Join Rick Davidson and Bill Thompson as they present Volumes 1 & 2 of Buried New Hampshire. These intriguing new books uncover the hidden stories behind some of the state's most interesting burial sites. A heartfelt blend of historical research, local lore, and thoughtful reflection, the book offers readers a fresh perspective on New Hampshire's rich cultural landscape through the people who helped shape it--and whose final resting places are often lost to time.
From the seacoast to the White Mountains, to the Great North Woods, New Hampshire burial grounds vary from urban park-like cemeteries to single lonely markers hidden deep in the woods. Tombstones tell fascinating stories of the past and may tell of heroic deeds or great tragedies. Personal histories become forgotten, but some survive in local lore. To create Buried New Hampshire for Fonthill Media/Alan Sutton Publishing, authors and photographers Rick Davidson and Bill Thompson spent a year researching legends, following clues, and photograph ing granite state cemeteries. Rick and Bill share their evocative color photographs and intriguing research. Celebrities, murderers, heroes, and various unusual characters, some tragic, some in spiring, come alive in their book and in this course. Some are well known; others lie in their final resting place shrouded in mystery.
