WOLFEBORO — New Hampshire authors Rick Davidson and Bill Thompson will host a presentation showcasing their new two-volume series “Buried New Hampshire: Graveyards Have Stories to Tell” on Friday, Oct. 24, at 4 p.m. at The Country Bookseller.

These books reveal the stories behind some of the state’s most intriguing burial sites. Each tombstone tells its own tale, reflecting the past and often revealing stories of valor, deep emotions, or significant tragedies.

In New Hampshire’s cemeteries, people can discover stories of European settlers, enslaved African Americans, Indigenous peoples, heroes, murder victims, murderers, artists, writers, and notable historical figures.

As authors and photographers, Davidson and Thompson dedicated a year to exploring legends, conducting research, following clues, and photographing cemeteries. They will share selected stories from their two volumes. Volume I is available for purchase, while Volume II is set to be released on Nov. 28.
