About the author
Born in 1848, Ella Mills is known for writing Sketch of Dunbarton, New Hampshire, a historical work published in Manchester, New Hampshire, in 1902. The book has remained her best-known surviving work and is still circulated through public-domain archives.
Her writing focuses on the people, places, and institutions of Dunbarton, combining local history with a strong sense of place. For listeners who enjoy regional history and the texture of everyday life in earlier America, her work captures how one community understood its own past.
Little biographical information about her was readily confirmed from the sources reviewed in this conversation, so the historical record available online appears limited. What is clear is that her book helped preserve the memory of a New Hampshire town for later generations.
