  • 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

SWEETSER. w K J^o ILUJU PORTLAND CHISHOLM BROTHERS. 1879. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1S79, By HUGH J. CHISHOLM, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington. Franklin Press: Electrotyped and Printed ly Rand, ATcry, &" CV., Boiton. PREFACE. fHE object of this volume is to afford to visitors among the White Mountains a souvenir of their grand scenery, as well as to enable those who have not yet seen them to obtain an idea of their exceeding majesty and beauty. In the snug houses on the slopes of Beacon Hill and Murray Hill, when the blasts of win- ter are sweeping the darkened streets, and the family gathers 'around the evening fireside, these views may serve to bring back the memories of past days of summer gladness, and renew a thousand fading impressions of beauty and delight. In one respect at least, and that an important one, the pictures herein contained are superior to any other collection of illustrations of the White Mountains. They are in no way idealized or exaggerated, as is customary in such works, but present faithful transcripts of the actual scenes as painted by the sun. They were printed by the heliotype process from photographs taken from the objects themselves, and hence are as nearly accurate as it is possible to have them. The impressions were made with printers' ink, and are as per- manent as the letter-press ; so that the fidelity of a photograph is secured, with- out its perishability.
