Nashawtuc Hill
USA
"The environs of the hill was farmed very significantly right up through the 1800s. William Wheeler was a civil engineer. He was the water commissioner for the Town of Concord. In fact when he graduated in the early 1800s from Amherst, the state land agricultural school, he went out to Japan as an assistant to his professor at Amherst to found an agricultural college for the Emperor. When he returned and built his home on Nashawtuc Hill, he brought with him a number of exotic, oriental trees some of which can still be found. The Katsuras, you can see several Katsuras around on the Hill, and a number of other trees that are rather special. When William Wheeler bought and put together the amount of land that I previously mentioned, from Egg Rock to Howard Johnson's, he laid a development road that began just being Nashawtuc Hill Road at first and then Attawan, Simon Willard, Musketaquid and several changes of roads that no longer exist or whose names have subsequently been altered. He built many of the small stonewalls that are now part of that road network. He laid sidewalks out which are hard to find today, but they do exist. He was responsible as the water commissioner for building the reservoir on the edge of the top of Nashawtuc Hill, which was then tied to Nagog. You'll note that the small pump house which still stands has a certain similarity to his own home in style." Gordon Hutchins Shaw Concord Oral History Program Concord, Massachusetts

More About USA

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.
