title: Monadnock: More than a Mountain
author:  Craig Brandon 
description: "In the newly publshed "Monadnock More than a Mountain," Craig Brandon offers a sweeping and colorful history of what is the most climbed mountain in North America." --Jan Gardner, Boston Globe 8/26/07<br /><br />"An enlightening, detailed account of how the centuries of vocal and written admiration fueled the passage of preservation laws to give us the Monadnock we have today...a worthy descendant of Allen Chamberlain's stalwart history..Brandon has touched on the breadths and heights of the historical Monadnock mosaic." --Steve Sherman, Keene Sentinel 11/18/2007<br /><br />"Craig Brandon's "Monadnock More than a Mountain" is an informative, useful and long-overdue successor to Allen Chamberlain's "Annals of the Grand Monadnock," first published by the Forest Society in 1936. This all new and updated history of Monadnock is a worthy addition to the rich literary legacy of the most-climbed mountain." --David Anderson, education director, Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests
