  • Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest
    How Campers Can Help Protect the National Forest First of all, obtain your camp-fire permit from the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H., or from any Forest officer; then observe the following rules: Build your camp fire near water, never against a log or tree. Be sure it is out before you leave it. When you throw away lighted matches, cigars, cigarettes, or pipe heels, STEP ON THRU. Dead and down trees, alder, pin cherry, striped and moose maple, may be used for fuel. LEAVE YOUR CAMP GROUNDS NEAT. THINK OF THE NEXT FELLOW. Bury your tin cans and burn garbage and papers—don't throw them in the streams. If you discover a fire and can not put it out, notify the nearest Forest officer or telephone the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H. District rangers are located at Gorham, Woodstock, Bart- lett, and Pierce Bridge, N. H. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1920 United States Department of Agriculture Contribution from the Forest Service Department Circular 100 William B. Greeley, Forester Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest HE cloud-piercing peaks, the lakes and streams and waterfalls, the wind­ swept ridges, and the deep woods trails make the White Mountain National Forest a land of heart's desire to the lover of the outdoors. In summer the hiker and mountain climber, the camper and fisherman may take his pick of trail and cliff, camp ground and trout stream; and the camera hunter may shoot scenes of beauty of every variety from peaceful valley to granite peak. Even the motorist will find convenient camping places and vantage points with a lookout over wild forest and mountain scenery.

Draper was a New York Times writer who resigned to work as a forest ranger in upstate New York before the war. Wounded on Mount della Torraccia and with two Bronze stars, Draper returned to New York after the war and was instrumental in picking out the site for a new location for a state-funded ski area after its Marble Mountain location proved untenable. The second manager of Whiteface was Hal Burton, a veteran of the Columbia Icefields expedition, the 2662 detachment to Terminello, and author of a book on the 10th. In later years, 86th veteran Stan Heidenreich oversaw construction of trails, lifts and snowmaking at the mountain in preparation for the 1980 Winter Olympic Games.

  • New Hampshire's History‐Places‐Family Ties Known As the Granite State, New Hampshire Is One of America's Smallest States with 9,349 Square Miles Area
    New Hampshire's History‐Places‐Family Ties Known as the Granite State, New Hampshire is one of America's smallest states with 9,349 square miles area. New Hampshire's natural beauty is the White Mountains, including the tallest mountain in northeastern North America, Mount Washington at 6288 feet. "It was first climbed by Darby Field and two Native Americans. The Native American name for Mount Washington is ‘Agiocochook’, meaning ‘Home of the Great Spirit’ or, perhaps more appropriately, ‘Mother Goddess of the Storm.' The Algonquian Indians called it ‘Waumbik,' simply meaning ‘white rocks’. Another name offered for the mountain is ‘Kodaak Wadjo’, meaning ‘the top is hidden.’ Both names reflect the presence of the weather regarding the mountain. Mount Washington was named after the first US president, George Washington, though the exact date of this name is unclear". <armchairmountaineer.com> "The best‐known notches near Mount Washington are Crawford (south‐west) and Pinkham (south‐east), the latter dividing this range from the Wildcat range. Mount Washington feeds three rivers: the Androscoggin, the Connecticut and the Saco. The Androscoggin winds a 280 km (175 mile) course south and east to the Atlantic Ocean. Its name comes from an Algonquian Indian word meaning ‘fish‐curing place.' " <armchairmountaineer.com> The official flag and emblem of the U.S. state of New Hampshire has held two seals since it declared its independence from Great Britain on January 5, 1776. While both seals have been retained, most people are only familiar with the Great Seal due to its corporate use. "The history of New Hampshire as we know it began as a 1623 English land grant, three years after the Pilgrims set foot on Plymouth Rock.

  • Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, Vol. 2
    ^7<y,/ kSLct f>1>ï /933 To the binder: these 2 leaves, pp.vil-x are throw-outs in the final binding: GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY of MAINE and NEW HAMPSHIRE PART II THE SOUTHWORTH PRESS PORTLAND, MAINE 1933 PREFACE TO PART II Although over four years have passed, the promise made in the Preface to Part I, that before Part II should go to press, all of my materials would have been thoroughly worked over for the whole book, is ixnkept. Not only have my minutes from so many years among the records not been fidly uti­ lized, but people who have studied certain families will often find that au­ thentic matter in print has escaped notice. Genealogists trained to library work will turn to many such omissions. Yet I do, to console myself, hold to the belief that James Savage himself, had he -in our day- thought of writing his Genealogical Dictionary, would have abandoned it almost before start­ ing. As it was, he exhausted every printed book from cover to cover (often led into errors thereby). Today such books have multiplied more than a hundred fold. In the interim between Parts I and II, books have gotten into print which fill me with dismay, and worse— books -flung- into print, reckless of errors; and some of these by a genealogist of high reputation. Is there not now enough of such material on the library shelves without increasing it 1 More to the point, shall I add to it? Personally I have reached a conviction that we have arrived at a stage where the desideratum is not the multiplication of genealogical books, nor even the extension of research, but the rescuing of genealogy itself from being brought into public contempt by reckless graspers after high ancestry and their exploiters.
