, and politician. He was one of the Constitution’s best-regarded signers, and he went from the sea to the battlefield and nearly to the vice presidency.

#2 John Langdon was the first president pro tempore of the United States, and he was extremely generous in financing the nation’s war. He remained active in New Hampshire politics, but declined all offers to move into the national spotlight.

#3 Nicholas Gilman was a delegate from New Hampshire who was elected to the Congress of the Confederation in 1786. He was chosen to attend the Constitutional Convention in 1787, despite his unpopularity among his colleagues.

#4 Gilman redeemed himself by promoting the Constitution to his fellow citizens. He wrote to a friend that the document would decide whether the United States would become a respectable nation or a people torn to pieces by commotions.
