Book excerpt: Site of the Pilgrims' landing, incubator for religious freedom, first battlefield of the American Revolution, New England revels in its history. After all, America began here, with the hard- bitten pioneer spirit that endures to this day. Old and new seem equally comfortable butting up against one another throughout Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Here pristine colonial villages with white- steepled churches vie for attention with the chaos of cultures -and traffic- that is Boston. High-speed ferries carry visitors back in time to the whaling heyday of Nantucket. And sneaker- clad families retrace the steps of late-19C socialites through the gilded rooms of Newport's mansions. Come wander New England's winding country lanes and walk the halls of the region's many revered institutions of higher learning. Ski the slopes of Vermont or scale the summit of lofty Mt. Washington, New England's highest peak. Sunbathe on the beaches of Cape Cod and feast on the sea's bounteous lobsters and clams. And don't miss the spectacle of autumn, when the trees don their most brilliant attire. Whatever your fancy, may your memories of New England linger long to refresh your spirit.
