(Excerpt from New Hampshire in History: Or the Contributio...)
Excerpt from New Hampshire in History: Or the Contribution of the Granite State to the Development of the Nation The basis of this little volume is a lecture which was originally prepared for delivery before the Conway Woman's Club, in March 1921, and which was repeated, with some additions, under the auspices of the Men's Club of the Universalist Church in Concord, a year later. On each of these occasions there was a very intelligent and appreciative audience in attendance, among those present in Concord being Governor Brown, Secretary of State Bean, and Judge Corning, President of the New Hampshire Historical Society, as well as many others of prominence, all of whom expressed great satisfaction with the lecture, and the hope that it might be published, in some form, in the near future.

(Excerpt from One Thousand New Hampshire Notables: Brief B...)
Excerpt from One Thousand New Hampshire Notables: Brief Biographical Sketches of New Hampshire Men and Women, Native or Resident, Prominent in Public, Professional, Business, Educational, Fraternal or Benevolent Work It is not claimed for this little volume that it is a complete Who's Who for the State of New Hampshire. The purpose of the compiler has been to bring together, in compact form, so as to be readily accessible for refer ence in newspaper offices, libraries and elsewhere, brief biographical sketches of one thousand representative New Hampshire men and women, native or resident. Undoubtedly a thousand more, equally worthy of mention, might have been included, had time and Opportunity permitted, and it is to be hoped that another volume, embracing the same, may be hereafter brought out by some interested person. As in Who's Who in America and New England, the design has been to include only living subjects, and this purpose has been departed from in only two or three exceptional cases. Nevertheless quite a number of those whose sketches are presented have died since they were arranged for and printed, the fact of death in each case so far as known being noted in the Addenda, along with material facts, developing in regard to other subjects since their sketches were put in type, and the noting of certain errors which have been detected in some cases, while doubtless others have been overlooked. It is practically impossible to avoid mistakes, typographical and otherwise, in a work of this kind; but it is hoped that this volume is as free therefrom as is usually the case. The pages devoted to Addenda and Errata are inserted before the body of the work, and attention thereto should be duly given.

Henry Harrison Metcalf was the son of Joseph P. and Lucy (Gould) Metcalf. He was born on April 7, 1841, at Newport, New Hampshire.
Henry received his early education at various public schools in his native state and at Mount Caesar Seminary. He graduated from the law school of the University of Michigan in 1865 and studied for the New Hampshire bar in the office of Edmund Burke, one of the prominent Democratic leaders of the state. He was admitted in 1866, but was too deeply interested in journalism and politics to continue in the profession.
In 1867, Metcalf began his editorial career in charge of the White Mountain Republic, founded at Littleton partly at his suggestion by Chester E. Carey. During the next twenty-five years, he conducted five different journals and acquired an encyclopedic knowledge of New Hampshire people and affairs. His most important editorship was that of the New Hampshire People and Patriot (Concord), 1882-92. He also acted for many years as New Hampshire correspondent of various New York papers. In 1913, he was appointed state historian and assisted in publishing some of the early records of New Hampshire, notably the second and third volumes of Probate Records of the Province of New Hampshire (1914, 1915), found in volumes XXXII and XXXIII of the State Papers. He also edited New Hampshire Women (1895), Laws of New Hampshire, One Thousand New Hampshire Notables (1919), and wrote New Hampshire in History (1922) and several other historical articles or monographs.

A life-long member of the Universalist Church, Metcalf was one of the outstanding laymen of that denomination, his influence extending far beyond the state boundaries.
Metcalf was an active Democratic leader, rendering devoted service on sundry party committees and running several times for public office, though unsuccessfully since his state was too strongly Republican during his active career to offer many opportunities for opposition candidates.
As an editor, Henry was intensely partisan and a vigorous critic of men and measures which aroused his antagonism.
In December 1869, Metcalf married Mary Janet Jackson.
