A Keene Sense of History II by David Proper

Why did a Cheshire County man leave his house and live in a cave for several months during the Revolutionary War? What was a hogreeve? What Keene resident won the Boston Marathon seven times? These and many other questions are answered in Keene historian David Proper’s new book A”’Keene” Sense of History II. Proper debuted his “Region History” column in the Keene Sentinel almost 50 years ago. During those years he wrote almost 2500 articles for the pages of the Sentinel. This sequel contains nearly 100 more of the best of these sketches.
