A native of New Hampshire, most credit him with establish- ing the Mount Washington Valley as a destination for visu- al artists from all over America in the nineteenth century. He believed that our country should have its own unique brand of American art. Champney had many artist Jackson Falls mentors and friends that helped throughout his career. He believed in doing the same for others. If you went to Champney’s studio, you would meet a number of well-known White Mountain artists. Benjamin Champney was born Nov. 17, 1817 in New Ipswich. After his father died, he was sent to Lebanon, where he attended school twelve weeks a year and worked at a cotton mill owned by an uncle. From an early age, he enjoyed drawing and sketching.

  • 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.
