He died in 1824. Samuel Blodget founded the city of Manchester, New Hampshire. In 1807, Blodgett built a canal around Amoskeag Falls to aid in navigation of ships traveling up and down the Merrimack River. A couple small edge and internal splits are of little consequence. A pristine example of an important item.
