The Merrimack River begins with the confluence of the Pemigewasset and Winnipesaukee rivers spilling from the White Mountains in New Hampshire, then travels down through mill towns like Manchester, Lowell, and Haverhill to finally spit out violently into the Atlantic in the old port (now posh) town of Newburyport. In its journey between those points and as well across the centuries, the Merrimack River Valley has been America in microcosm, many of the nation's democratic successes and demagogic sins being seeded there. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Signature Series \u003c\/b\u003ecomprises signed, numbered, limited edition, hardcover reprints of select titles from the TRP backlist.
