Download or read book A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear written by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tiny American town's plans for radical self-government overlooked one hairy detail: no one told the bears. Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road. When they descended on Grafton, public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws became meek suggestions, scarcely heard in the town's thick wilderness. The anything-goes atmosphere soon caught the attention of Grafton's neighbors: the bears. Freedom-loving citizens ignored hunting laws and regulations on food disposal. They built a tent city in an effort to get off the grid. The bears smelled food and opportunity. A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear is the sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying tale of what happens when a government disappears into the woods. Complete with gunplay, adventure, and backstabbing politicians, this is the ultimate story of a quintessential American experiment -- to live free or die, perhaps from a bear.

Download or read book The Indian Heritage of New Hampshire and Northern New England written by Thaddeus Piotrowski and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Years before Jamestown was settled, European adventurers and explorers landed on the shores of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts in search of fame, fortune, and souls to convert to Christianity. Unbeknownst to them all, the "New World" they had found was actually a very old one, as the history of the native people spanned 10,000 years or more. This work is a compilation of old and new essays written by present-day archeologists, by explorers and missionaries who were in direct contact with the Indians, and by scholars over the last three centuries. The essays are in three sections: Prehistory, which concentrates on the Paleo-Indian, Archaic, and Woodland phases of the native heritage, the Contact Era, which deals with the explorers and their experiences in the New World, and Collections, Sites, Trails, and Names, which focuses on various dedications to the native population and significant names (such as the Massabesic Trail and the Cohas Brook site).

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling saga of a most unusual family from the award-winning author of The World According to Garp. “The first of my father’s illusions was that bears could survive the life lived by human beings, and the second was that human beings could survive a life led in hotels.” So says John Berry, son of a hapless dreamer, brother to a cadre of eccentric siblings, and chronicler of the lives lived, the loves experienced, the deaths met, and the myriad strange and wonderful times encountered by the family Berry. Hoteliers, pet-bear owners, friends of Freud (the animal trainer and vaudevillian, that is), and playthings of mad fate, they “dream on” in a funny, sad, outrageous, and moving novel by the remarkable author of A Prayer for Owen Meany and Last Night in Twisted River.

Download or read book The Granite State written by Ronald Jager and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "New Hampshire is a small state, heavy with history". Such is the modest beginning of a narrative which is a masterpiece of concision. Accomplishing the nearly impossible, Ronald and Grace Jager have distilled more than three and a half centuries of history into a concentrated, yet refreshing essence. Taking as their subject the whole of New Hampshire's development, from the days of the Penacooks to our own, the finished product is far more than a mere condensation of historical data. The authors have captured the character and substance of New Hampshire's people, not just their deeds, with thematic threads that weave together the experience of generations. Authoritative and still highly personal, the story falls into four parts which, the authors explain, "best accommodate the historical experience of the state: " these are natural, political, economic, and cultural history. They maintain that "the strength of the state, the source of its surprising coherence, may be simply its history -- long, complicated, densely-packed, and very much present". Few, after reading this compelling narrative, will be able to look at any corner of the state without reflecting on its past. The fifth part of the book is unique in its own way, presenting the histories of many of New Hampshire's leading businesses and organizations, in a special chapter entitled "Chronicles of Leadership". An illustrated timeline of significant events in New Hampshire's history further enhances the text. In fascinating complement to the manuscript are more than 300 half-tone and color photographs, selected from thousands and representing every area of the state. Long-vanished scenes of rural and urban New Hampshirecompete for attention with stunning color reproductions of artwork, antiques, and costumes; picture-postcard vistas of today; dignified portraits of the great; and evocative glimpses into the peoples' everyday lives. Together with the text they form a sort of mosaic, very much like their subject: compact, rich with color, and of a most pleasing design.
