The Chocorua's Legend NH31

The Chocorua's Legend

In several versions, the legend's sequence relates the mysterious death of Chocorua's son while in the care of a settler named Campbell. Suspicious of the cause, the Pequawket chieftain took revenge on the settler's family. Then, in retaliation, Campbell killed Chocorua on the peak of the mountain now bearing the Indian's name.

NH-16, Chocorua Lake, 3½ miles N. of Chocorua Carroll County New Hampshire
