Based on a Haunting New Hampshire LegendWhere Scottish pioneer meets Abenaki homeland, two fathers discover that some peace comes at an impossible price.On the unforgiving frontier of 1722 New Hampshire, Scottish pioneer Cornelius Campbell and Abenaki leader Chocorua forge an unlikely alliance beneath the shadow of the White Mountains. Their fragile peace-and the growing bond between their children-offers hope in a land long scarred by conflict.But when the Boston Assembly's Scalp Act unleashes bounty hunters across the frontier, violence follows. The outcast Puddle brothers arrive, seeking redemption through blood money. One act of betrayal ignites a tragedy that will echo for generations.As calamity consumes the Campbell homestead and two fathers are driven toward a deadly confrontation, they turn to the only currency that can save their families-sacrifice.Based on meticulous research and the enduring legend of Mount Chocorua, Carved in Granite reveals the human cost of America's colonial frontier in prose as enduring as New Hampshire's granite."Plausible, historically true to the realities of the period and sensitive to the cultural differences that made the outcome doomed to a tragic end..." -Wayne D. King, Author of NH Five year Anniversary edition includes author's note on historical sources and the legend of Mount Chocorua.
