Fox Tale Books


Since colonial times, when Yankee pioneers first planted villages and homesteads in New Hampshire’s rugged hill country, the Granite State’s rural settlers have cultivated a vibrant pastoral society. Author Bruce D. Heald offers a richly nostalgic recollection of the traditions, pastimes and storied names and locales that have helped New Hampshire’s backwoodsmen carve out a unique identity in his book Memories from New Hampshire’s Lakes and Mountains: Fence Building and Apple Cider.  Heald will be discussing and signing Memories along with his homage to the Old Man on the Mountain, 101 Glimpses of the Old Man on the Mountain at Fox Tale Books Thursday, December 10 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.


With stops to consider such classic northern New England activities as ice fishing, maple sugaring and blueberry picking, Memories from New Hampshire’s Lakes and Mountains: Fence Building and Apple Cider takes the reader on a special journey through folk life during New Hampshire’s olden days. Included in the book are fantastic photographs and artwork from the early 1900s.


Heald is a professor of American history at Plymouth State University.  He is the author of more than 25 historical books about the lakes and mountain region of New Hampshire.


Fox Tale Books is located at 5 Monument Square(where Rte. 140 meets Rte. 11) in Alton. To reserve an autographed copy of either book or if you have any questions, please call 875-3690 or check out our Facebook page.

 


 

NH RC&DArea Councils Support Town of Gilmanton efforts to Improve Firefighting Capability


The New Hampshire Rural Fire Protection Initiative (NHRFPI), a program of the North Country and Southern New Hampshire Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Area Councils, is working with the Town of Gilmanton Fire Department, Selectmen, Planning Board, Emergency Management and other town officials to develop a Rural Fire Water Resource Plan. This service is provided at no cost to the town and is funded through the office of New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management.


NHRFPI’s Rural Fire Water Resource Plan will identify, evaluate, and map water resource sites available to local and mutual aid fire personnel for firefighting purposes. As residential development expands into forested and rural areas, the threat of wildfire becomes a greater concern and issue facing community planners.  The plan will assist community leaders in identifying and prioritizing those areas of town currently lacking adequate water drafting facilities. Developed in collaboration with the Fire Department, Selectmen, Planning Board, Emergency Management, other town officials and the public, the final plan will be a result of mutually agreed to actions that the Town will implement to help improve its emergency response to firefighting.  The plan will complement and enhance the local hazard mitigation plan and help ensure the safety and well being of town residents from the threat of structural and wildland fire.


All town residents are welcome and encouraged to participate in the planning process. For more information please contact Pat Tarpey, Project Administrator at North Country RC&D (603) 527-2093.
