In the language of the original area's inhabitants, Mount Monadnock, in the southwest corner of New Hampshire, is "the mountain that stands alone". This anthology with its rich mix of original essays, historical texts, and excerpts from oral histories, celebrates the natural and human history of this region through stories by Sy Montgomery, Jane Brox and Ernest Hebert, among others. Laura's guests are Howard Mansfield, local author and editor of this book and John Harris, Director of The Monadnock Institute of Nature, Place and Culture at Franklin Pierce College.
