Tales Told in the Shadows of the White Mountains

I purchased this book because I was going to the White Mts for vacation. I enjoyed reading the stories about the area I was going to visit.

Very well done. Anyone with an interest in NH and the White Mts would enjoy these stories.

This book is enjoyable to read and quite interesting. I wanted to learn more about the state of New Hampshire and its people, and I love reading tales. This is just what I was looking for. Now I want to go exploring through the state myself.

This book is a good read, especially at night before bedtime. The stories are not outlandish or embellished; just what has happened, or what peope think has happened over the interesting history of NH. I especially liked the real stories, such as the odd folk who lived away from civilization. Good writing by the author who has a lot of experience writing for NH magazines/papers.

As a native to New England I've always been attracted to the obscure history of my surroundings. However, when I thought of New Hampshire I only saw typical New England; quaint farmland, fall foliage, not witch tales and traveling mummies. When I finished reading Tales Told in the Shadows of the White Mountains I had a sudden urge to pack up the car and go on a road trip.This isn't just a collection of embellished camp fire ghost stories. This is everything from strange facts to unsolved events in little mountain towns. So, if you have a taste for the unusual you should probably pick this book up.
