New+Hampshire+1

John Mason (1586-1635) was a cofounder of New hampshire. In 1622 John Mason and Ferdinando Gorges recieved a charter to claime land for England between the Merrimack river and the Kennebec River.Together they named it New Hampshire. There were many people that also explored and tried to colonize New Hampshire. One man by the name of David Thompson was given six thousand acres of land in New Hampshire. He was told to start a plantation along the Piscataqua River. He would cultivate vine, discover mines, carry on fisheries, and trade with the Natives. It is said to be the first settlement in New Hampshire. ** __

Were are you going to work?__ ** The Colony of New Hampshire has many job offers. In New Hampshire most of the jobs come from the land. You could be a woodsmen and trade with the Natives. You could be a whaler or fishermen as the sea is brimming with life. It is cheap to make houses and barns to live in. You could dig up clay from the land to make bricks, and it is free. The forests are plentiful and you could make a living of cutting down trees and selling them in the market. Food in other colonies could be a big problem but in New Hampshire there is not a worry. You could hunt deer, bears, geese, duck, and passenger pigeons. You could also raise hogs, cattle, and chickens for food. If you are craving something sweet then you can buy a batch of sweet cider. There is food that is a hit in New Hampshire and it's called the potato. It seems that we are the main developers of the potato. These products are in such abundance that they make great exports. The Colony of New Hampshire has a very bright future. I belive that It will last for hundreds of years. There will never be a shortage of water because the rivers and lakes are filled to the brim with water. There is still a surplus of food and there has never been a famine. It seems that there is not a single flaw with New Hampshire. There are many job opportunities.
 * __The Future of New Hampshire__ **

**__ Are there any risks? __**

The Colony of New Hampshire, like any other colony, does have risks. Sure there are the Pennacook, Sokoki, and Abanaki. They do attack, but sometimes we are prepared. It is not that bad. You do have to be careful if you hunt on their land. Sure there are some dangerous animals. There are bears, and they can be dangerous. It is the same as any colony. You just have to be careful. **__What are the land regions like?__**

New Hampshire has three different land regions. The three regions are the New England Upland, the White Mountains, and the Seaboard.New Hampshire is the most northern colony of the thirteen original colonies. It lies between latitude 42-40 and 45-18 north and longitude 70-37 west. It is about 180 miles long and 50 miles wide. The colony has warm summers and cold winters. Concord and Manchester are the major city in New Hampshire. ** __New England Upland__ ** This region is on the southern half of New Hampshire. There are many rounded hills. The hills are separated from one another by beautiful lakes and deep valleys. Above the hills were many magnificent mountains called Monadnocks.

__** Sea Board Lo​wland **__ This region is made up of rolling plains and scattered low hills. This region is only 20 miles wide but nearly 50 miles wide where it passes in to Massachusetts. Coastline is made up of sandy beaches and with many big rocks. This region covers northern half of New Hampshire. There are many beautiful mountains that go across this colony. The mountains in this area are called Wh ite Mountains. White Mountains are the highest and most rugged in the United States. The mountains are divided into three different ranges. The Presidential range, the Franconial Mountains, and the Sandwich Range.

**__What can kids do?__ From the beaches of the Seacoast region to the windy peaks of Mount Washington, New Hampshire has outdoor activities for any kid any age. The main activity a kid would do would be sailing. Sailing would be a main activity because many kids will have to learn anyways because you catch fish on a boat. Fish and whale are two most kinds of food. __Dairy Entry__** "The air thereof is pure and wholesome. The country [is] pleasant, having some high hills of goodly forests and fair valleys and plains fruitful in corn,vines,chestnuts, walnuts, and infinite sorts of other fruits, large rivers well stored with fish, and enviored with goodly meadows full of timber trees,"said Sir Ferdinando Gorges, describing what the New Hampshire region was like in the early 1600s. "Here should be no landlords to rack us with high rents, or extorted fines to consume us. Here every man may be a master of his own labor and land in a short time. The sea there is the strangest pond I ever saw,"said Captin John Smith of England." by, John Smith __** Work Cited **__ http://www.visit-newhampshire.com/current_category.2448/companies_list.html .
