 .^^m HE PUBLICATION of this booklet has cre- 
 \^ ated another question for Mt. Agassiz guests. 
 They will ask me why I wrote this little Booklet, 
 1^^^^^^ and why they should make it one of their possses- 
 sions. During the past five seasons I have seen 
 many days on Mt. Agassiz when it was impossible 
 for any one man to answer all the cjuestions of the 
 visitors, and enable them to leave us feeling satis- 
 fied that they had learned all that they ought to 
 learn by visiting such a wonderful perspective. 
 People have said to me : 
 
 "Why don't you write up something about this 
 vicinity so that we can take it all back with us?" 
 This is my desire in writing this Booklet. I want to feel sat- 
 isfied that I have given my guests the opportunity to realize Mt. 
 Agassiz, Bethlehem, and the White Mountains at their cash 
 values. 
 
 We average nearly a hundred guests per day during the busy 
 season. There have been over two hundred visitors on this 
 Tower in a single day, and some have often times gone away 
 feeling that they would like to take the facts and impressions of 
 this beautiful panorama with them. When I am crowded with 
 people and questions, I frequently have to ask many inquisitors 
 to wait until the crow'd clears away in order that I may be at 
 liberty to explain certain matters of vital interest to them. This 
 little Booklet is going to afiford many valuable explanations 
 without inconveniencing my friends and visitors. In these fore- 
 going pages I have answered all the questions that have been 
 asked of me on this Tower as far as I can recollect. There are 
 explanations of this mountain, facts and statistics about Bethle- 
 hem and this immediate locality, and valuable knowledge about 
 the White Mountains as they interest you from this point of 
 view. You will find that this little Booklet ought to enable any 
 person of ordinary intelligence to find rest, comfort, and enjoy- 
 ment in Bethlehem and its vicinity. It shows you where to go, 
 tells you what you ought to see, and gives you the plain truth 
 about the things that people marvel at so much. It makes simple 
 to you w^hat was previously complicated. It tells you the truth 
 
about things of which you have had only a vague idea. It en- 
 ables you to visit intelligently the places you have heard about so 
 many times. Tourists and Bethlehem guests will find it indis- 
 pensable because there is not a publication like it obtainable any- 
 where else. 
 
 I must express my sincere thanks to those who have entered 
 advertisements, and thus made this Booklet a financial possibility. 
 I assure my readers that they will find every advertisement relia- 
 ble in every respect. Patronize them and they will convince you 
 of it. 
 
 I take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Mabel Harvey for her 
 facts and manuscript concerning the early history of Bethlehem. 
 
 So many seem interested to know who I am, and what my 
 profession is, that a short biographical outline might be appre- 
 ciated. I was born in the white house opposite The Reynolds 
 December 4, 189 1. This is my present home. I received my 
 early education in the Bethlehem Public Schools. I graduated 
 from the local high school in 1910. The following September I 
 entered Colby College, Waterville, Maine- My specialties in col- 
 lege were French, English, and Science. I graduated June 24, 
 1914, receiving the Bachelor of Science degree. 
 
 This Booklet is yours.

'Here nature smiles in loxing dreams, 
 In all her radiant light, 
 Till morning shadows softly fall, 
 To clasp the gems of night. 
 
 The distant mountains lend a charm, 
 To valleys robed in green ; 
 Fair Agassiz gives to one and all, 
 The best view ever seen." 
 
 T. AGASSIZ is becoming the most popular moun- 
 tain among A\'hite Mountain tourists and pleasure- 
 seekers of all Xew England peaks. The ease with 
 which one can ascend it, the modern accommoda- 
 tions for guests who wish to make their stay in- 
 side of a day, the equipment of the fine observation 
 tower, and the incomparable view, have led its vis- 
 itors to recognize it as the foremost of all the 
 White Mountain perspectives. From this little 
 mountain one can see over three hundred peaks 
 scattered over three states and Canada. On clear 
 days the majority of our guests claim that the 
 view is far superior to that of Mt Washington. 
 Feeling confident that this is the sentiment of the visiting public 
 we invite you to make us as many visits as you may choose, and 
 guarantee that your time and money will not be spent in xam. 
 
 Mt. Agassiz (formerly known as Peaked Hill) borders Beth- 
 lehem Street on the southeast. There are several paths leading 
 to the summit. (These are described under the heading of 
 "Bethlehem Walks.") This little mountain being only 2,464 feet 
 above the level of the sea (1000 feet above Bethlehem) is noted 
 for the fact that it lies in the ver}- center of a magnificent pano- 
 rama which includes nearly all of the principal AMiite Mountain 
 peaks. On no side are there any mountains or obstructions 
 which serve to shut off the view to those who seek the beauties 
 that this wonderful district affords. Mt. Agassiz off'ers the 
 geologist a rare treat. This mountain took its name from Louis 
 
Agassiz, the former Harvard professor, who, during his active 
 career, made what was then called Peaked Hill his headquarters 
 while searching for the glacial remains and moraines that occur 
 here in this region. Since that time his discoveries have been 
 of great value. 
 
 Present Equipment. Mt. Agassiz now has two fine stores, 
 one at the base, and the other at the top of the mountain. These 
 two stores are connected by a mountain-carriage-road 3-4 of a 
 mile long. This carriage road was constructed at a great ex- 
 pense, and only the special outfits now obtainable of Mr. Allen 
 Varney at the Sinclair House Stables are allowed to travel up 
 and down it. The summit of the mountain is equipped with a 
 modern building having a store, large hardwood floor, fireplace, 
 piano, porches, and every convenience for the mountain-climber. 
 To make this enterprise a thing worth while it was found neces- 
 sary to charge each person, who uses the conveniences, a toll of 
 twenty-five cents. This enables one to get a view from the 
 forty- foot observation tower which is equipped with an Attend- 
 ant, two powerful telescopes, and field glasses. The Attendant 
 supplies all the information that guests may desire, and also 
 should see that he alone directs the telescopes upon all the points 
 of interest to the visitors. After you have satisfied yourself with 
 the view, the Attendant will go down upon the rocks 
 at the foot of the Tower and blow the bugle. The echo is the 
 best known in the White Mountains. It has been favorably com- 
 pared to a large pipe organ, a choir of many voices, and to a 
 large symphony orchestra striking beautiful chords. The can- 
 non, a special feature, will be fired, for five cents a shot, for 
 those who desire to hear an echo which sounds like "Mayo bom- 
 barding Tampico." Anyone who wishes to celebrate, or to hear 
 the mountains tumbling together, will find this a profitable in- 
 vestment. The echo was discovered from this particular point 
 on Mt. Agassiz nearly fifty years ago. For many years only the 
 bugle alone was used to entertain the guests. I blew the bugle 
 alone two whole seasons and came to the realization that the echo 
 could be improved. I studied the principles of Sound, the causes 
 and conditions of echoes, and experimented with ditferent in- 
 struments and megaphones. With the present apparatus which 
 we have procured, we find that the volume and appreciation of 
 the echo is increased about forty fold. We are still working for 
 a further perfection which will be within the generosity of our 
 
guests to make practicable. Over 7000 guests listen to this echo 
 each year and pronounce it unequalled. The sound of the bugle 
 note is repeated three or four times, and the durations of the 
 echo varies from seven to ten seconds, depending upon the 
 weather conditions. When the weather is not clear enough for 
 a fine view, and the south wind is not blowing, it is decidedly 
 worth your while to ascend the mountain for the purpose of 
 hearing the echo alone. One or two days after a rainy spell is 
 usually the best time to get a view, or when the wind is in some 
 northern direction, thus insuring a clear atmosphere. The echo 
 is the best when there is not a breeze stirring from any direction. 
 
 The View. Turn towards the south ! At the left, and al- 
 most at your feet, the green Mt. Cleveland lies in sharp contrast 
 with the blue peak of Garfield, which stands nearly six miles be- 
 hind it. This magnificent, blue ridge before you is the Franconia 
 Range. At the right of Mt. Garfield is Lafayette, the most sublime 
 of all, lifting its rugged nose into the heavens. The western 
 declivity of this mountain is Eagle ClitT. The sharply de- 
 fined Franconia Notch is walled on the right by the sheer cliff of 
 Cannon Mountain, and there the Old Man of the Mountain re- 
 clines in peaceful vigilance. At the right of Cannon Mountain, 
 the long, elbowed ridge of Kinsman terminates the western limit 
 of the Franconias. Apparently adjoining Kinsman is the beautiful 
 mountain Moosilauke, tipped by its little hotel 4800 feet above 
 the level of the sea. Many a tired mortal does it lift out of all 
 contact with cares and worries that may have been left behind on 
 the hot and seething plain below ! This is no other place than 
 the breezy, germ-free, wide-spaced, sky-communing land of sum- 
 mer delight that soothes, and heals, and builds up tissue and 
 brain-cell — and satisfies. At the right of Moosilauke the rolling 
 of Black Mountain carries our eyes westward into a confused 
 mass of hills. Those of interest are Ore Hill, Garnet Hill, and 
 Sugar Hill. Silhouetted on the horizon back of Sugar 
 Hill are the Killington Peaks near Rutland, Vt. At the 
 right of these peaks, as far as eye can reach, appear the dome- 
 shaped Giants at the southern end of the Adirondacks. At the 
 north of the Giants, directly west and almost over the low Gard- 
 ner Range, is the isolated figure of a sleeping lion cachant on 
 the horizon. It is, however, only a mountain whose ferocity fate 
 has tamed by calling it Camel's Hump. Mt. Mansfield, the high- 
 est of the Green Mountains, lies at its right on the horizon barely 
 
south i)f Littleton. Mt. Elmore is a peak apparently Hanking 
 it on the northern end. Now turn a little to your right and look 
 over the western end of Bethlehem Street. Lift your eyes over 
 the Dalton Mountains, over Mt. Pisgah and Barton Mountain ! 
 The needle-like peak way back on the northwest horizon is 
 Owl's Head on the edge of Lake Memphremagog in Canada. 
 Jay Peak is the dim crest on its left. All of these peaks on the 
 horizon are from sixty to seventy miles distant. Xow turn and 
 face the north ! At your feet the streets of Bethlehem lie com- 
 fortably like well-arranged rows of toy houses. Seven miles 
 away the graceful Dalton Range rests between us and the minor 
 peaks of the Green Mountains (Vt.). A little at your right you 
 cannot help noticing Forest and Montgomery Lakes, deeply in- 
 laid in the woods. Back of Lake Montgomery, Mt. Orne, Mt. 
 Prospect, and Mt. Pleasant serve as a foreground to the Strat- 
 ford and Percy Peaks in Northern New Llampshire. This is the 
 direction of Colebrook and Dixville Notch. In the northeast, 
 beyond the sylvan Martin Meadows, the little summer encamp- 
 ment of Jefferson sits under the brow of the Pilot and Pliny 
 Mountains. These include the Terraces, Round Mountain, 
 Starr King, W'aumbek, and the Pliny Mountains. The 
 wonders of the east are now tempting you. What an 
 awe-inspiring sight! We follow up the beautiful Ammonoosuc 
 Valley flanked on the right by the Sugar Loaves, Mt. 
 Hale and the Twins, and on the left by Cherry and Deception to 
 the base of the most magnificent of all eastern mountain ranges. 
 Twenty miles away, although it seems but a stone's-throw on a 
 clear day. In the center of this range the lofty, cone-shaped 
 peak of Mt. Washington rises to the very lining of the clouds, 
 and pierces their heavy banks that the sun may dissipate them. 
 At its left the flat summit of Clay is flanked by the two pyra- 
 mids of Jetferson and Adams. Mt Madison is too far back to 
 be seen. At the right of Mt. Washington the irregular ridges of 
 Monroe and Franklin descend slowly towards the south until the 
 dome-shaped Pleasant interrupts their progress. Mt. Clinton 
 slides down gradually towards Crawford Notch and is perpet- 
 uated by the flat line of Jackson, which disappears behind Mt. 
 Hale of the Franconias. May the view and spirit of this splendid 
 little spot overwhelm you, as it has thfiusands of other visitors, 
 and inspire you lastingly with its gorgeous beauty and freedom. 
 
About Momxt WtxBl^xn^ton 
 
 One day trip from Betlilehem by leaving on early morning 
 train and returning on a late afternoon train. Fare about $5.00. 
 Advisable to take lunch. Time allowed on summit from 11. 15 
 A.M. until about i.io p.m. Second highest peak east of Missis- 
 sippi River. Usually average about a score of perfectly clear 
 days during the season. Tuckerman Ravine and Carriage Road 
 are on the southeastern side of the mountain. Cog-railway is on 
 the western side. View differs from Mt. Agassiz in that you 
 are up over twice as high and can see into the state of Maine, 
 and also a strip of the Atlantic Ocean near Portland. There are 
 no public telescopes nor field glasses on Mt. Washington, neither 
 is there any means of obtaining reliable information. Being- 
 above the timber line there is no need of an observatory. The 
 fire of June 18, 1908, destroyed the Summit House, the Govern- 
 ment Observatory, and minor buildings. The Old Tip Top 
 House still remains as the only convenience for visitors. The 
 N. Y., N. H. &: H. Railroad Company are planning to replace 
 the old Summit House in the near future by a similar structure. 
 The cog railway was invented by Sylvester Marsh of Littleton, 
 and constructed during the years of 1866-67-68. It is about three 
 miles in length, and ascends at an average altitude of 1300 feet to 
 the mile. The steepest part of it (Jacob's Ladder) ascends 1980 
 feet to the mile. (Mt. Rigi, Switzerland, has a similar road.) 
 There never has been an accident causing injury or loss of life 
 on the cog road. The appliances for stopping the train are of the 
 most perfect kind. An engine weighing 6^ tons pushes up one 
 car at a time. The engines are rated as 50 horse power, but are 
 really 200 horse power on account of their gearings- Nearly 10,- 
 000 people visit the Summit every season. The Tip-Top House 
 offers temporary accommodations to guests who wish to spend 
 the night and see the sun rise. Jacob's Ladder and the Lake of 
 the Clouds are only short distances from the Summit. Climate 
 at the Summit is similar to that of (Greenland at 70 '^ X. latitude. 
 The temperature and vegetation warrant this statement. Lati- 
 tude is 44° 16' 13" N. and the longitude is 71° 18' 13" \V. The 
 best features of this mountain are the sunrises and sunsets, be- 
 ing-above-the-clouds, the cloud-effects, wonderful colors, percep- 
 
tion of tlic beginning and progress of storms, conflicts of the 
 wind and clouds, fluctuations of thermometer, etc. Here there 
 are attractions for tlie botanist and the geologist. Mt. \\ ash- 
 ington was first ascended by Darby Field and two Indians in 1O42. 
 Believed to have received its name in 1784. First house built at 
 the Summit in 1821 by A. F. Crawford. .Summit House built 
 in 1852, and the Tip-Top House was constructed the following 
 vear. .Se\eral persons ha\e perished during the climb to the 
 summit of this peak.

 WO OF the first three settlers of Ikthlehem were 
 Benjamin Brown and Jonas Warren who came 
 from Massachusetts in 1777 and 1778. The name 
 of the other family is not known. Records 
 show that James Turner began to build his cabin 
 in the spring of 1790, and clear away the land on 
 Lloyd's Hill. Two years later he married Mrs.. 
 Parker, a widow, of Hanover, N. H., and came 
 here to live permanently. He was the third known 
 settler. 
 
 In 1794 the family of Lot Woodbury moved to 
 Bethlehem from Roylston, Mass., coming across 
 ^ the country on an ox-sled. 
 
 At this time Bethlehem was mostly a forest which had to be 
 cleared away. The land was remarkably fertile, the water was 
 cool and pure, the air was invigorating, and the scenery was in- 
 spiring. 
 
 Bethlehem was originally surveyed by Nathaniel Snow,^ and 
 incorporated December 27, i799- It was called Lloyd's Hill at 
 first. At the town meetings it was necessary for one man to hold 
 several offices, but the population soon increased. Here is an 
 extract from the record of the first town meeting: 
 
 "March, A. D., 1800, voted as follows: 
 Sworn I. Made choice of Moses Eastman for Moderator. 
 Sworn 2. Made choice of Moses Eastman for Town Clerk. 
 Sworn 3. Made choice of Moses Eastman for First Selectman 
 Sworn 4. Made choice of Nathaniel Snow for Second Select- 
 man, etc. ,, , 
 A true copy attest Moses Eastman, iown Llerk 
 Moses Eastman, Moderator. 
 
 The first child born in Bethlehem was a daughter, Abigail, to 
 Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Brown, 1794. The first death was that ot 
 Mrs. Lydia Whipple, March 17, 1795- 
 
 13 
 
All of the early settlers were of hardy, pioneer stock, and it i> 
 due to their efl'orts that Bethlehem became the pleasant, com- 
 fortalile resort so famous as it now is. l'eoi)le of good hahits, 
 industry and economy running hand in hand with integrity circ 
 hound to he i)rosperous. Mrs. Turner acted as their hrst i»hy- 
 sician, and we cannot find that she e\er lost a case. 
 
 ."^oon after the organization of the town two cluirches were 
 huill. The first one, the Free Will P>aptist, was located about a 
 mile west of the village at the junction of the Littleton and 
 Cherry \'alley roads. The second church, Congregational, stood 
 on the grounds now occupied by the Arlington Hotel. Later a 
 new Congregational Church was erected in the location of the 
 present one, a Methodist Church was built on the site of our 
 present structure, the Episcopal Church is yet on Strawberry 
 Hill, and the old Catholic Church is still standing at IJethlehem 
 junction. 
 
 Tlie present Jackson 151ock was built years ago by a Mr. 
 Crufl. i'Or many years it lias had the distinction of being the 
 l)rincipal building, and the town hall. ()nly two years ago the 
 new town building now standing on th.e corner of Maple and 
 Ahiin .Streets was erected, and made a gift to tlie town of Bethle- 
 hem by a very loyal and respected citizen, Mr. Cieorge T. Cruft. 
 At one time Mr. Cruft owned the Maplewood Estate. The old 
 building now contains the Jackson Department Store, the print- 
 ing otiice of the Betlilehem Ontlook, Haggle's Shoe Shop, a fine 
 dance hall, and the lodge rooms of the Cirange, (_)dd Fellows, 
 Maccal)ees, and Rebeccas. The telephone central is also located 
 in thi^ building. The New Town Building contains the librar\ , 
 the jail, public assembly room, and tlie ofhces of the town 
 otificials. 
 
 W hen \<)U come to consider the excellent natural advantages 
 of this town, its elevation of nearly 1500 feet above sea level, its 
 pure air and water, its pleasant days and cool nights, no noise, no 
 dust, opportunities for pleasure, outing, sport, and recreation, you 
 will not ask us why there is a necessity of thirty splendid hotels 
 here, and about fifty up-to-date cottages catering to summer \'is- 
 itors. 
 
 About lifteen years ago a few of IJetliLdiem's leading 
 citizens led by Mr. Frederick L. W bite, formed the Bethle- 
 hem Lark .Association which is now called the B)ethlehem 
 C'ountry Club. This .Association is supported by the citizens, 
 and aims to ])romote golf, baseball, and other i)opular sports 
 
 14 
 
such as our guests enjoy. The old nine-hole golf course has 
 been replaced by one of the best eighteen-hole links in the 
 countr}^ Recently the Association has constructed a modern 
 Club House on Main Street near the Highland House. It is a 
 strictly up-to-date structure, and is greatly appreciated by the 
 lovers of this sport. Bethlehem supports a baseball team during 
 the summer season. It is composed of college and high school 
 players of ability. The grounds and large grand-stand are con- 
 structed in such a way as to enable all of our guests to enjoy the 
 games without inconvenience or confusion. 
 
 Bethlehem has been noted many years as the retreat and quick 
 relief of those affected with hay fever. It is certainly benelicial 
 to no small number of diseases and ailments to treat them with 
 the magic remedies that Bethlehem's air, water, hotel service, and 
 natural advantages afford. The United States Hay Fever Asso- 
 ciation holds its convention here every summer. 
 
 Bethlehem is also noted for its rare advantage of being the 
 nearest to all the points of interest of any town in the White 
 Mountains. It is ideally located, being so near to all the wonders 
 and scenic beauties that the "Switzerland of America" affords. 
 The table of drives in the back of this booklet will convince you 
 that Bethlehem is "the resort" and the "hub" of the White Moun- 
 tains. It is really the largest mountain resort in the eastern part 
 of the United States. 
 
 One of the most loyal and generous citizens in the history of 
 Bethlehem is Mr. J. J. Glessner, a Chicago Agricultural Imple- 
 ment Manufacturer. When you travel in the western part of 
 the town the splendid work of Mr. J. j. Glessner and his son, 
 Mr. George Glessner, will certainly excite your admiration. 
 Miles and miles of perfect highways, guarded by symmetrical 
 stone walls, made from the stones that previously spotted his 
 fields, add wonderfully to the drives in this direction. The 
 roads in and around his estate are artistically planned, and are 
 shaded by beautiful foliage. The field and orchards are unex- 
 celled, and his gardens make you admire his exceptional resource- 
 fulness. For such a devotee to the welfare and upbuilding of 
 our town we ought to be forever grateful. 
 
 Spend your vacation in Bethlehem and you will not regret it. 
 For a town of only twelve hundred industrious inhabitants you 
 will find that you can improve your time much more pleasurably 
 than you may expect. Music, dances, golf, baseball, horseback 
 riding, automobiling, climbing, and driving are among the many 
 
 15 
 
attractions. It will be a satisfaction tor you to find the well 
 lighted and well sprinkled, macadamized thoroughfares, the ex 
 cellent water system and drainage, the automobile and carriage 
 service, and tb.e convenient omnibus and train accommodations 
 
 "Transferred through you, O mountain friend.-,' 
 With mine your solemn spirit blends, 
 And life no more hath separate ends. 
 
 IJfe's burdens fall, its discords cease, 
 
 I lapse into the glad release 
 
 Of Nature's own exceeding peace."

 Note. — Lach of the telescopes magnify ()o diameters. The 
 field glasses magnify some 6 and some 8 diameters. Conse- 
 quently the field glasses are more serviceable on a hazy day be- 
 cause they do not magnify the humidity and opaque particles in 
 the atmosphere, and tlius obscure the object which you wish to 
 observe. The field glasses have an excellent clarifying power. 
 The telescopes are too expensixe to be handled by the public. 
 Oidv the attendant is allowed to mo\ e or adjust them.

 Geology. Since the geological structure of a country deter- 
 mines largely its natural scenery, it is important that you should 
 read this simple explanation. To most of us a pebble, a ledge, 
 or a mountain of mineral and geological wealth presents only an 
 outward appearance. To many other people this phase of nature 
 contains mysteries and scientific wonders. The general classi- 
 fication of White Mountain rocks is as follows : ( i ) the granite, 
 
 18 
 
from which this state receives its name, and (2) gneiss, which 
 has somewhat the same appearance as granite. The characteristic 
 variety of Bethlehem gneiss, so called, is composed of the light, 
 flesh-colored feldspar which largely predominates, chorite in the 
 place of mica and light-gray quartz. Berlin, or the Lake gneiss, 
 is composed of the light-colored feldspar, dark gray quartz, and a 
 large proportion of the black mica which occurs in plates of con- 
 siderable size. An explanation of the different systems is too 
 long to be explained here, but anyone interested in this subject 
 may refer to Sweetzer's or Osgood's "White Mountains." The 
 general features of the country naturally attract the tourist most. 
 They love the mountain summits, the gorges, the high and over- 
 hanging cliffs, the deep-worn channels of the streams, the valleys, 
 the ravines, the travelled boulders, and the general phenomena of 
 the drift. During the cycle of vanished ages, while the im- 
 mense beds of fossiliferous strata were being formed, a process 
 of slow decay was going on wherever an area of crystalline rocks 
 appeared, so that in some places this decay must have reached 
 the depth of many hundreds of feet. Then came the great ice 
 age, when the continental glacier w^as of so vast a thickness that 
 even Mt. W^ashington was covered by the ice-sheet, and north- 
 ward the thickness must have been immense. From the mole- 
 cular pressure in this enormous mass, the great ice- 
 sheet moved southward, or to the point where it thinned out 
 towards its edges. The ice-sheet often carried this decaying rock 
 many miles, sometimes across deep ravines and over mountain 
 ridges. This is perhaps the reason why these mountains are not 
 pointed and the general trend of the land is undulating. Gorges 
 like that of Franconia Notch, where there are dift'erent strata 
 of rock included between rocks of different geological formation, 
 must have had a primitive origin. Many of the valleys w^ere un- 
 doubtedly formed by the decaying of rocks, by water, and by 
 glaciers. Freezing and thawing of the water in the crevices of 
 the ledges cause the rocks to disintegrate. W^e have no glaciers, 
 but there are some very interesting moraines in the valleys of 
 these mountains. 
 
 Topography. The \\'hite Mountains cover an area of about 
 1400 square miles including about iv'jo mountain peaks. This 
 area is bounded on the north by the Upper Ammonoosuc and 
 Androscoggin valleys, on the south by the Lake W'innepesauke 
 region, on the west by the Connecticut River A'alley, and on the 
 east by the frontier of the state.

 15 miles running S. S. W. Franconia Range l)egins with the 
 eastern side of Mt. Rosebrook, and runs W . .S. W. tor about

 and Black Mountain of the southwestern range. 
 
 .S(k\i:kv. No matter where tourists have travelled they 
 ne\er lose their admiration and interest in the White Mountains. 
 The foremost charm of the "Switzerlanci r)f America" is its in- 
 hnite \ ariety of scenery, inexhaustible in its resources, and un- 
 limited in its manifold combinations. We have the rare advan- 
 tage of viewing the mountains of our neighboring states and 
 Canada. The features of the intervales, and the le\el. green 
 meadows which adorn these valleys are peculiar to New England, 
 and add an element of richness and (|uiet beauty over which the 
 \ast and rugged mountains appear in strongest contrast. Tlie 
 element of color appears in this region in manifold \arieties of 
 combination and brilliance, varying moreover, not onlv with tlie 
 changing seasons, but with the changing hours of the day. The 
 forests, too, with their intermingling of evergreen and decidu- 
 ous trees, clothe the slopes of the ridges witli soft and re>tful 
 tints, anci fill the more remote valleys with tb.e luxurious frondage 
 of a primeval wilderness. They gi\e rise, also, to the most mag- 
 nificent displays of coloring when the earlv frosts of autumn and 
 the full ripening of their leaves combine to produce the matchless 
 pageantry of yellow and scarlet, brown and gold, in which tlie 
 highlands are arrayed. Our mountain-walled lakes and sparkling 
 streams are delightful; our valleys and glens are clothed in 
 charming foliage ; and our mountain ranges with their lofty and 
 pictures(|ue peaks are worthy of your liest admiration and studv. 
 A visitor once asked a farmer, near one of these ranges, if lie did 
 not enjoy the majestic views around him. "\\ al, yes," lie re- 
 plied, "but if I'd had the sortin' of these hills Pd a made them a 
 little ])eakeder." This idea often suggests itself to our tourists.

 MiSTOKV. According to Dr. Belknap, the Indians called these 
 m.duntains Agiochook, which means "The Place of the Great 
 .'>j)irit of the I-'orest." The eastern tribes called them W'aumbek- 
 ket-methna, which means "Snowy Mountains." The W hite 
 Mountains were first seen by a Florentine navigator. V^erra/.anno, 
 in the year 1524. In the year 1624 Darby Field named them 
 "Crystal Hills" on account of their gem-like appearance. They 
 recei\ed the name of White Mountains from the sailors of the 
 coast to whom they were a landmark and a mastery, liftin.g tlieir 
 crowns of snow against the blue sky from October until June. 
 The name. "White Mountains" first occurs in Inselyn's Voyages 
 [jublished in 1672. F^:>r the last fifty years they have been the 
 summer retreat of scientists, naturalists, students and pleasure- 
 seekers. It is estimated that over 200,000 people visit these 
 mountains every summer season. Bethlehem alone is said to en- 
 tertain no less than 14,000 for a week or longer. Nearly $5,oc")o,- 
 000 is spent in this state every year by pleasure seekers. 
 
 The \\'hite Mountain peaks received their names from 
 farmers who lived near them, from incidents connected with 
 them, from certain characteristic peculiarities, from towns near 
 which they stand, or from great men whose favorites they were 
 in vears past. (Mt. (iarfield.) Six peaks of the Presidential 
 Range were named from the first five and the seventh presidents 
 of the United States, John Quincy Adams's namesake, invisi- 
 ble from Mt. Agassiz. is also one of the Presidential Range 
 Benjamin Franklin also has a namesake in this range. Among 
 other United States presidents remembered among White Moun- 
 tain peaks are Lincoln, (iarfield. and Cleveland. Among the va- 
 rious peaks we find the names of the following great men : Gen- 
 eral Lafayette. Henry Clay. Daniel Webster. Starr King. Piiny, 
 Fdward Fverett Hale, and Professor Louis Agassiz. 
 
 During the last hundred years the forests have resounded 
 uith the woodman's strokes ; the hand of industry rapidly, as if 
 bv enchantment, has laid open new fields and erected commo- 
 (hous dwellings; commerce has b'een extended, and the means 
 
 21 
 
of literary and religious improxements liave been multiplied. 
 What used to be cow-paths and blazed trails tlirough the deep 
 forests and over the rough hills, over troublesome and 
 dangerous streams, through miry and hazardous swamps fre- 
 quented by wolves, bears, and catamounts, are now wide 
 thoroughfares fit for the discriminating tourists to race their 
 automobiles over. Very little of the primitive forests remain. 
 The United States government has recently reserved vast terri- 
 tories in Crawford Notch, and along the Presidential and Fran- 
 conia Ranges, in view of eliminating the destructive force of the 
 woodman's axe which not only felled the timber but spared not 
 the young growth which obstructed the way. Men have pre- 
 dicted the day when the entire White Mountain region of wilder- 
 ness will be bought up, and made a National Park by our Gov- 
 ernment. Then the forest and its natural foliage will be pre- 
 served, the woods will be stocked with animals, and the streams 
 and lakes with fish. During recent years the state government 
 has established a forest fire system which undoubtedly has 
 saved many millions of dollars worth of property in the .last five 
 years. We find that all means of transportation have improved 
 with the process of evolution. In recent years it has become 
 necessary to build more hotels and make decided improvements 
 upon the ones which have been standing for a few years. The 
 equipment of such hotels as the largest ones at Bretton Woods. 
 Jefferson, and Bethlehem, will compare favorably in commodi- 
 ties and service with the best hotels in the large cities. 
 
 Season. The most favorable season to spend your time in 
 the W^hite Mountains used to be named as July and August. Ten 
 years ago August was the booming month in the mountains, and 
 it is at present. September, however, is becoming a very desir- 
 able month because of the cool weather, the beautiful days, the 
 charm of the variegated foliage, and the greater chance of having 
 a maximum number of clearer days to get the views. The mag- 
 nificence of the mountains is incomparable wdien they lift their 
 snowy peaks above the valleys which are clothed in autumnal 
 foliage. People come to the mountains in July and August 
 primarily to avoid the dirt and sweltering heat of the cities. To 
 really enjoy the mountains one should live in them from June 
 until November. The latter half of June is the blossom season 
 of beauty in the mountain districts; the first half of October is 
 the time of full-hued fruitage. July and August avoid the heat 
 and suffering of the city disturbances ; September guarantees 
 
 22 
 
jou the most impressive views and the fairest weather ; (Jctober 
 leaves with you the heahh, spirit, and satisfaction that ought to 
 keep you happy and efficient all winter. It is possible to find 
 accommodations during the winter in the mountains, but the 
 ascent of the higher peaks is a perilous undertaking. Storms 
 seem to come upon you out of a clear sky, the wind blows at 
 record speed, and the cold is intense. The winters are long, last- 
 ing usually from November until the first of May, and there is 
 an abundance of snow. 
 
 Pedestrian Tours. It is possible to ascend Mt. Washing- 
 ton from the western side by the cog railway, but the Boston & 
 Maine authorities forbid it for fear of possible accidents. (The 
 ■easiest way to ascend Mt. Washington is by the cog-railway. 
 The distance is nearly four miles, one and one-half hours from 
 the base. By train it will cost you about four dollars from the 
 Base Station.) There is also a path leading up over Mt. Pleas- 
 ant from the Mt. Pleasant Hotel. This is about eight miles in 
 length. The most common trail is the Crawford Trail which 
 leads up over the range from the Crawford House. This trail 
 is nine miles long. The northern trail can be found near Gor- 
 ham. It ascends Mt. Madison, leading by Madison Hut up over 
 Adams, Jefi:er.son, and Clay. This trail is no shorter than the 
 Crawford trail. The only trail ascending from the eastern side 
 of Mt. Washington is the Tuckerman Ravine trail which leads 
 from the Glen House (Pinkham Notch) through this ravine for 
 a distance of about five miles. The carriage road also ascends 
 from this Glen House. An ideal trip is to ascend Mt. Washing- 
 ton by train and descend on the eastern side to the Glen House 
 by carriage. Then one goes by tally-ho through Pinkham Notch 
 to The Glen (Crawford Notch) and back to Bethlehem by train. 
 Trails up Mts. Willard and Webster will be found at the Craw- 
 ford and W^illey Houses respectively. Mt. Willard is an easy 
 climb, and affords an excellent view. Only Washington, Agassiz, 
 and Moosilauke have special accommodations for the comfort 
 and convenience of guests at their summits. At the Waumbek 
 Hotel, at Jefiferson, guests will easily be able to find tlie trail lead- 
 ing up Mt. Starr King. From the Twin Mountain House people 
 find it easy to ascend either the Sugar Loaves or Cherry 
 Mountain. Tourists ascend Mts. Lafayette, Eagle Clift', Bald 
 and Cannon from the Profile House in Franconia Notch. There 
 is a ttail from up Lafayette across the ridge to Mt. Garfield. 
 The trail up Lafayette is about four miles long, and will take as 
 
 23 
 
nuuli strciii^th dut of you as the ascent of Alt. W ashiiii^ton. Mts. 
 LilicTlw Lincoln, Mume. and Femigewassct arc usually ascended 
 from trails which lead off from the hi,^h\\a\- between the Profile 
 and I'lume Hotels, or from the trails leading- out from points 
 near the hlume House. There is one trail up Lincoln and Lib- 
 erty which leads out from the upper e\treiuit\- of The hdume it- 
 self. There are trails leadinj^ uj) Alt. .M< osilauke from both 
 (ilenclifie and W arren .Summit. There is a fine carriage road 
 ascending the mountain from W arren. Tlie climb up Mt. Look 
 Off is easy from Sugar Hill. 
 
 Equipmknt. People have tlie inclination to ht out in \arious 
 ways, but I will gi\e the inexperienced mountain-climber the 
 essential cares he should take. The Shoes should fit perfectly 
 and be made of durable leather with thick soles for long climbs. 
 Hob-nails in the soles helj) out in many cases. Canvas, rubber- 
 soled shoes are desirable for short climbs only. Make your 
 L'lothimi as light as possible, but have sweaters and o\erclothes 
 enough to a\oid suffering when vou encounter the cold and win<l 
 at the end of your climb. Other essentials are the Hazcrsack, 
 with plenty of food, a Thermos bottle, a Drinkhu/ Citp, a field 
 Glass, a Rubber Overcoat, a Compass, and an .11 penstock. 
 Novices should not attempt the hard climbs until they ha\e be- 
 come accustomed to the task of traxelling up hill for hours. Do 
 not go alone (wer uncertain mountain-paths, down into- ravines, 
 or to \'isit out-of-the-way mountains without being conducted 
 by one who is familiar with the \icinity. Black flies and mos- 
 quitoes are apt to be troublesome in .May. June, and Jul}-, es- 
 pecially in sw-ampy places, w-here\er it is warm and muggy, and 
 at the time of day just before sunset. 
 
 Hunting and Fishing. Since the automobiles ha\e fre- 
 cjuented the mountains so much, the bears and deer ha\e re- 
 treated way back upon the highest ranges. During the season 
 there are many deer shot in the Mountains. Occasionally some- 
 one gets close enough to a bear to kill it. Hunters find sport in 
 shooting i)artridges, rabbits and foxes. During tlie fish.ing 
 season the streams have to give up the most of their s;:eckle 1 
 trout. The streams, such as Gale and the Ammonoosuc ri\ers. 
 are stocked e\ery year, but the fishermen keep the nearby water.^ 
 ashed to death. In some of the lakes there are some large trout. 
 In most of the lakes (Partridge, Forest. Montgomery) there are 
 only perch, black bass, pickerel and horned-pout. \n order to get 
 
 24 
 
a fair lot of trout it is nect'ssar\- to lra\(,l tiack into the \vood> to 
 streams or ponds where few fishermen care to j^o. There are 
 boat and launch accommodations on Echo, Partridge, Forest, and 
 Montgomery Lakes. When you visit the I'rohle he sure and get 
 a ride in the motor launch on Echo Lake. \'ou will enjoy the 
 echo there, although it is different from the eclio upon Mt 
 Agassi/.. 
 
 Littleton is the "I'.usiness Huh of th.e W hite Mouiitains.'" 
 It is Si 7 feet abo\e sea level, and has a population of 3,0'x). li 
 is a town of enterprise, modern impro\ ements. and beautiful lo 
 cation. Littleton has eight churches, a pul>lic library, a modern 
 hospital, good schools, excellent water supply, sewerage, and 
 electric light service. The Saranac Ciloves, Pike Whetstones and 
 Sears & Roebuck Slioes are made in Littleton. White Moun- 
 tain guests will take ])leasure in doing their shopping in Littleton.

 'And farther down, from ( iuernsey's lone abode, 
 By a rude footpath chmlj the mountain side, 
 Leaving beh)\v th.e traveler's winding road, 
 To where the cleft hill yawns abrupt and wide, 
 As though some earthquake did its mass divide. 
 In olden time ; there view the rocky Flume, 
 Tremendous cliasm ! rising side by side. 
 The rocks wall a long, high room. 
 Echoing the wild stream's roar, and dark with vapory gloom. 
 
 ^WW^ HE FLUME is 3-4 of a mile from the Flume 
 "' — r*S House. It is a deep and narrow canyon near the 
 l)ase of Mt. Flume. It is believed that the stream 
 now passing through it has worn this tissure down 
 to its present appearance. About 700 feet Ions;. 
 from 10 to 20 feet wade, between parallel cliffs 
 fully 60 feet high. A huge boulder was held for 
 centuries between the walls in the upper part of the 
 Mume. A tremendous avalanche caused by hea\\- 
 rains on the peaks above caused the rock to be 
 swept awav in June, 1883. There are several attractive water- 
 falls in tlie Flume. The board walk leads up to the head of the 
 Flume. The water is clear and pure. The morning is the best 
 time to visit this spot. The Flume was discovered by Mrs. Jes- 
 sie Guernsey while fishing along the brook. No less than tit teen 
 thousand summer guests visit the Flume exery season.

 Carved by the hand of Nature (No human hands will ever be 
 able to repair it if it disintegrates). The most remarkable phe- 
 nomenon of its kind in the world, and the cardinal wonder of 
 New England. Worshipped by Indians in ancient times. Dis 
 covered in 1805 by Francis Whitcomlj and Luke lirooks, who 
 were working on the Notch Road, and saw it while washing their 
 hands in Profile Lake. The theme of Hawthorne's Great Stone 
 Face, and a later book called Christus Judex. The Profile i.s 
 formed by three disconnected ledges of granite, their aggregate 
 
 28 
 
lieight being about 45 feet. I-'aces tlie southeast. 1200 fed 
 above Profile Lake. Seen most distinctly through the opening in 
 the trees 1-4 mile below the Profile House at the edge of Profile 
 I^ake. Not discernil)le to climbers who try to get to it. Seen 
 only in the distance of about 200 feet along this particular side of 
 Profile Lake. It is about 3,800 feet above sea level. Very little 
 probability of it disintegrating. Best time to see it is late in the 
 afternoon. The ends of the features of The Old Man can be 
 seen through a telescope from both Mt. Agassiz and Mann's Hill.

 The Willey Slide. A fearful storm raged in Crawford 
 Notch the night of August 28. 1826. The old Willey House was 
 then occupied by James Willey, Jr., and his family. When the 
 family heard the slide crashing down the mountain back of the 
 house they all ran out in hopes of saving themselves. A huge 
 rock thirty feet high, directly back of the house, parted the slide 
 and saved the building. The seven members of the family were 
 lost. 
 
 The Stanley Slide. Occurred July 10, 1885. when an 
 avalanche of earth, rocks and trees descended the Owl's Head 
 peak of Cherry Mountain, making a two-mile track of devasta- 
 tion, wrecking Oscar Stanley's house at tlie base, killing se\eral 
 cattle, and mortally wounding one of the farm hands. The scai' 
 on the side of Owl's Head is plainly .seen from Jefferson. 
 
 There have been a score or more of small slides occurring in 
 the last ten years., A small one just above the Nubble on the 
 northern slope of the North Twin Mountain is visible from Mt. 
 Agassiz.
