Granite State Stories: "History of the White Mountains" (REBROADCAST)By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, December 28, 2005.In our third installment in our Granite State Stories series we look at the history, mystery and the legends of our White Mountains through the pages of Lucy Crawford's "History of the White Mountains". Written during the booming expansion of America in the 1800s, when economic profit was to be had by those with a pioneering and adventurous spirit, Crawford's autobiographical tale recounts their family's struggles and triumphs as they work to settle the White Mountains. Lucy and Ethan Allen Crawford's story encapsulates this greater idea of "manifest destiny", that America would and should expand it's frontiers into new and uncharted territory. Today, much of what is known about the White Mountains comes from this first history of the region and its first family. We'll learn about the history of the White Mountains, the lives of Lucy and Ethan Allen Crawford and the role that the Whites play in our New Hampshire heritage today. Laura's guests are Charles Jordan, Editor of Northern New Hampshire Magazine and the Colebrook Chronicle and author of several books, including "Tales Told in the Shadows of the White Mountains", Robert McGrath, Professor Emeritus of Art History at Dartmouth College, who has written a book on the art of the White Mountains called "Gods in Granite" and John Mudge, owner of Durand Press, a company which publishes many books on the White Mountains, including the latest edition of Lucy Crawford's book, for which John edited and wrote the forward. He owns a large private collection of images and information on the White Mountains and is a frequent lecturer on them. *This show originally broadcast on 9/2/05* |
