Who was Charles A. Hunt? That's the question Roy Bubb was often asked by visitors who viewed Hunt's White Mountain paintings in the Madison (New Hampshire) Historical Society's Museum. In preparing this book, Roy Bubb researched many Madison homesteads depicted in the Hunt paintings, and here reveals much town history concerning early settlers and their ties to each other as they struggled to farm the rocky hillsides. A native of Madison, Charles A. Hunt (1852-1930) painted what he knew, the farms of his hometown and, in the manner of other White Mountain artists, view of Mt. Chocorua, the Saco River Valley, and Mt. Washington. Adding to Bubb's work are the critiques of art historian Charlotte Colby Andersen, who describes Hunt's "wonderful sense of color" and "his excellent feel for composition". All of this skill shows "a painterly ability in a supposedly untaught painter".
