  • Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains
    Passing Through: The Allure of the White Mountains The White Mountains presented nineteenth- century travelers with an American landscape: tamed and welcoming areas surrounded by raw and often terrifying wilderness. Drawn by the natural beauty of the area as well as geologic, botanical, and cultural curiosities, the wealthy began touring the area, seeking the sublime and inspiring. By the 1830s, many small-town tav- erns and rural farmers began lodging the new travelers as a way to make ends meet. Gradually, profit-minded entrepreneurs opened larger hotels with better facilities. The White Moun- tains became a mecca for the elite. The less well-to-do were able to join the elite after midcentury, thanks to the arrival of the railroad and an increase in the number of more affordable accommodations. The White Moun- tains, close to large East Coast populations, were alluringly beautiful. After the Civil War, a cascade of tourists from the lower-middle class to the upper class began choosing the moun- tains as their destination. A new style of travel developed as the middle-class tourists sought amusement and recreation in a packaged form. This group of travelers was used to working and commuting by the clock. Travel became more time-oriented, space-specific, and democratic. The speed of train travel, the increased numbers of guests, and a widening variety of accommodations opened the White Moun- tains to larger groups of people. As the nation turned its collective eyes west or focused on Passing Through: the benefits of industrialization, the White Mountains provided a nearby and increasingly accessible escape from the multiplying pressures The Allure of the White Mountains of modern life, but with urban comforts and amenities.

  • The White-Mountain Village of Bethlehem As a Resort for Health
    AS A THE White-Mountain Village OF BETHLEHEM AS A Resort for Health and Pleasure. BOSTON: PRINTED BY RAND, AVERY, & CO. 1880. INTRODUCTORY. In preparing the following pages the editor has en- deavored to present in a convenient form such information as experience has shown to be of use to the tourist and health-seeker. Eschewing all high-flown language, he has confined himself to a plain description of the town and its surround- ings. Such a work is necessarily more or less of a compi- lation, and the editor frankly acknowledges his indebted- ness to Osgood’s “ White Mountains” and to Mrs. E. K. Churchill’s pleasant little work on Bethlehem. To “ The White-Mountain Echo,” and its accomplished editor, Mr. Markenfield Addey, he also is under obligations for almost the whole of the chapter on railroads, steamer, and other methods of approach to Bethlehem. The chapter on climate is a reprint of Dr. W. II. Gedding’s article which appeared last summer in “ The Boston Med- ical and Surgical Journal,” with corrections and addi- tions, the more extended experience of the writer having enabled him to add much that is new and interesting. Although originally written for a medical journal, it is sufficiently free from technical expressions to be perfectly intelligible to the general reader. I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BETHLEHEM, ITS HOTELS, BOARDING-HOUSES, ETC. Located in the midst of a section of country abound- ing in natural beauties, the little village of Bethlehem presents a combination of attractions rarely met with at our summer-resorts. There

  • Deglaciation of the Upper Androscoggin River Valley and Northeastern White Mountains, Maine and New Hampshire
    Maine Geological Survey Studies in Maine Geology: Volume 6 1989 Deglaciation of the Upper Androscoggin River Valley and Northeastern White Mountains, Maine and New Hampshire Woodrow B. Thompson Maine Geological Survey State House Station 22 Augusta, Maine 04333 Brian K. Fowler Dunn Geoscience Corporation P.O. Box 7078, Village West Laconia, New Hampshire 03246 ABSTRACT The mode of deglaciation of the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire and adjacent Maine has been a controversial topic since the late 1800's. Recent workers have generally favored regional stagnation and down wastage as the principal means by which the late Wisconsinan ice sheet disappeared from this area. However, the results of the present investigation show that active ice persisted in the upper Androscoggin River valley during late-glacial time. An ice stream flowed eastward along the narrow part of the Androscoggin Valley between the Carter and Mahoosuc Ranges, and deposited a cluster of end-moraine ridges in the vicinity of the Maine-New Hampshire border. We have named these deposits the" Androscoggin Moraine." This moraine system includes several ridges originally described by G. H. Stone in 1880, as well as other moraine segments discovered during our field work. The ridges are bouldery, sharp-crested, and up to 30 m high. They are composed of glacial diamictons, including flowtills, with interbedded silt, sand, and gravel. Stone counts show that most of the rock debris comprising the Androscoggin Moraine was derived locally, although differences in provenance may exist between moraine segments on opposite sides of the valley. Meltwater channels and deposits of ice-contact stratified drift indicate that the margin of the last ice sheet receded northwestward.

  • The Story of the Randolph Community Forest: Building on Local Stewardship
    CHAPTER 2 The story of the Randolph Community Forest: Building on local stewardship SECURING ACCESS THROUGH COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP BY DAVID L. WILLCOX CHAPTER 2 The Randolph story describes the process that led one community to acquire the rights to own and manage the major portion of the town’s productive forest land base and secure access for recreational use and forest management activities. Important elements of the story include: 1) the cooperation and coordination of partners from both the private and public sector; 2) the importance of government programs and legislative instruments such as the Forest Legacy Program and state statutes that enable the establishment of a town forest; 3) the critical role of local management tools such as the Randolph Master Plan; and 4) the importance of civic capacity and leaders in achieving community goals.
