Comng in the summer of 2012
A collection of photos, drawings, essays and news articles about the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Irene, which struck a terrible blow to Vermont, parts of New Hampshire and parts of Upstate New York in August 2011.
While the storm caused millions of dollars worth of damage and left communities isolated when bridges collapsed, in the end many residents said it became a positive experience as neighbor helped neighbor and communities began to rise again from the destruction.
If you have a photo, a work of art, a story or an essay you would like us to include, please don't hesitate to contact us about it. We would love to see it and place it in the book!

Annals of the Grand Monadnock
By Allen Chamberlain
The original history of Mount Monadnock, written by the man who hiked it, skied it and explored it for over 30 years and played a major role in its preservation. Using the research he did on the original owners of the area during his preservation efforts, Chamberlain describes the mountains history and lore. The book contains period photographs and notes. This new edition, a reprint of the original 1936 edition, includes a biography of Chamberlain and his efforts to preserve Monadnock. A portion of the sale of each book will go to the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.
