A good place to start is Move Buddha they have decent information on a variety of movers, cross country, local DIY, and so on. Back this by checking on reviews, one of their budget friendly recommendations (Safeway) has had a ton of bad reviews over the last 8 months.

That being said, your major carriers like American Van Lines or North American moving services are not scams.

Geography plays a role, Vermont was better suited to Agriculture and New Hampshire not as much, though New Hampshire was well suited for industrial production.

With agriculture, fewer people tend more land, and your hamlets and small towns develop accordingly. With industry and manufacturing, you need more people to work in a focused area and develop larger towns and small cities. Vermont's larger towns and cities tend to be a result of commerce (shipping, railroad hubs etc).

Brave Little State did an interesting piece on the development of the two states years ago.

I hear ya, brass knuckles are pretty devastating, and where the blow landed based on the mugshot... Dude's zygomatic bones surviving without damage to the orbital, maxillary or temporal processes seem unlikely. Not impossible though.

Unrelated tip: A Bic type lighter held in your hand turns your fist into a concrete block without the impracticality of carrying a roll of quarters or a deadly weapon like brass knuckles. The absolute best option is to walk away.

Emily's Bridge? Considering the backstory, maybe not.

Somewhere on the Bingham Falls loop or Sterling Gorge Falls trails? Or are they trying for a "Vermonty" town location?

My father had my brother and I start building one at the back of our property when we were kids.we did not do a lot. Decades later, in his retirement, he started working on it and made tremendous progress. After he died suddenly the wall sat, a reminder he was no longer here. So now, every time I visit, I go out and find more stones for the wall. Progress is slow but moves ever forward.

Norwich is especially competitive as the feed into the Hanover, NH school district, which is one of the highest rated in the state. The area is loaded with million dollar plus homes, and even the teachers' average salary is 97k annually.
