rugged disposition. Consider President Franklin Pierce’s steady climb to the White House, a skier’s intrepid plunge down the slopes of the
White Mountains or
Ruth Blay’s resolute walk to an unjust execution. From Granite State
lighthouses standing sentinel against the crashing Atlantic to the conductors on the
Underground Railroad ushering slaves to freedom, take it on the chin with these stalwart New Hampshire history books.
