Good color, strong corners on cards.
2 of the cards feature the iconic Old Man of Mountains, formed during the Ice Age and worshipped by the Native Americans as the "Great Spirit". "First discovered by white men in 1805." It became the official TM of NH in 1945. Although not explicitly named, it’s widely believed Hawthorne based his 1850 short story "The Great Stone Face"—which was set in an anonymous state that happens to look like New Hampshire—on the Old Man.
On May 3, 2003, the craggy rock face known as New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain tumbled to the ground in spectacular fashion. For a landmark that had been in the state's DNA for generations, its collapse was like a death in the family to some. The day after it fell, people left flowers at the base of Cannon Mountain in Franconia Notch State Park as a sort of funeral tribute, and plans were immediately launched to create a longer-lasting memorial.
