Bill Gove is a retired forester who has written three books on New Hampshire's logging railroads.  His first one was "J.E. Henry's Logging Railroads" and it covered the Zealand Valley Railroad and the East Branch and Lincoln Railroad.

His second book was "Logging Railroads of The Saco Valley" and it covered a half dozen railroads in the Saco River Valley area.

The third book, "Logging Railroads Along The Pemigewasset River" was published in 2006.

  Each of the three books is heavily illustrated, with maps and vintage photographs.   Bill has donated the photographs he used for the first and third books listed above to the Upper Pemigewasset Historical Society.  A representative selection has been uploaded and can be viewed by using the links below.

In addition to the photos donated by Bill Gove, the Society has an extensive collection of images relating to logging, railroads, hotels,  natural attractions, schools, town buildings, events, and other activities  in the Upper Pemigewasset region of the White Mountains.  This collection is growing and being added to as material becomes available.

There are surprisingly few photos of  J.E. Henry's operations in Zealand or the Zealand Valley Railroad.  If you have any, we'd be most interested in seeing them.
