The Jeremiah Smith Collection preserves part of the personal library of the Academy’s fourth treasurer. A New Hampshire native, Jeremiah Smith was wounded at the Battle of Bennington in the American Revolution and went on to serve in Congress and as governor of New Hampshire. His son, Jeremiah Smith II 1849, and grandson, Jeremiah Smith, Jr. 1888, also served the Academy as trustees. Some of their books are also in the collection, which was given to the Academy by a family friend, Mrs. Delmar Leighton. Among items of note are John Winthrop’s History of New England (1790), an 1853 copy of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and a biography of Smith by John H. Morison 1825, of interest due to a Dover, NH, bindery tag.
