(Hour 2c) R.J. Horton is a prolific videographer who has diligently chronicled Manchester history since 1991. He gave us a history lesson on Isaac Riddle, a Bedford resident who built canal boats that sailed from Bass Island to Faneuil Hall in Boston, MA. Horton also noted the striking similarities between the Queen City and Quincy, MA and discussed the plight of the French and the Irish in the 1800’s.
