Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont
The unique charm of New England is captured in simple text and many pictures.
The story of this intimate, beautiful group of states with its characteristic hard-rock mountains, tumbling waterfalls, lakes, rugged shore lines, forests, lowland river basins, is told through the perspective of its fascinating geology, its vivid history and its people.
The first people ranged through the region hunting the mammoth and other animals, thousands of years ago. Eventually they settled in villages where they raised corn and tapped the maple trees. Only through the friendliness of some of these Indians were the Pilgrims able to survive in a new land.
Here is New England today where the beauty of the country makes vacationing big business. With available water power everything from submarines to toothpicks is manufactured. It is a country rich in forests, minerals, marble, granite, fish and farmlands.
New England, America's earliest melting pot, has some of the oldest schools in the country and has contributed much to our heritage of art and culture.
The book ends with a separate section on each state with a picture map and specific information.
