From: History of Boscawen Webster Fifty Years 1883-1933, Compiled by Willis G. Buxton, Pages 360-363:
"Charles F. Goodhue was horn in New Hampton, New Hampshire, on Decemher 24, 1854. He moved to Webster in 1860 and has lived in Webster and Boscawen ever since. Although farming has been his vocation, the gathering of the collections described below has been his avocation, and as his years have advanced, his avocation has taken precedence. Mr. Goodhue has held communications, written and oral, with entomologists and naturalists not only in this country but also abroad. He is an acknowledged authority on entomology and ornithology.
Mr. Goodhue has over 800 superbly prepared specimens of birds and animals, and among these exhibits is an extremely rare and valuable pair of passenger pigeons which birds are now extinct. He has between 8,000 and 9,000 specimens of brilliantly colored butterflies and moths, the latter being the most complete and best identified collection in New Hampshire. In addition, Mr. Goodhue owns a collection of some 1,000 Indian relics gathered from 30 states. Professor Warren K. Moorehead, famed director of the department of archaeology at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, is an authority on Indian relics in the United States. He thinks that the Indian specimens of Mr. Goodhue are the finest he has ever seen in New England. Mr. Goodhue found some of these precious Indian relics between Little Brook and Beaver Dam Brook on Fowler's Plain in Webster, New Hampshire. Rarity of specimens is the striking feature of all of Mr. Goodhue's varied collections. His contacts with notable men have been many, such as with John B. Smith, State Entomologist of Pennsylvania; C. H. Fernald of Amherst College; Richard Kunza of New York ; Herman Streaker of Reading, Pennsylvania and Professor Warren K. Moorehead of Andover, Massachusetts.
While it is true that Mr. Goodhue's collection of stuffed creatures, butterflies, moths and Indian relics constitute a part of his very life, we believe that the bird book which we are about to describe holds an equally important place in the life of this naturalist. Try to visualize the material make-up of this book of his, as we tell you about it. Picture to yourself in his clear hand printing, almost five hundred pages with an index, written by pen on pages measuring ten by eight inches. Throughout the 1 k, there appear numerous illustrations of photographs of birds which he himself took. Does it not interest you to learn that Mr. Goodhue wielded his pen for fifty-four days, at ten hours per day, before he had finished writing this bird book? Let us quote to you a little from this unique book:
"Fifty Years among the Birds of New Hampshire" by Charles F. Goodhue. A bird book for everybody, especially for the boys and girls. In it are listed so far as known to the author, all the species entitled to a place among the birds of New Hampshire with descriptions of their colors, markings, size, songs and call notes. Nesting sites, nests, eggs, and many other facts of interest to all bird lovers. The illustrations are photographs made by the author from birds taken and mounted by him as also are the pictures from nature of nests and eggs and a few live birds on their nests." From the introduction to this bird book, we read: "From 1672 to now there have been from time to time various partial lists and notes printed relating to the birds ot New Hampshire. Different authors have given us books on the Birds of New England, Birds of the Eastern United States, Birds of Eastern North America, Land and Game ifirds of New England, etc., but there have been none on New Hampshire alone. The extreme length of the state from north to south is 173 miles. Owing to the fact that the state extends from Canada to the sea, we have in the northern third a number of species that are seldom seen south of there even in the winter. My only excuse for this book, with all its imperfections, is my love for and interest in these feathered friends, who for more than sixty years have been my daily companions. If its contents prove to he a help to anyone in acquiring a better knowledge of our New Hampshire birds or awakens their interest in these little brothers of the woods and fields, the author will be amply paid for the time spent in its making."?
