New Hampshire like every other state is unique… the first in the nation primary, Live Free or Die, the only "Henniker" on earth, a moose lottery, and the McDowell Colony. New Hampshire Union Leader columnist John Clayton has been called our state's "leading cultural maven", so who better to author a book about the 101 quintessential people, places, events, customs, lingo and little known facts about our great state. Did you know that the rock group Aerosmith's roots lie in the Granite State? Or that Archie comics creator Bob Montana wrote mainly from his experiences as a student at Manchester's Central High School? Or that the first tramway in America was built on Cannon Mountain? It's all in this book. Laura's guest is New Hampshire Union Leader columnist and author John Clayton.
