In 2008, filmmaker Adam Gibgot donated this first edition, discarded by the Boscawen, NH Library, to the Sidis Archives. Though Adam could not have known it at the time, the town of Boscawen was originally Contoocook, located between the towns of Passaconaway and Concord, along the Contoocook River. This is the very area where Passaconaway lived! Whittier mentions Contoocook more than once in his poem The Bridal of Pennacook about the marriage of Passaconaway's daughter.
