and homesteads in New Hampshire's rugged hill country, the Granite
State's rural settlers have cultivated a vibrant pastoral society.

stops to consider such classic northern New England activities as
ice fishing, maple sugaring and blueberry picking, Memories from
New Hampshire's Lakes and Mountains: Fence Building and Apple Cider
takes the reader on a special journey through folk life during New
Hampshire's olden days.
On June 27, 1835, New Hampshire chartered the Boston & Maine
Railroad, and a juggernaut was born. By 1900, the B&M operated
some 2,300 miles of track in northern New England, having taken
over an astonishing forty-seven different railroads since its
inception. The B&M loomed particularly large in the Granite
State, where it controlled 96 percent of all tracks and was the
primary conveyance through the rugged heart of New England s most
formidable mountain range.
From the gravity-defying Mount Washington Cog Railway to logging
transport trains to the famous Depression-era Snow Train, "A
History of the Boston & Maine Railroad" traces the fascinating
history of New England's most renowned railway.
