During the time of WW2, 1941-1945, New Hampshire was sometimes referred to as Cow Hampshire. Looking to help in the war effort, young US Senator Judd Gregg would tiptoe out to the cow pasture and paint all the black & white hereford cows with camoflage paint so's they could not be seen by German submarines just off the coast of Wolfeboro, NH.
