New Hampshire Then and Now: Historical and Contemporary Photographs of the Granite State from 1840 to 2005,
By
This review is from: New Hampshire Then and Now: Historical and Contemporary Photographs of the Granite State from 1840 to 2005 (Hardcover)
Peter Randall has outdone himself once again. This riveting book shows the "before" of many the scenes we are familiar with in the New Hampshire that all of us love. While Peter complained to me that too many trees had grown up since the original image was captured, I think we are a much improved place since the mid-1800's, instead. Going to any historical presentation of the Granite State in the past will confirm that. We need the trees to be the New Hampshire of today that we all enjoy! This Grand and Magnificent Place: The Wilderness Heritage of the White Mountains (Revisiting New England: the New Regionalism)
by Christopher Johnson, should accompany this book for the historical references we need to see our passage to the present. Buy both as Amazon suggests. We have preserved ourselves quite well and keep getting better.

New Hamshire Now&Then,

This review is from: New Hampshire Then and Now: Historical and Contemporary Photographs of the Granite State from 1840 to 2005 (Hardcover)
The book has great illustration with a short history on the company or site shown. I think the background history could be a little more detatiled. There is also a typed mistake on the binding. The word "publisher" is spelled incorrectly. I was giving these as gifts and a person that had received it noticed the flaw. That is the only dissapointment to the book.

I purchased this book to gove to our library in memory of a friend who had recently passed away.He loved New Hampshire although he was a native New Yorker.The photographs were excellent. and I liked the concept of " then and now" It turned out to be a very suitable memorial.
