Description
Mount Chocorua, Chocorua, New Hampshire
"There once may have been 240,000 miles of stone walls in America's northeast, more than the distance to the Moon. They took three billion man hours to build. And even through most of them are crumbling today, they contain within them a magnificent scientific and human story. Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed. The stone wall is the key that links the natural history and human history of New England." (Quote taken from the book cover of 'Stone by Stone' written by Robert M. Thorson)
