New Hampshire, USA

New Hampshire lies in the northeastern United States. The first Indians came to New Hampshire more than 10.000 years ago. Very little is known about them except that hunted bears and deer with stone-lipped spears. It is estimated that some 5,000 Native American lived in New Hampshire when the first Europeans arrived. Most were called Abenaki coming from the region that today is known as Canada. The region was first explored by Martin Pring (1603) and Samuel de Champlain (1605). In 1614 the Englishman John Smith arrived in New Hampshire and established the first English colony at Jamestown, Virginia. The primary attraction was fishing, but timber and fur soon became important segments of the economy.
