The Years of the Life of Samuel Lane, 1718-1806:
A New Hampshire Man and His World


While apprenticed to a shoemaker, Samuel Lane studied the "art and mystery" of surveying as well. This compass, along with other tools used by Lane, formed part of an exhibition on this remarkable 18th-century "Renaissance man." The exhibition was on view at the Museum of New Hampshire History from March 25, 2000, through January 7, 2001.
