“Buried New Hampshire” by Rick Davidson and Bill Thompson
From the seacoast to the White Mountains and the Great North Woods, New Hampshire burial grounds vary from urban, park-like cemeteries to solitary, lonely markers hidden deep in the woods. Tombstones tell fascinating stories of the past, often recounting heroic deeds or great tragedies. Personal histories become forgotten, but some survive in local lore. To create” Buried New Hampshire” for Fonthill Media publishers, authors and photographers Rick Davidson and Bill Thompson spent a year researching legends, following clues, and photographing granite state cemeteries. Rick and Bill will share their evocative color photographs and intriguing research. Celebrities, murderers, heroes, and various unusual characters, some tragic, some inspiring —come alive in their book. Some are well known; others lie in their final resting place, shrouded in mystery.
