Excerpt from The New-England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 41: April, 1887
Having acquired a competency, he determined, on retiring from mercantile pursuits in 1852, to gratify his historical tastes, and also by leisurely travelling over the country, find rest, and so im prove his health. He had for the two years past employed his lei sure in collecting materials for the history of New Ipswich and the genealogy of the Kidder family. These he set himself at work to complete, and before the year closed the history of his native town was issued, and in it was included a history of the branch of the Kidders to which he himself belonged. In this work he was associated with his friend Augustus A. Gould, M.D., who like himself was a native of New Ipswich. The book was issued as the joint production of the two. But the bulk of the work was performed by Mr. Kidder. He collected the ma tenial and wrote out for the printer nearly all the manuscript.
