The Old Man of the Mountain

New Hampshire was once home to a magnificent natural formation. In the White Mountains, locals noticed what looked like a face on the side of a peak. Obviously, that drew in tourists far and wide, who all wanted to see the miracle on the mountain. US politician Daniel Webster claimed it was a sign from the creator. He explained: “In the mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men.”

That all sounds very lofty. But we are sad to report that the old man is gone now. In 2003, the face slid off, all cracked. His fans actually placed flowers near his site to remember him. Sad times!
