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.

Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest
How Campers Can Help Protect the National Forest First of all, obtain your camp-fire permit from the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H., or from any Forest officer; then observe the following rules: Build your camp fire near water, never against a log or tree. Be sure it is out before you leave it. When you throw away lighted matches, cigars, cigarettes, or pipe heels, STEP ON THRU. Dead and down trees, alder, pin cherry, striped and moose maple, may be used for fuel. LEAVE YOUR CAMP GROUNDS NEAT. THINK OF THE NEXT FELLOW. Bury your tin cans and burn garbage and papers—don't throw them in the streams. If you discover a fire and can not put it out, notify the nearest Forest officer or telephone the Forest Supervisor, Gorham, N. H. District rangers are located at Gorham, Woodstock, Bart- lett, and Pierce Bridge, N. H. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1920 United States Department of Agriculture Contribution from the Forest Service Department Circular 100 William B. Greeley, Forester Vacation on the White Mountain National Forest HE cloud-piercing peaks, the lakes and streams and waterfalls, the wind swept ridges, and the deep woods trails make the White Mountain National Forest a land of heart's desire to the lover of the outdoors. In summer the hiker and mountain climber, the camper and fisherman may take his pick of trail and cliff, camp ground and trout stream; and the camera hunter may shoot scenes of beauty of every variety from peaceful valley to granite peak. Even the motorist will find convenient camping places and vantage points with a lookout over wild forest and mountain scenery.
