New Hampshire, long recognized as the Granite State, was without its symbol as dawn broke over Franconia Notch. Estimated at five slabs of granite weighting approximately 700 tons and measuring 40 feet 5 inches from forehead to chin, the sacred symbol is mourned. Perhaps the profile's tumbling is best described by members of the Abenaki tribe, "When great ones turn themselves to stone, and the stone gives way, that is a release of spirit. Our chief has come home." Updated: 2003-05-06 13:01:00.0
