Excerpt:White Mountain National Forest.The White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) is a federally-managed forest contained within the White Mountains in the northeastern United States. It was initially established in 1918. It has a total area of 784,505 acres (3,175 km) (1,225 sq mi). Most of the WMNF is in New Hampshire; a small part (about 5.65% of the forest) is in the neighboring state of Maine. While often casually referred to as a park, this is a National Forest, used not only for hiking, camping, and skiing, but for logging and other limited commercial purposes. The WMNF is the only National Forest located in either New Hampshire or Maine. Most of the major peaks over 4,000 feet high for peak-bagging in New Hampshire are located in the National Forest. Over 100 miles (160 km) of the Appalachian Trail traverses the White Mountain National Forest. In descending order of land area the forest lies in parts of Grafton, Coos, Carroll, and Oxford counties. (Oxford County is the only one that is in Maine.) The Forest Supervisor's office is located in Campton, and there are three ranger districts: the Pemigewasset District, with offices in Bethlehem and Plymouth; the Androscoggin District, based in Gorham; and the Saco District, based in Conway. Furthermore, there are several visitor centers, including those located at Lincoln, Campton (off Interstate 93), and Lincoln Woods (on the Kancamagus Highway), and the Evans Notch Information Center, located in Bethel, Maine.

Excerpt: Rochester, New Hampshire -Rochester was once inhabited by Abenaki Indians of the Pennacook tribe. They fished, hunted and farmed, moving locations when their agriculture exhausted the soil for growing pumpkins, squash, beans and maize. Gonic was called Squamanogonic, meaning "the water of the clay place hill." The town was one of four granted by Colonial Governor Samuel Shute of Massachusetts during his brief term. Incorporated in 1722, it was named for his close friend, Laurence Hyde, Earl of Rochester and brother-in-law to King James II. As was customary, tall white pine trees were reserved for use as masts by the Royal Navy. But hostility with the Indians delayed settlement until 1728, although attacks would continue until 1748. Early dwellings clustered together for protection, beginning near Haven Hill. Due to warfare or disease, after 1749 the Indians were gone. The community at that time included Farmington, which would be incorporated in 1798, and Milton, in 1802. In 1737, the Reverend Amos Main became the first settled pastor of the Congregational Church, located on Rochester Hill. The building would be moved to Rochester Common, which then encompassed 250 acres (1.0 km) and was called Norway Plain Mille Common after its abundant Norway pines. At the time, the Common extended into what is now downtown Rochester. By 1738, the farming community contained 60 families. A s...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=124931 ... Read more

We stop at the Granite State on our trip From Sea to Shining Sea
One way of killing time when you are a kid and you have a piece of paper and a pen or pencil is to draw a map of the United States.You start with Maine and then you drawn Vermont and New Hampshire over Massachusetts, with Connecticut and Rhode Island tucked underneath before you get to New York.What you probably forget, assuming you even knew it in the first place, is that a bit of New Hampshire actually comes down to the Atlantic in between Maine and Massachusetts.New Hampshire has a port city, Portsmouth no less.If you drive along I-95 from Maine to Massachusetts you will drive through Portsmouth and see that New Hampshire is a seafaring state.Therefore, when you see that the state seal, which appears on the state flag, is dominated by a ship, the "Raleigh," you will not be greatly surprised.

Having started with Maine as our first stop in the From Sea to Shining Sea series, we now visit New Hampshire, with Terry Miller Shannon as our tour guide.The short opening chapter introduces us to the Granite State, the seventh smallest of the state with an abundance of valuable natural resources.Shannon emphasizes the interesting places in the state, from Mount Monadnock (the most-climbed mountain in the world) to Mystery Hill in North Salem (home to some of the oldest buildings in North America).Chapter Two, The Land of New Hampshire covers the basic geography of the state, looking at the three distinctive land regions (Seaboard Lowland, New England Upland, and the White Mountains), the 1,300 lakes and rivers, and the climate (expect snow on Mount Washington during the summer).

Chapter Three, New Hampshire Through History, begins with the nomad wanderers who came to North America 12,000 years ago, continues through the Algonquian tribes in the area, and the Early European Explorers (including John Smith).Shannon focuses on the establishment of the colony and the question of setting New Hampshire's boundaries, and its contributions during the American Revolution.The state's history continues through the Civil War and into this century, making it the largest chapter in the book.Chapter Four Governing New Hampshire, talks about the oldest constitution in the United States and the three branches of government before taking a tour of Concord, the state capital.In these volumes you will find a down top map of the capital, which will show you where the state house stands in relationship to the Museum of New Hampshire History and other buildings of interest.Chapter Five, The People and Places of New Hampshire, looks at what it means to be working in New Hampshire and takes a tour of the various regions to give you an idea of what there is to see there.This is also the chapter where you get the book's recipe, which is the Use-It-Up, Make-It-Do, Franco-American Toast (a thrifty way to use leftover bread, which adds vanilla and cinnamon to the eggs and milk in which you dip the day-old bread).

The book is filled with contemporary color photographs and historical illustrations, although as you might have heard "The Old Man of the Mountain" that is the state symbol and the subject of the final photograph in the book, gave way a few years back (after it was immortalized on the New Hampshire quarter).As you can see from the cover, New Hampshire is the home to some great covered bridges as well.Throughout the book there are informative little sidebars in three categories: Find Out More (e.g., how the town of Rumford was renamed Concord), Who's Who in New Hampshire (e.g., Daniel Webster and Christa McAuliffe), and Extra! Extra! (e.g., there are more than one hundred recording spellings of the name Winnipesaukee).

In the back of the book Shannon provides a New Hampshire Almanac, which lists a lot of fast facts about former capitals and state symbols.This is followed by a Timeline that parallels New Hampshire State History on the top and U.S. History on the bottom (note that Martin Pring landed along New Hampshire's coast in 1603, four years before the first permanent British settlement in Jamestown, Virginia that the history books always emphasize).There is a Gallery of Famous New Hampshirites from Ken Burns to David Souter (with Robert Frost and John Irving in between), and a Glossary of terms from "ancient" to "textile."If you need to look For More Information about New Hampshire for a school report, Shannon provides a trio of useful Web Sites and three rather eclectic Books (e.g., "Yum, Yum!: The New Hampshire Kid's Cookbook"), along with a couple of Addresses you can actually write to for information. ...

Good picture book for young children with connections to New Hampshire
This series of alphabet books is a great concept to share with kids that have connections, such as travel, relatives, or other interest in a variety of states.They include a good cross section of points of interest from each state and are fun to share.I have nieces and nephews out of state, and I bought this book to share a little bit about their cousins home state.One point worth making in G Is For Granite is that page "T" is for Tuckerman's Ravine.Check the map, it isn't a possesive and should be "Tuckerman Ravine".The folks at Friends of Tuckerman take that pretty seriously.Must have fallen off the headwall a time or two. ...

The papers are now over thirty years old, but at the time of its publication was unique as a state of the art collection on history of US geology. Even today it contains many articles still worth reading by figures such as Steve Gould, Harold Burstyn, Thomas Manning, Steve Pyne, and many others. ... Read more
