NEW HAMPSHIRE'S SYMBOL
NEW HAMPSHIRE'S SYMBOL IS THE OLD MAN IN THE MOUNTAINS,
WHO BESIDES GETTING THE NAME FROM THE PROFILE THAT IT
GIVES, THERE IS ALSO A LEGEND ALONG WITH IT.
THE INDIANS OF THE AREA NOTICED THIS PROFILE AND
WORSHIPPED IT LIKE A GOD. A RAIDING TRIBE WHO HAD
KILLED SOME OF THE INDIANS WHO WORSHIPPED THIS PROFILE
WERE TURNED TO STONE BY THE GREAT SPIRIT OF THE
PROFILE.
