First published in 1846, Lucy Crawford's History of the White Mountains is perhaps the most important book ever published about the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This is the genuine story of pioneers, of exploration, of growth & development & of a family that made enormous contributions to the lonesome life in the mountains that surrounded their farm. In Lucy Crawford's own words, this is the story of the hardships & challenges that the Crawford family endured & of the simple rewards that they enjoyed as they explored & opened this wilderness for others to also enjoy. This new 1999 edition has an introduction by John T.B. Mudge.
