FEATURED WEB PAGE

  This week's featured web page is the Pine Tree Shillings chapter
  from "The Whole History of Grandfather's Chair: True Stories
  From New England History, 1620-1808"  by American writer
  Nathaniel Hawthorne.   Hawthorne wrote a series of sketches
  of New England history, published in 1841 as "Grandfather's
  Chair: A History for Youth."   His account helped popularize the
  legend of Captain John Hull, the mintmaster of Massachusetts,
  and his daughter's dowry of her weight in "bright pine-tree
  shillings, fresh from the mint."
