Episode 127 New Hampshire Secrets, Legends & Lore Podcast
Put another log on the fire and get comfortable with the third and newest edition of their NH 4000 footers book. "The 4000-Footers of the White Mountains," co-authored by Mike Dickerman and Steve D. Smith. which has just been nominated for the "Peoples' Choice Award" in the NH Writers Project biennial awards contest.You may want to have a notebook handy to take some notes as well, because the 3 lb weight of this behemoth will probably be more than you want to add to your backpack, unless it's just for a short day trip.
Generally, the NH Writers Project doesn't consider books in their third edition but, for all intents and purposes, this is an entirely new book and has gone from 300 pages to 680 (larger) pages.
Where the first edition included only main routes up the mountains, the new version is comprehensive and include stories of some of the more innovative ascents of the more challenging peaks.
Mike hopes that as a tribute to Steve Smith, who has just retired and sold his "Mountain Wanderer's Bookstore" in Lincoln, NH, those who have purchased the book in earlier versions or have bought the third will head on over to the voting page for the Peoples' Choice Award.
Mike and Steve have both hiked the 4,000 footers in both the warmer weather and in winter. Mike says he completed his winter list in 1991, at the time he was number 142nd hiker to ever complete the list. Nowadays, Mike says, there are people who complete the list in a single winter.
