Customer Reviews

Interesting

I purchased this book because I was going to the White Mts for vacation. I enjoyed reading the stories about the area I was going to visit.

Tales Told in the Shadows of the White Mountains

Very well done. Anyone with an interest in NH and the White Mts would enjoy these stories.

Wonderful, spooky tales

This book is enjoyable to read and quite interesting. I wanted to learn more about the state of New Hampshire and its people, and I love reading tales. This is just what I was looking for. Now I want to go exploring through the state myself.

very enjoyable

This book is a good read, especially at night before bedtime. The stories are not outlandish or embellished; just what has happened, or what peope think has happened over the interesting history of NH. I especially liked the real stories, such as the odd folk who lived away from civilization. Good writing by the author who has a lot of experience writing for NH magazines/papers.

A Review of Tales Told in the Shadows of the White Mountains

As a native to New England I've always been attracted to the obscure history of my surroundings. However, when I thought of New Hampshire I only saw typical New England; quaint farmland, fall foliage, not witch tales and traveling mummies. When I finished reading Tales Told in the Shadows of the White Mountains I had a sudden urge to pack up the car and go on a road trip.This isn't just a collection of embellished camp fire ghost stories. This is everything from strange facts to unsolved events in little mountain towns. So, if you have a taste for the unusual you should probably pick this book up.
