Committee — OUGHT TO PASS
The committee is unanimous in its support for the proposed name change of Little Haystack Mountain on Franconia Ridge to Mt. Kosciuszko in order to recognize the Polish patriot who traveled to America in 1776 where he spent seven years without pay with our Continental Army under George Washington, eventually earning the rank of Brigadier General. Kosciuszko’s contributions as Washington’s chief engineer were profound, to include creating the defense for the crucial site of West Point. Kosciuszko was later bayoneted in a southern battle but survived. Our Franconia Ridge Trail has been listed as among the top ten hiking experiences in America. The trail covers several other peaks, including Mt. Lafayette, Mt. Lincoln, and Mt. Liberty. The proposed name change was suggested several years ago by an avid Granite State hiker of Polish descent. It was the subject of a bill which went to the Public Works Committee, but which did not move forward because the location is in a National Forest and thus subject to federal, not state control. Supporters hope that if this resolution passes, that our Governor will work with our federal delegation to satisfy all the relevant requirements so that this name change can raise important historical awareness during our nation’s Semiquincentennial (250th) birthday celebration, while also honoring the wonderful contributions that so many Polish-Americans have made to our state and country, including many who have served and still serve in this body. Vote 14-0.
