A collection of colorful stories about some of New Hampshire’s most notable newsmakers and remarkable historic events. Includes photos.
 
Hidden in the cracks and crevices of the Granite State are the stories of pioneers who pursued their passions, creating legacies along the way. Compiled by a Smithsonian researcher and former Boston Globe contributor, this treasury includes tales of:  
  • the mountain man who became an innkeeper
  • the “Bird Man” who took his passion to the White House
  • the gentleman who ascended the highest peak in the Northeast in a steam-powered locomobile
  • the story of one skier’s dramatic win at the 1939 “American Inferno” Mount Washington race
  • the Shaker Meetinghouse, built in just one day, in complete silence
  • the gallant efforts to save the Old Man of the Mountain
  • and much more
