    You Know You're In New Hampshire When...
    ...fast day dies a slow death
    ...you could win a moose instead of a million
    ...you partake in a plate of poutine

    New Hampshire has its own view of the world. Look through that lens and learn 101 quintessential people, places, events, eats, and traditions that help form the personality of the Granite State.

    You'll find out when you can't eat, what to do when your lottery winnings have antlers, and why combining French fries, cheese, and gravy (among other things) has delicious consequences.

    Whether you're a first-time visitor or a born-and-bred native, this book will make you smile as you discover what it really means to be in New Hampshire.




    New Hampshire
    War and Peace


    Price: $20
    ISBN 0-9650684-4-7

       New Hampshire's favorite storyteller trains his eye on the men and women - past and present - who honor our country and on those who honor them. That includes Walpole filmmaker Ken Burns, who rekindled a national passion with "The Civil War." It includes the members of the Keene American Legion Band, who honor America every time they play. It includes the dedicated drivers from the Disabled American Veterans who make certain that no veteran goes without medical care and it includes the folks from the North Country who wouldn't rest until a suitable monument marked the site of a B-17 crash in the Maine wilderness.

       They are heroes all, and in a time when we need heroes, their stories are all the more moving, inspiring and compelling.

       "New Hampshire: War and Peace" was published by Peter Randall Publishers of Portsmouth. The price is $20, which includes postage and handling.

    Here's what others have to say about John Clayton:

       "He's a tireless gatherer of the threads of our State's culture and society; it's hard to tell a story about. . . the Granite State that he hasn't already marked as his own."
    - New Hampshire Magazine

       "Clayton focuses unerringly and intimately on the people. . . There is a warmth and an affection to his writing; you feel he's a part of the community he's chronicling."
    - The Associated Press

       "Life in New Hampshire's largest city produces all kinds of shared, familiar experiences that often go unnoticed. Except by John Clayton."
    - The Boston Globe

       "Clayton writes gracefully and with great clarity. His wording is precise and his transitions are flawless, with one paragraph flowing into the next ever so smoothly."
    - New Hampshire Press Association.
