Based on a Haunting New Hampshire Legend Where Scottish exile meets Abenaki homeland, two fathers discover that some peace comes at an impossible price. 1722, New Hampshire. Scottish pioneer Cornelius Campbell and Abenaki leader Chocorua forge an unlikely alliance beneath the shadow of the White Mountains. Their fragile peace, and the bond growing between their children, offers hope in a land long scarred by conflict. But when the Boston Assembly’s Scalp Act unleashes bounty hunters across the frontier, violence follows. The outcast Puddle brothers arrive seeking redemption through blood money, and one act of betrayal ignites a tragedy that will echo for generations. As calamity consumes the Campbell homestead and two fathers are driven toward a deadly confrontation, they turn to the only currency that can save their families: sacrifice. Based on meticulous research and the enduring legend of Mount Chocorua, Carved in Granite reveals the human cost of America’s colonial frontier in prose as enduring as New Hampshire’s granite.
