A signed hardcover edition of "Where the Mountain Stands Alone: Stories of Place in the Monadnock Region," edited by Howard Mansfield in 2006. This new anthology, with its rich mix of original essays, historical texts, and excerpts from oral histories, celebrates the natural and human history of a region that was especially favored by Thoreau. "That New Hampshire bluff," he wrote, "will longest haunt our dreams." The 384-page book features contributions from such writers as Sy Montgomery, Ernest Hebert, Janisse Ray, Tom Wessels, Richard Ober, Jim Collins, and Jane Brox.
