  • Taking the Lead: Women and the White Mountains
    Taking the Lead: Women and the White Mountains museum of the white mountains | plymouth state university CLOUDS ON WHITEFACE So lovingly the clouds caress his head,— The mountain-monarch; he, severe and hard, With white face set like flint horizon-ward; They weaving softest fleece of gold and red, And gossamer of airiest silver thread, To wrap his form, wind-beaten, thunder-scarred. They linger tenderly, and fain would stay, Since he, earth-rooted, may not float away. He upward looks, but moves not; wears their hues; Draws them unto himself; their beauty shares; And sometimes his own semblance seems to lose, His grandeur and their grace so interfuse; And when his angels leave him unawares, A sullen rock, his brow to heaven he bares.

  • Natural Resources
    Chapter VIII Natural Resources “The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased, and not impaired, in value.” ~Theodore Roosevelt Chapter VIII – Natural Resources Adopted 11/19/2008 Chapter 8 Natural Resources 8.1 INTRODUCTION In our present-day life of automobiles, big-box stores, and indoor jobs, it’s easy to become disconnected from our natural environment. We often fail to acknowledge that our physical surroundings influence our actions and color our moods. Indeed, we may forget that the lay of the land and all its inherent components have shaped our infrastructure and dictated our livelihood. Tamworth’s early settlers chose a centrally located, gently sloping hillside – frost- resistant for a long growing season – for building their new town center. Fifty years later, when water-powered industry came to rule the local economy, Tamworthians hitched the meeting house to 40 yoke of oxen and twitched it a mile down the road to the banks of the Swift River. The locations of all the town’s villages were decided more by the land than by the residents. South Tamworth and Whittier arose along the steepest drops in the Bearcamp River that supplied the hydraulic head needed to power mills and factories. Chocorua grew around the Iron Works, which took advantage of the river’s water supply and proximity to bog iron ore. Bradbury Jewell chose his birch intervale for the flat, tillable soil; later on, Wonalancet thrived as sawmills exploited the neighboring Sandwich Range forests and vacationers spent their summers at Wonalancet Farm and Ferncroft.
