A note to readers of Volumes II and III of the Notes from the Field Series--I made a small historical error in these two editions, describing the old sign at the Maine-New Hampshire state line as reading "Welcome to New Hampshire, the Live Hike Free or Die State," when in fact it read, “You’re in New Hampshire Now. Happy Trails. Live Hike Free or Die."
Mea culpa. This will be corrected in future editions.
