Summary

"The general's courage and calm under pressure would be echoed by many other sons and daughters of Manchester in the succeeding centuries, as the hamlet settled around Amoskeag Falls grew into New Hampshire's largest city. John Clayton describes thirty-two of the Queen City's most remarkable residents, from Iwo Jima Flag raiser Rene Gagnon and fast-food innovator Richard McDonald to lesser-known but equally compelling figures, including the beloved lunch cart driver Arthur "Red" Ullrich and the late firefighter Dave Anderson. Collecting columns first published in the 'New Hampshire Union Leader', Clayton reveals the essence of Manchester's enduring strength and appeal: its people."" --Back cover
