New Hampshire: Though troubled by violent border disputes with Massachusetts and bloody wars with Native American tribes, New Hampshire was settled by knowledgeable merchants and disgraced ministers. They quickly infused the colony with a spirit of rugged industriousness and defiant individualism, that persist to this day. This engaging book looks at the rise of that spirit as New Hampshire grew.
