Through interviews with New Hampshire notables at their homes and
offices and in important places in nature, authors Doug Mayer and
Rebecca Oreskes capture the truly human stories of pioneering people of
the North Country. With humor, wit, and unforgettable personal style,
the accounts--recorded from 1994 to the present and including historical
photographs--invite readers into the lives of these important figures in
White Mountain history. From the early days of AMC's high huts and trail
crew work, to the U.S. Forest Service and the creation of federal
wilderness areas, to world-class mountain climbing and search and
rescue, each captivating profile reveals the strength and character of
the human spirit.
