Art of the State: New Hampshire

It was the first colony to declare independence, and Samuel Wilson, the original "Uncle Sam," was born here. Robert Frost took the road less traveled in New Hampshire, and it was here that Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda rowed on Golden Pond. This illustrated tribute to the tradition-rich Granite State explores its history, politics, stunning scenery, and tourist draws, from the soaring White Mountains ("the Alps of America") to the famed MacDowell and Cornish colonies that have inspired writers and artists from Thornton Wilder to Maxfield Parrish to Leonard Bernstein.
