  • 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.

Moore, Ph.D. Associate Professor of American Material Culture DEDICATION This dissertation is more than just the culmination of a Ph.D. program; it is the product of twenty years of professional experience in outdoor education as well as a dozen years of Scouting before that. As a result, there are decades full of contributors to the ideas presented here. As the Scoutmaster in Troop 38 in Adams, Massachusetts, Don “Bones” Girard has taught the importance of community, responsibility, and a love of adventure to generations of Scouts at the foot of Mount Greylock, including me. John Regentin of the Gettysburg Recreational Adventure Board at Gettysburg College introduced me to the professional world of experiential education when I was a student, teaching me not only the technical skills of backcountry travel, but also the importance of professionalism in the outdoors and the value of a true friend. Dr. Jasper S. Hunt, my graduate school advisor at Minnesota State University-Mankato, showed me the intellectual depth of experiential education.

  • 15901 NHCA-Arts Fall02.P65
    This issue of NH Arts focuses on individual artists and creativity. According to the U.S. Census, New Hamp- shire is home to about 12,000 artists, which includes arts educators, graphic designers, and architects, as well as creative writers, visual artists, musicians, dancers, actors, and others who derive most of their income from art-making. As you will see on page 9, we have re-instituted an Individual Artist Advisory Committee to help us identify services and programs that best work for all types of artists living in New Hampshire. The committee is reviewing everything from the way we administer artist grants and rosters to the pros and cons of re-instituting an Artist Retreat. We will also be asking the committee to identify the issues, such as housing and health insurance, which most concern New Hampshire artists. Artist Services Coordinator Julie Mento will be taking the committee’s recommendations to the State Arts Councilors during this year for implementation in fiscal years 2004-2005. So if you are an artist and you have some ideas of your own that you would like us to consider, please feel free to contact Julie with your suggestions, [email protected]. Only about 3,000 of New Hampshire’s 12,000 artists have found their way on to the Arts Council’s mailing or e-news lists. Even fewer apply for grants, rosters, or percent for art projects. Although we do not have a great deal of money to give out, we do have a great deal of information on artist resources and can provide ways for New Hampshire artists to connect with each other, strengthening the state’s arts community.
