The literary world shook off last January 27, with the news about the death of famous writer J.D. Salinger, who died in his house of Cornish, in New Hampshire, the United States. It was in this small people where, the author of The Guard between the Hundredth one, spent the second part of his life. Do you want to know it?.
Cornish is a city full of wife's houses and wooded streets, surrounded with vales and forests. Nevertheless, for much that in her was living and Salinger has died, it is not that it is very well-known that we say. Nevertheless, from the XVIIIth century it has attracting to an artists' big quantity, between them sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who moved there in 1885.
Saint-Gaudens was followed by other personages of fame, like the landscape painter Charles Platt, the actress Isadora Duncan, and even the president Woodrow Wilson, who was spending the summers in Cornish. Nowadays there can be visited many of the houses in which all these artists lived.
One of the most interesting is the house in which precisely Saint-Gaudens lived, one of the biggest sculptors who has given the United States. It lodges more than hundred sculptures of this author, centred on the portraits that it realized to the president Roosevelt, to design the currency of the United States.
Cornish is also famous for lodging some of the nicest bridges of New England. For example, the Bridge of Windsor, constructed in 1866, and endorsed by the wooded hillsides of the river Conneticut, which turn it into one of the most picturesque autumn places of Cornish. This bridge is also the covered wooden bridge longer than the United States.
There are also another two bridges covered in Cornish that you can visit. They talk each other of the Bridge of the Smithy, constructed in 1881, and the Bridge of Dingeton Hill, perhaps the nicest of the three that we can see in Cornish.
Also one of the fairs takes place in Cornish outdoors more coloring that Hampshire is celebrated in New. It takes place in August, and between his events it includes contests of cattle and a sample of the gastronomic products of the region. The next fair will be carried out between 200 and on August 22, 2010.
Nevertheless, today Cornish lives in the deep sadness of the disappearance a few days ago of famous writer J.D Salinger. A perfect excuse her to go to visit, and know what were the last places that this brilliant North American writer saw in life.
