New Hampshire War Monuments: The Stories Behind the Stones

by Arcadia Publishing

Overview

A father's grief for his son. A daughter's grief for her father. And a love story that crossed continents and an ocean, coming to rest in a tiny New Hampshire town. This small state has more than enough heart, sending men and women to fight for freedom around the world.

New Hampshire military personnel have distinguished themselves in every war from the French and Indian War to the dusty mountains of Afghanistan. The Granite State continues to honor their sacrifices, memorializing their stories in statues, bridges, buildings and highways.

Join Kathleen and Sheila Bailey as they recount the stories behind the stones.
