New Hampshire Rail Trails (New England Rail Heritage)
This is the way a rail trail guide should be written, melding railroad history and description with trail descriptions. Along with first-class maps, this is certainly the best overall book ever done on rail trails in the United States. --Craig Della Penna, Executive Director of Northeast Greenways Solutions and former New England Field Representative for the Rails-to-Trails ConservancyA must for every trail aficionado's bookshelf! This book has the added pleasure of being two books in one: a quick history of the rail lines that covered New Hampshire and a thorough guide to those rail lines which are now enjoyable trails. --Lelia Mellen, New Hampshire Projects Manager, National Park ServiceMartin weaves in what local rail groups have done recently [and] photos of what you might see along the way as well as history facts of the trail area.... Martin's researching and biking skills (he has logged hundreds of miles on the trails) have paid off; this book is sure to be a hit with local residents, tourists, and railroad fans. --Kearsarge Magazine, February 2008
