    Object Engraving, by N. and S.S. Jocelyn, 1828 Courtesy of New Hampshire State Library There are several conflicting accounts about the discovery of the Old Man of the Mountain, the earliest known dating from 1844. However, most of the accounts agree that the granite profile was first seen—other than presumably by Native Americans—around 1805 and that it was first noticed by members of a surveying party working and camping in Franconia Notch near Ferrin’s Pond (later renamed Profile Lake) and that just one or two members of the party happened to be in just the right spot, looking in just the right direction to see the remarkable face. In 1828, this engraving based on a sketch by “a gentleman of Boston” is the first known image of the natural profile. It was published in the American Journal of Science and Arts, making the natural wonder more widely known. Object Old Man of the Mountain, by Edward New Hampshire Historical Society Hill, 1879 1925.007.01 The White Mountains tourism boom of the nineteenth century came along with a demand from visitors for images that captured the places they had seen. During the 19th century, more than 400 artists painted White Mountain landscape scenes. Among them was Edward Hill (1843– 1923), who immigrated to New Hampshire from England as a child, bought land in Lancaster, NH, in the 1870s and established a reputation as a landscape painter. For 15 years he was the artist-in-residence at the famed Profile House, and it was during that time that he painted the Old Man of the Mountain.

Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

  • The Old Man of the Mountain

    The Old Man of the Mountain

    The Old Man Of The Mountain High above the Franconia Notch gateway to northern New Hampshire there is an old man. He has been described as a relentless tyrant, a fantastic freak, and a learned philosopher, feeble and weak about the mouth and of rarest beauty, stern and solemn, one of the most remarkable wonders of the mountain world. Daniel Webster once said, ..."Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoe makers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the Mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men." Thus it happens that New Hampshire has her Profile, "The Old Man of the Mountain," sublimely outlined against the western sky; a sign unique, distinctive, and inspirational as to the kind of men the sons of the Granite State should be. ** The Old Man of the Mountain has several names including "The Profile", "The Great Stone Face", "The Old Man," and "The Old Man of the Mountains". The Profile is composed of Conway red granite and is an illusion formed by five ledges, that when lined up correctly give the appearance of an old man with an easterly gaze, clearly distinct and visible from only a very small space near Profile Lake. When viewed from other locations in Franconia Notch, the same five ledges have a very rough and ragged appearance, and there is no suggestion of The Profile.* Geological opinion is that The Profile on Profile Mountain is supposed to have been brought forth partly as the result of the melting and slipping away action of the ice sheet that covered the Franconia Mountains at the end of the glacial period, and partly by the action of the frost and ice in crevices, forcing off, and moving about certain rocks and ledges into profile forming positions.

    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.

    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] I KEEP IT TO MYSELF – THE BEST OF WILKO JOHNSON VÖ: 10. März 2017 auf Chess Der legendäre Gitarrist und Songwriter Wilko Johnson setzt seine Zusammenarbeit mit Chess, dem Label, das viele der Songs, die ihn ursprünglich während seiner Jugend inspiriert haben, veröffentlichte, fort. Für I Keep It To Myself - The Best Of Wilko Johnson wurden 25 zwischen 2008 und 2012 entstandene Tracks zusammengestellt. Die Band besteht hauptsächlich aus Norman Watt- Roy von den Blockheads (Bass) und Dylan Howe (Drums) – dergleichen Rhythmusgruppe, die auch auf Wilkos Erfolgsalbum Going Back Home mit Roger Daltrey mitgewirkt hatte. Mit neuen Interpretationen der von ihm selbst geschriebenen Dr Feelgood Tracks ‘She Does It Right’, ‘Twenty Yards Behind’, ‘Sneaking Suspicion’ und ‘Roxette’, sowie weiteren lebhaften Songs wie ‘Turned 21’, ‘Some Kind Of Hero’, ‘Out In The Traffic’, Barbed Wire Blues’, ‘Down By The Waterside’ und ‘I Really Love Your Rock 'n' Roll’ ist das Album I Keep It To Myself - The Best Of Wilko Johnson eine wunderbare Sammlung mit energiegeladenem Rhythm & Blues. Und das Rückgrat des Albums bildet Wilko Johnsons charakteristischer Fendersound. Wilko ist ein einzigartiger Künstler. Wenn Sie das Glück haben sollten, ihn live zu sehen, achten Sie mal darauf, wie seine Hände (nicht das Plektrum) diese harten Riffs und brutalen Gitarrensolos herausprügeln. Dabei ist er ständig in Bewegung – auf das Publikum zu, vom Publikum weg – rastlos, genau wie seine Musik. Die meisten Songs sind kürzer als drei Minuten. Und wenn sie vorbei sind, dann weiß man, dass man bei einem Konzert war.

Your story matters to us. Citation Weiner, R.G. (2008). [Review of the book Beyond and Before: The Formative Years of Yes by Peter Banks].

Perhaps, as Prial suggests, Hammond’s relationship to the Vanderbilts did him more good in his early years in music than his social skills. There are questions unanswered and undeveloped in this biography related to Hammond the man, such as his falling out with Aretha Franklin or his quick parting with Dylan. Each chapter of this book comes (another assault on your pocketbook) with a wonderful ‘‘discography’’ that should slow down the pace of reading but will contribute to a great start in building a library of American music of the 20th century. It is quite something how much music Hammond had a role in, and this portion of the book is an important reminder of the times and genres Hammond touched. As with all biographies there are problems and limitations. For those of us raised in the second half of the century, The Producer fails to deliver the same magic surrounding the discovery and signing of ‘‘our’’ heroes as it does around the early stars.
