Mount Monadnock, from the campus of Franklin Pierce University, in Rindge, N.H.
"Mount Monadnock is to New England what Mount Olympus was to the ancient Mediterranean: not the the highest or the grandest mountain, not the wildest or the most difficult, but somehow the most sovereign mountain. It is middle-sized at 3,165 feet and stands alone in the middle of a plain in southern New Hampshire like a clipper ship in parking lot.''
