Hattie of Crawford Notch

Hattie Evans, a turn-of-the-century woman, was no stranger to hard work. Taking care of others was what Hattie lived for. When the Maine Central Railroad offered her, along with her husband Loring, jobs in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire, they both willingly embraced their new positions in their White Mountain wilderness home. Hattie knew she could competently run a boarding house for the crew of Section 129, but she didn't know how deeply she would have to call on all her strength and courage in the process as her life unfurled. This book is the fictionalized story of the real life and times of the Evans family and others who lived in the Notch from 1903 to 1941. It was the end of the Victorian age and the budding of a new century. Railroads still thrummed as the heartbeat of life, bringing with them events to celebrate as well as those that must be endured.
