THE State of New Hampshire lies between Maine and Vermont, with Massachusetts on the South, a wilderness fronting on Canada and the beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The English sailor, Martin Pring, explored the coast in 1603, followed by Champlain and Captain John Smith. The first settlements were made by adventurous fishermen and traders, sent out by the English patron, at Cocheco (Dover), and Little Harbor (near Portsmouth), in 1623. The colony suffered from merciless Indian forays after King Philip's war. Hundreds of settlers were slain, and those who escaped passed into a dreary captivity in Canada. New Hampshire is one of the original thirteen States, and it sent 18,289 soldiers into the Revolutionary War. The State is famous for its mountains, lakes and rivers. The magnificent scenery of the highland country has, for generations, been admired by tourists from all parts of the world. Mount Washington, 6,293 feet high, is the highest peak on the Atlantic Coast. In the Franconia Notch the famous Profile, a massive stone face forty feet high, has figured in New England Art and Literature for nearly a century.
An extensive and varied system of lakes, which, in wooded islets, and mirroring the crests of famous mountains, make one of the foremost beauties of the State. The most noted is Lake Winnepesaukee, covering seventy-two square miles and adorned by 274 islands. The Connecticut River, New England's foremost stream, rises in a group of lakelets near the Canadian frontier, and runs south for 450 miles through a valley of extraordinary beauty.
