The White Mountains Legacy

By Liz Bulkley on Friday, November 3, 2006.

In the 19th century, the do-no-wrong philosopher Henry David Thoreau once set the White Mountains on fire. Hundreds have died on their slopes, and thousands have been drawn there to paint and ski and hike. We're going to look at the mystique and heritage of the White Mountains in a conversation with Christopher Johnson, author of This Grand and Magnificent Place. Chris will be doing readings and book signings throughout New Hampshire this weekend.
