Thousands of motorists traverse daily the steep grades of
New Hampshire's Pinkham Notch, traveling ten miles in minutes.
Few people know the story of Daniel Pinkham, a young mid-nineteenth
century farmer in the town of Adams (now Jackson), New Hampshire, who had a
vision of building the first road through the rugged White Mountain Notch.
The Legislature gave Pinkham three years to build his road, a goal he nearly
reached when a terrific storm washed away his effort, bringing financial ruin. Long forgotten,
Pinkham is a true New Hampshire pioneer whose tale is told in this well-researched historical novel.
