With over 100 million streams to his name, Chronopoulos' latest single, "Don't Say a Thing," is the first release from his forth-

coming album, which is currently being produced in a historic mill in rural New Hampshire.

Orff began a half century career as a “forest ranger who works with animals,” his stated dream job as a 7year-old. A respected wildlife biologist, with more than thirty-one years at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and another fifteen years with the National Wildlife Federation, he still publishes a video blog called “What’s Wild in New Hampshire” that regularly receives hundreds of thousands of views each week.

Known for his educational programs and political action — If Only Moose Could Vote — Eric has been a literal voice in the wilderness, declaring the threat of climate change to be real, based on what he has seen in the woods. Sharing his knowledge of the changing climate even when his audience didn’t want to believe it.

Gibson’s to host author Millie Knudsen in these cases. Sometimes, their lives were just as fascinating as the crimes they were involved in, and Knudsen highlights these individuals in her case studies, which range from 300 to 800 words. The book is fully indexed and includes historical photographs of both criminals and victims, making it a valuable resource not only for true crime enthusiasts but also for genealogists and historians interested in the period.

In addition to the detailed case studies, Murder and Mayhem offers readers a glimpse into life in New England in the years leading up to World War I. The book is filled with gripping stories, including a case where two immigrant lumbermen’s friendly fiddle contest turns deadly, and another where a brutal knife attack is revisited 50 years

later with an unexpected Christmas miracle. One intriguing case asks how a $1,000 reward should be divided among those who helped apprehend a murderer who fled to Canada, while another explores the ingenuity of a person who rigged an alarm clock with an explosive to burn down a house while miles away.

Through her detailed research and storytelling, Knudsen shows that the duality of human nature—capable of both kindness and cruelty—has long been part of society. As Ernest Thompson, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of On Golden Pond,

investigating crimes.

Knudsen draws on primary sources such as prison registries from the New Hampshire State Prison, court records, and newspapers of the time, giving readers a vivid portrayal of the crimes and the broader societal responses to them.

Murder and Mayhem covers a variety of crimes, from murders and robberies to arson and sex crimes, and even includes cases related to financial fraud as insurance coverage became more common.

Knudsen also addresses the public health response to the 1915 influenza outbreak, including resistance to mask-wearing, a theme that resonates with contemporary audiences.

Knudsen’s work is particularly notable for her attention to the lives of the investigators, judges, and journalists who played critical roles

Gibson’s Bookstore will host a special event featuring veteran author and genealogist Milli Knudsen on Thursday, Nov. 21, at 6:30 p.m. at 45 South Main St., Concord. Knudsen will discuss her new book, Murder and Mayhem: True Crime in New Hampshire from 1883-1915*\, which explores a wide range of criminal activity and societal changes during this pivotal era in the state’s history. The event is free, and no registration is required.

Knudsen’s book delves into the dramatic ways crime and criminal investigation evolved between 1883 and 1915, a time of rapid technological, social, and legal change. As forensic science began to emerge as a valuable tool for solving crimes, both criminals and law enforcement had to adapt to new methods of committing and

Orphaned wild cats

By JAMES W. SPAIN For the Insider

There was a time right in New Hampshire when animals roamed that no longer can be found in our forests.

Concord certainly always had bears, moose, deer and more. The wild turkey has returned after being away for a long time. Over a century ago we had predators that were a concern too: wolves, mountain lions and cougars. In my research, I found this wonderful photograph dating back to the late 1800s. This young girl in Concord discovered two orphaned baby cougars roaming the forest. She took them home and nursed them to health, raising them until they were old enough

to be returned to the forest.

It is important to remember the depth of compassion held within the hearts of so many people, especially our children.

worldwide schism and lastminute protests, church leaders consecrate Gene Robinson New Hampshire’s next Episcopal bishop - and the church’s first openly gay one.

Nov. 2, 2002: A recent Concord Monitor poll shows the race for U.S. Senate between Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen and Republican U.S. Rep. John E. Sununu is statistically dead even. In informal interviews with nearly two dozen voters in Pembroke and Concord, most people say their decision will come down to their assessment of Shaheen’s performance during her six years as governor, or else specific issues, such as taxes or abortion.

Nov. 2, 1946: William Loeb purchases the Union Leader of Manchester.

Nov. 2, 1920: Albert O. Brown is elected governor.

Wallin, Mary Stuart Gile, Gloria Seldin, Liz Hager, Carol Moore, Toni Crosby, Marilyn Fraser, Katherine Rogers, Tara Reardon, Miriam Dunn, Mary Jane Wallner, Betty Hoadley and Sen. Sylvia Larsen. Come 1998, however, Rep. Dave Poulin will break up the old girls club.

Nov. 5, 1940: Arthur Smart of Tilton wins a seat in the state Senate at 29, despite the requirement that senators be 30 years old.

When a Monitor reporter discovers the discrepancy, Smart will be ousted.

Nov. 6, 2003: The Monitor reports that the murder trial of Gary Sampson is underway in U.S. District Court in Boston.

Nov. 6, 2002: Wet, heavy snow takes down tree branches and power lines, leaving thousands of people across the state without electricity. The slushy weather gives many schoolkids their first snow
