Hampshire: Though troubled by violent border disputes with Massachusetts
and bloody wars with Native American tribes, New Hampshire was settled
by knowledgeable merchants and disgraced ministers. They quickly infused

individualism, that persist to this day. This engaging book looks at the
rise of that spirit as New Hampshire grew. " Format and pictures with
