History of the White Mountains: The history of the White Mountains from the first settlement of the Upper Coos and Pequaket

First published in 1846, Lucy Crawford's history is perhaps the most important book ever published about the White Mountains of new Hampshire. this is the genuine story of pioneers, of exploration, of growth and development, and of a family that made enormous contributions to the lonesome life in the mountains that surrounded their farm. In Lucy Crawford's own words, this is th story of the hardships and challenges that the Crawford family endured and of the simple rewards that they enjoyed as they explored and opened this wilderness for others to enjoy also. This edition includes an all new Introduction by John T. B. Mudge as well as the 19th-century illustrations first included in the 1978 Appalachian Mountain Club edition.
