White Mountains: Names Places and Legends
|
Arranged alphabetically, this book gives the story behind the hundreds of names that are used to identify towns, mountains, trails, bodies of water, ridges, ravines, and even some of the rocks.
Readers will learn that Mt. Goose Eye . . . is reportedly a derivation of Goose High, meaning that the geese flew at this height when they passed the mountain and that Boise Rock is a large glacial boulder named after Thomas Boise . . . [who] found shelter under the boulder during a winter storm. |
