Testimonials

"The Legend of the Old Man of the Mountain tells a beautiful and charming tale, offering a fitting homage to New Hampshire's famous, beloved and deeply mourned Old Man. Imagining great chief Pemigewasset reunited with his love will be a great comfort, helping to fill the gap in the reader's heart left by the Old Man's demise, even though the gap on the cliff remains."
