CHAPTER
The original main line of the Boston &. Lowell Railroad was only
twenty-six miles in length; and for many years it remained "little
among the thousands" of great railway lines. Now that it has
widely reached out, and, by purchase, lease and business contract,
secured the management or traffic of many connecting and tributary
roads, so that it has become the largest railroad system in New
England, it is interesting to recall the fact that, as it was the first
railroad chartered in New England for passenger transportation, so it
was the first to be completed and operated its entire length, and it was
the third or fourth in the United States.
In 1821, what is now the city of Lowell was a straggling village of
twelve houses ; some time previous a canal had been dug around Paw-
tut a^t Falls, on the Merrimaclc River, for purposes of navigation. In
1822, an organization was effected under the name of " The Loclcs and
Canal Co." on the Merrimack River, to utilize the water power for
manufacturing purposes, and the first wlieel was set in motion Sept. 1,
1823. The facilities for the transportation of raw material to, and
manufactured goods from, the place, were the river from Newburyport
via Haverliill, tlie Middlesex Canal from Boston, and the highways ; the
latter being sandy in summer, muddy in spring and early winter, and
often blocl^aded with snow in mid-winter. In 1829, Messrs. William
Appleton, Patriclc T. Jaclvson and Kirk: Boott, of Boston, with other
far-seeing men of the owners and managers of water power and mills
located at Lowell, were convinced that there must be greater trans-
portation facilities for the proper development of their investments ;
for already on an average as many as twenty-four tons of freight passed
daily between tlie manufacturing village and the then young city of
Boptrtn, .and "six st".ge-e.rt.arhes, drav/n by four and six horses each,"
conveyed *' from 100 to 120 passengers daily from one town to the
8
other." Tliis is a small amount of freight and number of passengers
to us, but for that day indicates that great business activity had begun
in eastern Massachusetts. It was evident that something must be done
speedily, and certain enterprises in England and other parts of this
country attracted their attention and directed their efforts.
In 1827, a road three miles in length, v/ith rails of wood covered w;th
iron, was opened from the Quincy granite quarries to the Neponset
River, and successfully used with horse-propelling power. This same
year another similar road, nine miles in length, was opened among the
coal mines of the Lehigh region in Pennsylvania; and, in 1829, the Del-
aware & Hudson Canal Co. constructed a third railroad. All of these
were operated either by gravity, animals, or stationary steam engines,
and were for freight transportation only. The latter company, hearing
of the success of Stephenson In moving loads of coal in England on a
railroad, sent an agent there, who purchased a locomotive steam engine
named the " Stourbridge Lion," which was tested on their road at
Honesdale, Penn., August 8, 1829, "which was, without a shadow of
doubt, the day the first locomotive turned a driving wheel upon a road
on the American continent."
The Massachusetts Legislature of 1829 had ordered a survey, at State
t-xpense, to ascertain the practicability of a railroad between Boston
and Lowell. It was made by Mr. James Haywood, and his report
transmitted to the Legislature by Gov. Levi Lincoln on Jan. 1, 1830.
The previous October, Stephenson had made his successful experiment
with a locomotive steam engine on tlie Manchester & Liverpool Rail-
road. All these movements had been closely watched by those inter-
ested in the Lowell ' ' Locks and Canal Co. ," and on Jan. 18, 1830, Patrick
T. Jackson, Esq., requested Kirk Boott, Esq., agent, to call a meeting
of the directors, by whom he hoped a meeting of the "proprietors"
would be called, and he states that his " object is to draw the attention
of the proprietors of that stock to the project for building a railroad
from this place (Boston) to Lowell." The directors' meeting was the
22d and the proprietors the 27tli of January, at the house of Mr. Jackson,
No. 22 Winter Street, Boston, when the first step was taken for the or-
ganization of a company to build the Boston & Lowell Railroad. The
project was strenuously opposed by the owners of the Middlesex Canal,
but the Legislature of that year granted a charter, giving the company
the exclusive right to railroad transportation between Boston and
Lowell for tliirty j'ears, which rights the courts afterwards sustained
them in asserting. The road was so well located and built that there
no grade over ten feet to the mile, except at the overhead crossing of the
Fitchburg Railroad in Somerville, and all the curves are wide and easy.
A copy of "The Merchants' and Traders' Guide and Strangers'
Memorandum Book for the year of our Lord 1836," says : " This road
was opened for public accommodation on the 24th of June, 1835, [the
Providence road was opened June 11th, and th3 Worcester, July 4th, of
the same year,] and its cost thus far exceeds $1,000,000. The road is
K lui
9
\{
*>uilt with a single Irack, and is constructed of the iron edge-rail, sup-
j>orted by cast-iron chairs on stone blocks and stone sleepers, resting
on stone foundation walls. A second track is commenced and laid
about five miles." This second track was not so expensively laid with
stone foundation walls, as it was found that the frost would not heave
the sleepers so much as was feared. All of the stone blocks and stone
sleepers have now been removed, being replaced with wood ; but many
of them may yet be seen lying by the railroad side between Boston and
Lowell. The rails were not of the now universal "T " pattern, but what
were calle<l " flsh bellies," because they were wider perpendicularly in
the middle than the ends where they rested on the chairs ; they were
of iron and wei^jhed only 35 pounds to the yard and broke easily. The
first locomotive used on the road was built in England and amed
the " Stephenson," and, among other peculiarities, had the plates on
the side of her flre-box welded instead of riveted. The first passenger
car was an open one ; covers were soon provided, above which was a
chaise-top for the conductor, who was the lookout, and carried a sil-
ver whistle to blow as a signal, which however could hardly be heard
when the train was in motion, on account of the force of the wind.
The engines had no cabs, and the engineer and fireman were exposed to
all the extremes of weather.
" The Merchants' and Traders' Guide," before quoted, aiso contains
the following interesting notice in connection with the above : "Before
the starting of the cars, stages leave Nos. 9 and 11 Elm Street, and City
Tavern, Brattle Street, and call at almost any p"rt '•* the ^fty for passen-
^ngements have

was the forerunner of the modern express comp -
The Boston terminus was then at the foot of Lowe, ^ _ it, where the
freight-house now is. In 1857, the present site of the station on Cause-
way Street was occupied, and the present costly and commodious depot,
700 feet long, having a frontage of 205 feet, with a train-house having
an arch with a clear span of 120 xeet without any central support, was
occupied in 1874. The spot upon which it stands is made land, and the
Blackstone Canal which formerly crossed Boston along the line of the
street of that name, intersected Causeway Street near this point, that
street being originally what its name implies, a causeway with water
on either side. The writer's father has told him he had often seen
vessel's jib-booms extending over that treet, the water allowing them
to be moored by its side.
A SIGNIFICANT FACT.
The Boston and Lowell is now a double-track road as far as Nashua,
(and the Concord Kailroad, constituting apai-t of the through line, is
double-tracked to Concord,) and, including all its branches and leased
lines, is in the best possible condition as regards the road-bed, bridges,
a
10
crossings, switches and signals, and is thoroughly equipped in all
respects, with elegant coaches having every appliance for comfort and
safety ; its locomotives are of the best and mas'; powerful pattern ; Its
engineors, conductors and train-men intelligent and efficient men, who
have grown up with the road ; while the management is both progres-
sive and careful ; all of which accounts for the significant fact that
on "the old Boston and Lowell road" no passenger has evehbeen
FATALLY INJURED WHILE INSIDE ITS CARS.
i
HOSTON STATION.
It is the aim of the management to have this continue true in the
future, while they shall also continue to supply close connections and
quick transit to all points to be reached by its system of roads.

CHAPTER IT.
" Otir <4ea-Iike lakes and mountains
Piled to the clouds,— our rivers overhung
By forests wliich have known no other change
For ages, than the bidding and the fall
Of leaves,— our valleys lovlier than thosfl
Which th« old poets sang of."
—Whittie,
Every traveller by this line will be
impressed, as be enters the rotunda of
the Causeway Street station in Boston,
with a sen< of its roominess and the
completeness of all its appointments,
including an excellent caf 6 ; and, as he
proceeds to the loug and high clear-arched train-house, with its wide,
well-lighted platforms, lie will find his train composed of the most
convenient and comfortable coaches ; and soon, with ticket purchased,
baggage properly checked, bundles bestowed, and a copy of " Summer
Saunteriags by the B. &L." in hand, he is ready to start for the country,
mountains or lakes.
As the long train rolls out of the station, the Charles River, asso-
ciated V, ith thouglts of Longfellow, Cambridge University and college
regattas, is soon crossed. It was at some other point than this that
the above-named poet sang of it,
"River! that in silence windest
Through the mead ws bright and free.
* * * * 1 love thee,
Nor because thy waves of blue
Prom celestial seas above thee
Take their own celestial hue."
As the dravbridge is crossed, on either side of which an abundance
ox shippiug is waiting its turn to go up or down the river, the look of
I

the current does not remind one of tlie poetic images of the bard ; but
does remind us of the fact that the harbor and the Charles nearly sur-
round what Ralph Waldo Emerson fondly calls —
"Thou dailing town of ours,"
and leads him to say in other expressive and suggestive words —
" The rocky nook with hill-tops three
Looked eastward from the farms,
And twice each day the flowing sea
Took Boston in its arms."
In another moment the train is passing into East Cambridge, where is
located one of the Middlesex County court houses and jails. As the
train rounds a slight curve, looking to the left backwards, a pleasant
view is caught of the much be-praised Boston, of which her versifying
son Holmes has written,
"And, Bun like, from lier Beacon-height
The dome-crowned city spreads her rays ;
*****
Peace, Freedom, Wealth ! no fairer view,
Though with the wild-bird's restless wings
We sailed beneath the noon-tide's blue
Or chasedthc moonlight's endless rings."
Sweeping through the region of sugar refineries and manufactories and
up the grade to cross over the Eitchburg Kailroad, a look to the right
gives a clear view of Charlestowu and Bunker Hill with its historic
monument, and close at hand the McLean Insane Asj^lum. Now the
line passes through the suburban villages comprising the city of Som-
erville. Between Winter Hill and College Hill is Powder House Hill,
on the left, where may be seen a
round wind -mill tower of brick
which has a history. Originally a
mill for grinding corn, tradition
says it was the trysting place of
two lovers, who were pursued by
the maiden's irate father. She
took refuge in the loft, standing
on the trap-door, he on the mill-
stones, when she pulled the rope
which set the fans in motion and
started the machinery, by which
the father was so maimed tliat it
caused his death. Superstition led
to its abandonment as a mill and subsequently It was used for a powder
house, such as every town was required to possess for the storage of
ammunition against time of public danger. It wa,s in such use in 1775,
and upon rumor that the British intended its capture, a part was re-
moved to Concord, and th'^ enemy secured the remainder; so that In
the Concord and Lexington fight, April ]!>, 1775, 1: >th parties used
powder from the stock originally stored in this powder house. Just

beyond on the left is College Hill, crowned by the imposing buildings
of Tufts Coll*^ge, which is under the especial patronage of the Univer-
salists. When the numerous trees are grown it will be one of the
flnest college sites in the country.
At Somerv'ille, about three miles from Boston, the Middlesex Central
Branch diverges to the left, leading through many attractive villages,
where elegant and cosy residences abound, to Arlington (formerly
West Cambridge), Lexington and Concord; thence past the Massachu-
setts Reformatory Prison, through Acton, AVestford and Dunstable,
making connection again with the main line at Nashua. There are few
railroads in the country of equal length which pass so many grandly
historic localities. From puritan and patriotic Boston; past Bunker
Hill, in plain view ; Cambridge, Washington's headquarters ; Charles-
town Neck, between Charlestown and Somerville, over which the
patriots retreated after the Bunker Hill fight ; Powder House Hill, in
Medford ; Lexington, where
" Slowly the mlBt o'er the meadow was creeping,
Bright on the dewy huds glistened the sun,
When from his couch, while his children were sleepiag,
Rose the hold rebel and shouldered his gun,"
and went forth to hear the first volley fired, and see the first blood shed.
In the Revolutionary war; and Concord, where, according to Emerson,
" By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Hero once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard 'round the world;'
and as Lowell says —
Here English Law and English thought
'Gainot the self-will of England fought;
And here were men (co-equal with their fate).
Who did great things, unconscious they were great.
They dreamed not what a die was cast
With that first answering shot."
Here the British were succes&fully witlistood, and from here turned
back for that harassing, and to many of them fatal, march over the
road they had so confidently traversed in the morning.
At West Medford a unique station building may be seen on the left.
Its thick walls are built of stones contributed by residents and others,
and which have come from all the (luarters of the world : from Europe,
Asia, Africa, South America, the islands of the sea, and tlig sea-bottom,
there being corals from the Pacific, and a good-sized piece of ragged
boulder-stone from the Devil's Britlge, Gay Head, on which occurred
the sad wreck of the "City of Columbus." There are stones small and
great, rough and smooth, of all colors and values, from a rare speci-
men to a rough mosH-cuvcrcd pasture stone.
On the right are Middlesex Fells, a wooded section which it is pro-
posed to make into a great park and preserve in its natural state. On
the left. Mystic Pond is soon passed, from wh'ch Charlestown, Chelsea
and East Boston have fresh water; then Winchester, the place of
14
als
of

elegant country ho-.es and a few manufactories. At this point the
mam line divides. The old route was to the right; the new loop-line
diverges to the left, and passes directly through Woburn Centre and
Nor h Woburn village to Wilmington, where it again unites with the
old line. From Winchester to Woburn there was formerly a single
track branch two miles in length. The new line is double-tracked, and
over It pass many of the through passenger trains; thus bringing one
of the oldest, richest and most thriving towns of " Old Middlesex" on
to a main thoroughfare. Originally Woburn was called Chariestown
Village, and the first house was built in 1641, just a little west of what
IS now Winchester, on the bank of the Aberjona River, and occupied
by Edward Converse and his successors for many years. Edward
Johnson, one of the first grantees, who was a prominent citizen of
the Colony, and one of the commissioners who discovered Winnipe-
saukee, the source of the Merrimack, tells in his rare and valuable
book, called " Wonder Working Providence of Zion's Saviour in New
England," of the organization of the present First Congregational
church m 1042, the ordination of Mr. Thomas Carter as pastor, and the
incorporation of the town the same year. The act of the General Court
constituting the place a town is brief enough for a model; it is as
follows : - "Chariestown Village is called Wooburne." It is supposed
thpt the name was derived from the abbey and park of Woburn in
Bedfordshire. It originally included what arc now the towns of Win-
Chester, formerly called South Woburn, Burlington, originally called
Shawshine, and Wilmington, originally known as Goshen Villa<'e
Woburn has always been patriotic, and in "the old French War"
sent 150 of her 1500 population as soldiers. In the Revolutionary
struggle she was among the foremost. Two days before the battle
of Lexington, a company of fifty "minute men" was formed, and at
the alarm on the morning of April 19, 1775, nearly all of them
hastened to Lexington.
"Swift as their summons camo tliey left
Tlie plow mid-furrow standing still,
The half.ground corn grist in the mill,
The spado in earth, the axe in cleft."
The manufacture of leather for shoe stock is the great industry of the
place, besides which there are many other flourishing manufactories

residences, impresses the passing traveller, or the visitor to the town
Two miles beyond is North Woburn, a flourishini; village, now to feel
the impetus of the main line of railway through its pleasant region
Along hero the track is locat(>(l l)y tlie side of wlsat remains of tlic
old Middlesex Canal, which at this poait almost retains its original
appearance. A few miles farther on, in Wilmington, its course "may
also be traced, both its tow-path and its channel; and in some parts
of the latter may be seen "springs of water, * * * grass with
16
reeds and rushes." The railroad ruined its business, which had only
paid for a very few years; and in 1859 the Supreme Court issued a
decree extinguishing its charter.
Woburn was the birth-place of the distinguished scientist of the
last century, Benjamin Thompson, Count llumford, also the home of
Mosos Cleveland, ancestor of President Cleveland, and of Charles
Goodyear when he conceived the idea of vulcanizing India rubber.
On the old line to the right, a short distance from Winchester, is
Montvalc, where diverges a branch road to Stoneham, which is located
on an elevated ridge, and is a busy shoe-manufacturing place. At
Wilmington a branch extends to Wilmington Jurction, over what
was tlie old road-bed of the Boston & Maine railroad when it was
originally a branch of the Boston & Lowell, an I from thence to
the great manufacturing city of Lawrence, and frequent and fast
trains land passengers at the station in the heart of tlie city, making
this the most desirable route between Boston and Lawrence.
From Wilmington, the main line continues through country villages
in Billerica, and then approaches Lowell, the first and the great cotton
city of America. Here the Framingham and Lowell branch of the Old
Colony Kailroad system comes in on the left from the southeast, and the
Lowell and Lawrence and the Salem and Lowell branches of the B. &L.
on the right, — the foimer of these connecting the two great manufac-
turing cities on the Merrimack, and the latter giving direct communi-
cation with the historic city of Salem, with its surrounding seaside
resorts, and museums containing relics of colonial and witchcraft days,
—passing also through Peabody, formerly a part of the great town of
Dfinvers, which was the birthplace of the great London banker, George
Peabody, and of Nathaniel Bowditch, the distinguished writer on
mathematics and navagation. Mr. Peubody's tomb is in Harmony
Grove, which may be seen from the cars between Peabody and Salem.
Immense quantities of coal are transported over this branch from Salem
to Lawrence, Lowell, and other points still farther inland.
The main line as it enters Lowell passes through a rock-cut which
was thought a marvel of engineering skill when the road was built.
Through trains stop at Ivliddlesex Street depot ; but cars with Lowell
passengers are drawn still farther into the city over and by the side
of the canals, to the Merrimack Street station in the very heart of the
city.
The through trains continue north along the banks of the noble Mer-
rimack River, where the ever-changing views opened up by its winding
course are a continual source of pleasure. John Greenleaf Whittler's
home is on the banks of tlie Merrimack ; and of it he has never tired of
sinffing in maDv sonss of various keys. Tn o.v.o '■>1r,cc='

continues along the banks of the charming and industrious stream

hills are frequently to be seen in the distance.
At Nashua we find a busy city on both sides of the river and a great
railroad centre, where connections may be made for Worcester and the

The several cities named, and especially Concord,— a very handsome
and attractive place, and also the capital of the Granite State,— would
repay a visit. At Concord are two well-kept hotels, the Eagle and the
Phoenix ; and, in addition to the points of attraction within the city,
there are fine drives in the vicinity. The State House is a handsome
build'ng, very pleasantly situated in the centre of a littl" park; and it
contains a large number of historical portraits, battle-flags, etc. The
city is beautifully located in a region which was a great favorite with
the Indians.
" The Nashua meadows lay green and unshorn,
And the hills of Pentucket were tasselled with corn.
But the Penacook Valh.y was fairer than these,
And greener its grasses and taller its trees,
E'er the sound of an .'ix( in the forest had rung,
Or the mower hie scythe in the meadow had swung.
In their sheltered repose looking out from the wood
The bark-builded wigwams of Penacook stood,
Here glided the corn-dance, the council-fire shone.
And against the red war-post the hatchet was thrown."
And among other delightful things which Whittier has told is —
"A story of the marriage of the Chief
Of Saugus to the dusky "Weetamoo,
Daughter of Passaconaway, who dwelt
In the old time upon the Merrimack."
The Story is that Winnipurkit, otherwise called George, Sachem of
Saugus, married a daughter oi the great chief of the Penacooks,
whose principal location was where Concord now stands. There was
a great feast, and then the bride was accompanied to Winnipurkit's
home at Saugus, on the sea-coast, by a band of prominent men. After
a season she went to her father's on a visit, and was escorted by some
of her husband's chiefs ; but when she was ready to return, a fdling-
out occurred between Passaconaway, her father, and Winnipurkit, her
husband, over a matter of Indian etiquette ; neither would send an
escort with her, or for her. At last she determined to return alone,
and at the time of the spring freshet set out in a canoe on "the
troubled stream," and met her fate in the Amoskeag Falls, at what is
now Manchester.
" Sick and weary of her lonely life,
Heedless of peril the still faithful wife
Had left her mother's grave, her father's door,
To seek the wigwam of her chief once more.
Down the white rapids like a sere leaf whirled,
On the sharp rocks and piled up ices hurled.
Empty and broken, circled the canoe
In the vexed pool below — but, where was Weetamoo?"
That the chief avenue of approach to the great mountain, lake and
river resorts of New England, northern New York and the Dominion
of Canada, is over the Boston & Lowell Railroad, its leased lines and
branches, has been made apparent by the descriptions already given,and

scenic attractiveness, there are no lines of railway in tlie East or
Nortli tliat can fai. ^ be called into comparison.
The train service will be found convenient and expeditious. There
are frequent express trains between Boston and all the hill country
lake regions and White Mountain points, and also between Boston
and Canada. These connect with all the southern and western boat
and railway lines, and with trains from all interior points. The hours
of leaving and arrival are given in the time-tables published elsewhere,
and in the time-cards and folders to be found at all stations of this
road and at all the principal railroad centres in the country.
EATING HOUSES AND RESTAURANTS. — BOSTON STATION.
Travellers reaching Boston by the Sound steamers and early trains,
I'eed not go to a hotel for breakfast, as at the Boston & Lowell Station
on Causeway Street, they will And an excellent cafe, Avhere every want
in the way of substantials and delicacies can be found, and meals
served at any hour. This caf6 has long and justly enjoyed a high rep-
utation.
NASHUA JUNCTION.
In the commodious depot is a first-class refreshment room where reg-
ular meals or lunches can be obtained, and the latter will be quickly
put up for the pac ■ ing traveller.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION.
The eating house at this point, where nearly all through trains stop
for meals, has long enjoyed an enviable reputation, the cooking of the
viands being well-nigh perfect, and the serving of the most attentive
and thoughtful description. Abundant time is allowed for meals, and
the signal for departure is seasonably given.
THE WEIRS, LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE.
This charmingly located cafe, over the waters of the lake, was opened
the past season, and will be found supplied with every thing the hungry
traveller can need.
PEMIGEW ASSET HOUSE, PLYMOUTH, N. H.
This noted house spreads sumptuous tables in the large dining room
up stairs, and a long lunch counter in the restaurant opening from the
depot platform. Excellent lunches will also be here put up for the
traveller to take with him. So many thousand mountain tourists have
enjoyed the elegant hospitality of this house that it is superfluous to
utter its praise.
At Lowell, Concord, N.H., Keene, Wells River, and Wing Road, lunch
counters may also be found where wholesome food can be obtained,
although not of wide variety.

How tlie Boston and Lowell System Is Made Up.
CHAPTER III.
The Southern Division, or main line proper, extends from Boston
through Lowell and Nashua to Keene, including the Boston and Lowell,
the Nashua and Lowell, the Wilton, the Peterboro', and the Manchester
and Keene railroads. It is at Nashua that th^ southerly arm diverges
from the trunk line, extending to the rural towns of Amherst, Milford
and Wilton, and for many miles following the course of the Souhegan
River, on which, in Wilton, there are some wild gorges and tumbling
cascades. The line then passes into the mountainous region Qf Lynde-
boro', Greenfield and Hancock; affording to the passenger an ever-
changing panorama of river, pond t,nd mountain scenery. In Han-
cock, tho Peterboro' & Hillsboro' Railroad belonging to the North-
ern Division of the Boston and Lowell system is crossed at a right-
angle. From Greenfield, to and beyond Hancock, the road skirts the
northerly rim of a great basin in which are to'vns, rivers and numerous
ponds, and surrounding which are, on the east, the two peaks of
Peterboro', or Pack Monadnock and Tempie mountains; on the north,
Crotched, WiUard, Bald and Whittemore mountains, with long and
grand Monadnock on the southwest. The road winds in and out
among high hills, along narrow gorges, through deep cuts, across high
fills, over wide chasms, through Hancock, Harrisville and Marlboro'
to Keene, the western terminus of tl.is southern line, where con-
nection is made in a union depot with the Cheshire Railroad and
the Ashuelot branch .of the Connecticut River Railroad system. Along
this route from Greenfield through Hancock and Harrisville the
line skirts numerous ponds which are the delight of sportsmen;
and at Harrisville stages connect for Dublin Village and pond, other-
wise known as Monadnock Lake, one of the most attractive localities
in New England, where there are elegant summer residences, and
which is steadily growing in .a oi tus a resort; and where Manadnock
Mountain can be studied in al' i^s -varO and m-^ed majesty. It is
related that a minister of thia icglon was once preaching on faith, and
spoke of that which would remove mountains ; when pausing, and,
casting a glance through the window at the massive mountain of rocK '
he said with a twinkle in his eye—" But it would take a good deal to
remove old Monadnock !"
THE CONCORD AXD CLAREMONT.

the placid Contoocook River, and on the right and north of the line
the majestic cone of Kcarsarge is visible for
several miles. -'^ Z'- J
For many years Bradford was the western ^ji^i^f!^ I
terminus of this road. From this point stages
convey passengers to tlie famous Bradford
Springs, noted for their medicinal qualities.
I'
SUNAPEE HARBOR.
The grade at Newbury is very heavy, and the rock-cut through
the mountains opens into the elevated basin in which is the very
attractive Lake Sunapee. The sudden coming upon the wide lake, after
the long cork-screw climb up among the high hills and through the
frowning rock-cut, is an agreeable surprise. Tne road touches the
extreme south end of this very lovely sheet of water, where is located
Newbury station and the dock for the steamers which ply on the
lake, so that tourists can walk directly from the station to the steamer's
26
gang-plank. At the Landing is a good boarding-house, and near it,
and all along the southern end of the lake Avhich the railroad skirts,
are some uncommonly good cottage sites, while on a charming point
the foundation is laid for a large hotel. From here many of the
islands, coves, points and bluffs can be scon, with many a summer cot-
tage, and a glimpse can be caught of the finely-located Lakeview
House on the west shore. On tlie soutli, towering above, is Sunapee
Mountain, on tlie side of wliicli, far up and overlooking the whole
lake, is Johnson's popular house.
Newport is the shire town of Sullivan County, and an attractive and
thriving place. There are two good hotels, the larger of which is the
Newport House, and the other the Pluenix Hotel, while there are sev-
eral good boarding-houses, and in the surrounding region many farm-
houses where good summer board may be had.
From Newport to Claremont the road follows the course of the
Sugar Kiver which receives the wi^-ters of Lake Sunapee. Claremont
is a large and f.nely located to vn, with many attractions for the
stranger. The Belmont House is a good hotel, and there are boarding
houses and farm houses to which strangers will be received at reason-
able rates. The surrounding scenery is on a grand scale, Ascutney
Mountain, across the Connecticut Eiver, in Vermont, looming above in
its grandeur and overlooking the town, wiiile to the northeast Green
and Bald mountains are only a part of the grander Croydon Mountain,
a prominent feature of the landscape a little farther removed. The
whole region of Lake Sunapee, Newport and Claremont abounds with
good drives along the valleys or among the hills.
TIIK PKTKUHOKO' AND IIII.LSBORO' BHANCH.
At Contoocook, going west on the Concord & Claremont Branch,
the Peterboro' and Hillsboro' Branch diverges to the south, extend-
ing through Contoocook, West Hopkinton, Henniker, Hillsboro',
Antrim, Bennington, Hancock Junction, (where the Keene Branch is
crossed as before noticed,) to the large and charming town of Peter-
boro', which is seven miles nearer Boston by the Boston and Lowell
than by any other route. The Contoocook and its tributaries flow
through the place, and excellent hotels and farm-1 >use boarding places
on breezy hill tops, good brook and ])ond fishing, grand mountain
scenery with uncommonly pleasant drives in all directions, indicate
its attractions.
THE NOUTHKKN DIVISION.
From Concord the northwesterly arm of the Boston and Lowell is
the Northern Railroad of N. IL, which follows the valley of the Merri-
mack as far as Franklin, and then winds in and out among hills, ponds
and lakes, working up some heavy grades to the Huisunit at Canaan,
having ascended 778 feet since leaving Concord ; then following the
water-course of the Mascoma liiver, for miles skirting the fine lake
of the same name, it proceeds down a steep grade from Enfield to West

Lebanon, where the Connecticut River is crossed, and connection made
at White River Junction with the Central Vermont Railroad and the
Passumpsic Railroad for the North.
At Penacook, seven miles northwest of Concord, and formerly known
as risherville, the Contoocook River empties into the Merrimack, and
at the point of junction in mid-stream i? Dustin's island, on which
stands a granite monument to Hannah (Emerson) Dustin, who was
captured by the Indians on the 15th of March, 1G97, at Haverhill,
Mass., together with a six weeks' old infant and its nurse, Mary Niflf.
The child was killed, but the two women were brought by a weary
march to a wigwam on this island and left in charge of two men, three
women and seven Indian children, where they also found Samuel
Lannardson, a boy captured from Worcester. Mrs. Dustin planned an
escape, and on the early morning of March 31, 1G97, awoke her com-
panions, and, with the Indians' own tomahawks dispatched both the
men instantly and one woman ; the other woman and one Indian boy
only escaping. Taking the scalps as proof, they scuttled all the canoes
but one, and then embarked on the then high and turbulent Merrimack
for Haverhill, which they safely reached in a few days. She at once
became a great heroine, and, being called to Boston, the General Court
thanked her and made her a grant of £50.
Fifty years afterwa Is the white settlers of this region were as-
sailed by the savages, and some killed and others carried captive to
Canada. Now the descendants of some of those foraging Canadian
Indians descend again on the peaceful valleys, but in these days for
peaceful purposes, and are found as operatives in the numerous fac-
tories which line the noble Merrimack stream.
Boscawen was originally named Contoocook, but in 1760 given its
present name from Lord Boscawen of the English navy. In 18G0 it was
divided, and part took the name of Webster. The old town is the birth-
place of General Dix, Pitt Fesscnden and Charles G. Greene ; the home of
Ezekiel Webster ; and his great brother Daniel had a law office here.
Boscawen Plain has a wide street two miles long, on which are some fine
residences. At North Boscawen the brick buildings of the Merrimack
County poor-farm may be seen, and the burying ground witli its white
head-boards, near tlie track. From here there is a stage connection with
Salisbury, four miles distant, wliere Daniel Webster was born, under
•' A roof beneath the mountain pines."
At Webster Place, the farm and home of Daniel Webster is seen on
the right of the track. Tlie old homestead and other buildings are
now used as the New Hampshire Orphan Asvlum, and the happy faces
of many children may fre(iuently be seen as the train passes. It Avas
under the elms near by that the great statesman loved Uy linger in
summer and rest from the care^^ '•.!" puh'.i!' lifo.
' ' In vain the envious tongue upbraids ;
His name a nation's heart fhall keep
Till morning's latest sunlight fades
On the blue tablet of the deep."
2.S
In this intervale there was a fort, in the early settlement, and here, in the
French and Indian war, Colonel Goft"s regiment spent the winter, and
was drilled and then marched overland to CroAvn Point. Up over the
hill, eastward, it is only abont two miles to Webster's birthplace, then
in Salisbury, but now included in the town of Franklin.
At Franklin, a large and thriving town, the Pemigewasset and Win-
nipesaukee rivers unite to form the Merrimack, from whence some
say is its name, signi ing in the Algonquin tongue, "the meeting
of the waters." Other suggestive derivations of the name Merrimack
have been given before. These streams furnish power for numerous
large manufactories.
From here the Bristol Branch diverges, running to Bristol, a thrifty
manufacturing place thirteen miles distant, on the shores of Newfound
Lake, which is mountain-environed, full of flsh, and popular with
summer campers and farm-houses boarders.
WEBSTER LAKE.
Just beyond Franklin tlie road skirts
the banks of Webster Lake, one of the
many sheets of water to be seen on this
line, and one of the most attractive. It
has pleasant camp grounds near the rail-
road and shore.
At East Andover is Highland Lake, with clean, sandy beach; and at
Andover, Eagle Pond, with Ilagged Mountain Ix'yond on the north.
From Potter Place station stages arc taken for New London, the
lo(,-ation of the Colby Academy, a preparatory school under tlie patron-
age of the Baptist denomination. It is also the station from which
to reach the Winslow House on Mt. Kearsarge; tliis mountain supply.
Ing a name for the celebrates! war ^h\p wliieh sunk the Confederate
cruiser, "Alabama" oft' Cherbourg, France, in 1804, and the house on
the mountain was named for her brave conunander.

Canaan is a country town; the centre, some two miles north, having
a very wide and tree-shaded main street.
Enfield has several families of Shakers ; and from near the station a
small steamer may be taken to cross Lake Mascoma, on the west side
of which is the principal Sliaker settlement. The railroad skirts this
lake for several miles. From East Lebanon the descent along the
banks of the Mascoma is great, and the track crosses the foaming
fetream fourteen times, through covered bridges, in tlie distance of six
miles, making a fast express alm.ost seem a game of " hide and seek."
Lebanon is a flourishing place of many attractions for the summer,
while at West Lebanon is located the excellent Tilden Female Seminary.
THK WIIITK MOUNTAINS DIVISION.
The old, reliable and attractive route to Winnipesaukee, Memphre-
magog and Connecticut lakes, and the Franconia and White moun-
tains, is over tliis division of the Boston and Lowell line, formerly
and favorably known as the Boston, Concord, Montreal & White Moun-
tains Railroad, which extends along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee,
and through the western range of tlie White Mountain group, and,
farrier north, runs through the Ammonoosuc and Connecticut valleys ; an
important spur penetrating the very heart of the mountain region at
Fabyan's, while branches and connecting lines reach the Pemigewasset
Valley the Profile House, Bethlehem, Jefferson, the summit of Mount
Washington, and the northern regions of Kew Hampshire, Vermont,
Canada and Maine.
Just above Concord, the train crosses tlie Merrimack Eiver for the
last time. Near this point a fine view is had of Mount Kearsarge , winch
is about a dozen miles distant. Tilton, -. charming town eighteen miles
from Concord, is the first place of importance above the State capital,
and Laronia and Lake Village are next in order. The mountains have
already become prominent features of the landscape, being first seen
across several bodies of water, along the shores of which the railroad
runs, near and above East Tilton. At the Weirs the beautiful Lalce
Winnipesaukee is readied. Here a delightful summer resort has sprung
into being within tlic past few years. Li addition to a great number
of handsome cottages, for the most part cosily situated in tlie groves,
there are tliree capacious hotels, vi/..,tlie Hotel Weirs, tlie Lakeside
House and the Wimiecoette House. Several large summer meetings
are held here every year, and one of the groves is the property of the
New Hampshire Veterans' Association. The steamboat "Lady of
the Lake" comiects herewith north-bound and south-bound exi)ress
trains conveying passeuiiers to and from Centre Harbor and Wolfboro'.
Korth' of ihe' Weirs, and on an arm of the lake, lies Meredith, and next
above, Asliiand. After passing these two places, the train approaches
1 lymouth. The ti'aveller is K.m fairly within the gateway < i the moun-
tain re-ion. The JViuigewasset Valley here broadens into a beautiful
Intervale, environed by mountains of less elevation than those farther
30
north, but still bold and picturesque. The Pemigewasset House, one
of the famous summer resorts of the mountain region, is situated in the
heart of the pretty village ; and all the day trains stop here for meals.
If the traveller is going direct to the Twin Mountain, Fabyan or
Crawford houses, to Littleton, Franconia, Jefferson, Bethlehem Junc-
tion (thence, by narrow guage railroad, to Maple wood, Bethlehem or
Profile House), or to any other of the delightful summer retreats of
northern New Hampshire, to the top of Mount Washington, to the lakes
and mountains of Vermont, to the hunting and fishing regions of Maine,
or of Canada, he continues on tlie main line of the White Mountains
Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, above Plymouth. If he is
journeying to the Profile House, or to any of the numerous summer hotels
and boarding houses of Campton, Thornton, Woodstoclc or Watenille,
he leaves the main line at Plymouth, and proceeds through the beauti-
ful Pemigewasset Valley, directly north, over the PemigeAvasset Valley
Branch, which closely follows the bank of
" The winding Pemigewasset, overhung
By htechen ehadows, whitening down its rocki.
Or lazily gliding through its intervals,
From waving rye-fields sending up the gleam
Of sunlit waters."
After leaving Plymouth and the Pemigewasset River, the traveller
on the main line ascends the valley of Baker's River, tlirough Rumney,
Wentworth and Warren, and in the latter town crosses the ridge divid-
ing tlie water system of the Merrimack from that of the Connecticut.
The -cenery througli these several towns is bold and picturesque ; the
region being mountainous wltli numerous small streams. In the town
of Haverhill the railroad runs for some distance along an elevated
plateau upon the east side of the Connecticut River ; and the views
caught by the passenger, as tlie train Aviiids in and out of the little
patclies of woodland, are often very cliarming. Vermont lies upon the
opposite side of tlie river, and the foot-hills of the Green Mountains
rise beyond the valley. At Woodsville and Wells River, tlie former
being upon the New Hampshire side, and tlie latter upon the Vermont
side of the river, connection is made Avith tlie Passumpsic Railroad
and with the Montpelier & Wells River Railroad. Tlie former, and
that portion of the Boston & LoavcU Railroad lying below this point,
form important links in the Montreal & Boston Air Lino, of which the
South Eastern Railway of Canada is also a part. At Wells River, also,
the direct New York and Saratoga express trains enter upon this divi-
sion of the ]i(»stou & Lowell Railroad.
At Woodsville the traveller who is on his way to the mountains leaves
the Connecticut River behind him, and journe.vs along the Aiumonoosuc
Elver, a swift mountain stream which has its source in the Lake of
the Clouds, iive Ihousand feet high, in the Presidential Ranj;e. The
river is several times crossed in the course of the ride through Bath,
Lisbon, Littleton, Bethlehem and Carroll. At Wing Road station the
J!L»

32
mountain trains leave the main line, and ascend the Mount Washington
Branch. Bethlehem Junction is the point of departure for Maplewood
and the Bethlehem hotels and boarding houses, and for the Profile
House. A narrow-gauge railway extends to both Bethlehem village
and to Tranconia Notch. Beyond Bethlehem there are no villages,
and only the large hotels give local designations to the railroad stations.
Thus the Twin Mountain, White Mountain, Fabyan and Mount Pleasant
houses form the central points, or stations. The Crawford House is four
miles beyond the Fabyan, on the line of tlie Portland & Ogdensburg Rail-
road. The very heart of tlie mountain region has been reached at
Fabyan's ; and the visitor looks out upon the giant wall of the Presi-
dential Kange, all the summits of which are within from four to ten
miles distant. The Mount Washington Branch extends beyond Fabyan's
and Mt. Pleasant to a junction with the Mount Washington Railway,
by which the traveller ascends by a steep incline to he summit;
but the Mt. Pleasant House is the terminal point of all express trains.
The main line of the White Mountains Division of the Boston and
Lowell line extends above Wing Road station, through the towns of
Whitefleld, Dalton and Lancaster, to Groveton, at which latter point
it connects with the Gi-and Trunk Railway. The Whitefleld &
Jefferson Railroad, which affords direct and easy means of communica-
tion with the hotels and boarding houses of Jefferson, diverges from
the main line at Wliitefleld. Northward from (iroveton, the traveller
may proceed by the Grand Trunk Railway to North Stratford and
Brunswick Springs, or, via North Stratford and Colebrook, toDixville
Notch or Connecticut Lakes, or through the Notch to Lake Urabagog
and the Rangeley Lakes, the great fishing and hunting section of North-
western Maine.
TIIK CIIERKY MOUNTAIN SLIDE.
On the north side of Clierry Mountain, facing the Jett'erson hotels,
occurred the noted landslide of July 10, 1885. This mountain is on
tlie south side of the Whitefleld & Jefterson Railroad, and lies between
Jefferson and Fabyan's, from both of which places its summit can be
seen, and it can bo reached by carriage road from both places. There
is also a station on tlie railroad at the point nearest the place. It was
the largest slide ever known in the mountains, although not fatal as
the Willey avalanche in tlie White Mountain, or Cr iwford. Notch in
182G, when a whole family perished. In this Cherry Mountain dis-
aster, one man, wlio was milking in his barn, was cauglit and held in
the ruins, l)iit afterwards extricated alive. A man and some boys, who
were building a house, on hearing the roar, jumped through the win-
dows, and, running across the road, escaped, while tlie house fell.
The slide was owing to great rains, which swelled the streams and
soaked the crust of the eartli, when a portion of the mountain side,
about 25 rods wide, 50 feet deep and two miles long, slid down into
the meadow at tlic base, wliere it spread itself out over 20 acres. Its
sides >vere cut as clean as tliough dug with a steam-shovel, while two

"West of St. Jolmsbury the line ascends to a table-land, from the
summit of which there are flue views of the White Mountains and the
nearer Connecticut vallcj', wliile it skirts the shores of Joe's Pond for
several miles. From Walden the descent is so great into the valley
■where the line reaches tiie head-waters of the La-Moille (usually
written Lamoille) that a remarkable curve is made along two sides and
around one end of a long narrow valley. At one point the line in Wal-
den is 240 feet above its level in Hardwick, which is plainly in view
below, only a mile across the valley, while around by the railroad, pass-
ing Greeuboro' at the upper end of the valley, it is a distance of six
miles, making it onf of the most noted railroad curves in New Eng-
land. Walden summit is 1,180 feet above the sea, and from this point
westward there is a fine view of the Green Mountains. From Greens-
boro' to Cambridge the line follows the Lamoille River valley, which
has a peculiar rural beauty. High mountains shut it in on either side,
and along the river are some of the richest farms of Vermont.
Morrisville is a flourishing place, where stages connect for and from
Stowe, the point of departure for Mt. Mansfleld. At Cambridge Junc-
tion the Burlington tS; Lamoille Railroad diverges to Burlington ; and
from here to Sheldon Springs the line crosses the water-shed between
the Lamoille and the Missisquoi rivers, the valley of the latter being
followed to Swanton. In East Highgate and Ilighgato there are fine
views to the southward across a wide valley cut by numerous ravines,
Avith St. Albans in the distance having two mountains for a back-
ground, Avliile through the centre of the valley the gleaming water of
the Missisquoi is seen.
At East Swanton the Montreal line of the Central Vermont R.R. is
crossed, and at Swanton junction is made with the Rouse's Point line
of the same road. From here it is only two miles to Maquam Bay,
where, near the steamer dock, is the Hotel Champlain, an attractive
place in summer. Tlie drives southward to Hathaway's Point, seven
miles distant, and to St. Albans bay beyond, are very pleasant ones.
Between St. Jolmsbury and Lunenburg this Division forms a por-
tion of tho Montreiil & Portland line, over wliich through trains, with
flue parlor cars, make the most popular and comfortable means of
transit between the two cities giving their names to the line.
The IMontreal & Portland line passes out of Montreal (Bonaventure
Street Station) by way of the Victoria Bridge and South Eastern R'y
to Newport; thence over the Passumpsic R.R. to St. Jolmsbury;
thence by the Vermont Division of the Boston & Lowell to Fabyan's ;
thence by the Portland & Ogdensburg R.R. to Portland. It will be
seen that the route lies through a most picturesque territory, including
the heart of the White Mountains region and the Avonderful Crawford
Notch ; and reference to the time-tabk of tiie Hue, given elsewhere,
„ ill show that with all these additiona'. attractions the through travel-
ler loses no time en unite, while the tourist has opportunities to visit
the famous White Mountains resorts without additional cost.

AMIIKIiST, N.H., AXD iMILFORD SPRINGS.
Amherst is a pleasant rural town, forty-eight miles from Boston on
the Keene Branch, which of itself has many attractions for summer
residents desiring the quiet life of the farm house, but is specially im-
portant as the railroad station for the celebrated Hotel Ponemah, at
Milford Springs.
HOTEt rONEMAH.
Hotel ronemah is about two miles south of Amherst station, which
is its post-omcc. A stage-ride over a pleasant and good country road
brings one to its beautiful location on a hill-top commanding a moun-
tain and valley prospect of great beauty. Tlie hill-sides and the vale
near by are covered with a forest in which are some mammoth chest-
nuts. Tliis whole surface is full of springs, equally abundant in flow
but of very different properties. The old Milford Springs House is
near by, reminding one of tlio old-time taverns of New England. In
its basement is tlie curb of the original spring which gave celebrity to
this place. A tradition connects its discovery with the dream of a
61
dying boy, which many people faithfully accept; however that maybe,
there is no doubt that many persons have experienced beneficial effects
from using the Avaters. In one spring magnesia predominates ; in
another, iron; in a third, called "The Ponemah Spring," silica, oxide
of iron, sulphate of soda, sulphate of potash, chloride of sodium, and
magnesia. In the iron spring there is a large quantity of free carbonic
acid gas.
The hotel is new, supplied with all modern conveniencss, and
managed by Messrs. Barnes & Dunklec of the Hotel Brunswick of
Boston, a sufficient guarantee of first-class service. To the west there
is an elevation overlooking the hill on which the hotel stands, called
Mount Pisgah, GOO feet high, from which a wide view of the country
can be had, with the grand Temple range of mountains on the west,
consisting of Pack-Monadnock, Temple, Kidder and other peaks, while
between and over them the grander summit of Monadnock is seen on a
clear day. From the top of the hotel a wide expanse of the Souhegan
valley is seen, and beyond to the north Mount Vernon, and still further
in that direction, three mountain peaks which challenge the beholder's
attention. That to the left is Joe English mountain, in New Boston,
and the other two. The Un-ca-noo-nucks, " a corruption of the Indian
Wunminnoogunash, the plural of W2mnunnoognn (a breast), osh being
added to the singular to form the plural of inanimate nouns." The
aptness of the name will be seen at a glance,
town and near Manchester.
These latter are in Goffs-
" Grecn-tuftod, oak-shadod, by Amoskoiig's fall,
Thy twill Uucanoonucks rose stately and tall."
When old Pascagora, the Indian sage, had his dying vision, the
braves of his Namaoskoag tribe were on these hills :—
•' For all the warriors were away,
Before the sun had brought the day
To Uncanoonucks' southern side,
To eit in council for the tribe."
The Hotel Ponemah is so situated that every room receives sunlight
at some hour of the day ; and the outbuildings and stal)los are so far
remoAcd that there is an absence of flies. In the summer season a fast
express train conveys passengers to Boston in an hour and a quarter,
arriving there at 9.20 a.m., making only three stops on the way; and
the return is as speedy, leaving Boston at 5.00 p.m.
RIILrOUD AND MOUNT VEllNON.
Mllfnrd is a quiet but i-lcasanfc country town, two miles beyond
Amherst, Avith many desirable farm-house boarding places. The
village is an attractive and thrifty one, in which, on a high bluff over-
looking the Souhegan River, there Is a noble old mansion of many
62
corners gables and bay windows, known as the Endicott House in
which boarders are received in the summer. It is an attractive pl'ace
for those wlio enjoy summer life in a country village. Milford is also
the ra. road station for Mount Vernon, which is reached by a pleasant
stage rule of four miles. Mt. Vernon is a fair sample of the retfred and

it then belonged, built a block-house and supplied a guard of twenty
men. John Ritcliie was the first male child born in the town, February
22, 1759, and died in the cause of freedom at Cambridge, during the
siege of Boston, in 1776, In 1760 the place was incorporated, and, like
so many other New Hampshire towns, named for an English nobleman,
Charles Mordant, Earl of Peterborough, the brilliant leader of the Brit-
tish army in the war of the Spanish succession. The Nubanusit and
Contoocook rivers unite in the centre village and then flow north.
The valley and surrounding hills are very beautiful. Within recent
years some of the old farms have been purchased by those who have
greatly improved them, and some of the great, old farm houses have
been enlarged and quaintly adorned.
Tucker's Hotel, in the village, is an excellent house at any season of
the year, while there are many farm houses where good board can be
had in the summer. From the sightly locations all the surrounding
mountains are in full view, which led the philosopher-poet, above quo-
ted, to exclaim :
" ♦ Happy,' I said, * wt ose home is here 1
Fair fortunes to the mountaineer !
Booh Nature to his poorest shed
Has royal pleasure-grounds outspread.' "
The drives are one of the great features of the town ; they may be
along valley roads or over long hills, by the shaded river-side, or along
the .aargin of ponds. Cunningham Pond, in the easterly part of the
town, under frowning Peterboro' (or "Pack Monadnock") Mountain,
is a favorite place for fishing and sailing parties, while great berry-
pastures lie beyond.
There are numerous manufactories. Including a large shoe shop, n°ar
the railroad station. There are five churches, a national bank, and a
public library. No one will make a mistake who locates himself or
family here for a short or long stay. The Boston and Lowell summer
trains are so arranged that one may leave here in the morning, have
several hours in Boston in the middle of the day, and return before
dark, which makes this region a desirable one for the families of busi-
ness men.
DUBLIN.
Tliis noted place of summer residence is reached via the Harrisville
station of the Keene Branch of the Boston & Lowell Railroad. It
is on the water-shed between the Merrimack and Connecticut rivers,
and contains beautiful Dublin Pond, over Avhich, on the south, towers
Monadnock, of which Ralph Waldo Emerson has written,
" I turned to Cheshire's haughty hill
********
On the Huminit aa I stood,
O'er the floor of plain and flood
Seemed to me, the towering hill
Was not altogether still,
But a quiet sense conveyed ;
If I err not, thus it said :—
64
liiiliMEuiiJi
DUBLIN F(J>D.
n.-.
'Ever; morn I lift my head,
8co New England under spread,
South from Saint Lawrence to the Sound,
From KatBkill east to the sea-bound.
Anchored fast for many an age
I aw-.it the bard and wage
Who, in large thoughts, like fair pearl-seed,
Shall string Monadnock like a bead.'"
From the elegant mansions on the margin of the pond, the comfort-
able farm houses, the bosom of tlie mountain lalcelet, or from among
the al)un(lantbhieberiy bushes wliich skirt it, " Clieshire's hauglity liill"
can be seen in all his naked and massive grandeur. Perhaps there is
not another mountain of its size in New England which is so bare ;
the whole upper portion is a ledge, and it stands out very clear against
the sky. The view from its summit is extensive and pleasing; the
climb up its sides not severe, but calling for good exertion. Whetlier
Emerson spoke "of himself or of some other man" is not known,
when he vividly said of climl)ing Monadnock —
" Pants up hither the spruce clerk
From South Cove and City wharf,
I take him up my rugged sides
Half-repentant, scant of breath, —
Bead-eyes my granite chaos show,
And my midsummer snow;
I scowl on him wiih my cloud,
"With my north-wind chill his blood;
I lame him, clattering down the rocks;
And to live he is in fear.
When, at last, I let him down
Once mora into his dapper town,
To chatter, frightened, to his clan.
And forget me if he can. "
No one will l)e disappointed who makes a summer stay on the shores
of Dublin Pond, or in any of the other localities in the vicinity of
Monadnock, such as Marlboro', Hancock or Peterboro'.
NEWPonr, N. II.
This is a favorite name for attractive summer resorts. If this New
Hampshire town may not boast of such features as tliose places of
similar name in Rhode Island and Vermont, it may yet present substan-
tial attractions of its own. For many years it has drawn large num-
bers of summer sojourners. It is the only shire town of Sullivan
County, is on tlie line of the Concord & Claremont Branch of the Boston
& Lowell Railroad, has a wide main street, a large common, excellent
public buildings, Ave churches, numerous stores, factories, and two ho-
tels. The village is pleasantly situated on sloping liills, between whifh
flows Sugar River, tlie outlet of Lake Sunapee, only flvemilo'^ distant.
Surrounding it are numerous mountains, Bald, Coit, Blueberry Ledge
and East mountains, while Croydon and Sunapee are only a little farther
removed. Some of tlie finest maple-sugar orchards in the State are
66
found in this town, and about one mile soutli of tlie village i^ an apple
tree Avliich, over a liundred years asao, was brought from Connecticut.
Elephant Rock, three miles distant, is a natural curiosity to which
many parties drive ; through the valley of Sugar River to Sunapee Har-
bor is tlie Sunapoe Lake road. Good teams can be liad at very reason-
able rates, and many families who board at farm-houses extract much
pleasure from the use of the farm wagon and old, steady horse;
mothers, nurses and children themselves drivin:., without fear, through
the charming valley and over the pleasant hill, the roads and sights o.
which will remind one of Whittier's lines : — ^
" We held on sideling way above
The river's -whitening sliallowB,
By homesteads old, with wide-flung barns
Swept through and through by swallowB.
By maple orchards, belts of pines
And larches climbing darkly
The mountain slopes, and, over all,
The great peaks rising starkly.
******
We paused at last where hoaie-bound cows
Brought down the pasture's treasure,
And in the barn the rhythmic flails
Beat out a harvest measure."
Railroad connection is direct and convenient with Concord, N. H.,
and Boston, over the Boston & Lowell system, and it is only a few
miles over the Concord & Claremont Branch to Claremont Junction
and connection with the Connecticut River line for Southern New
England and New York.
Many who propose visiting Lake Sunapee will prefer coming to New-
port first, and then locating on the lake at their leisure. The Newport
House, favorii(>ly situated near the railroad station, has accommoda-
tions for one hundred and seventy-five guests, has all modern con-
veniences and is well conducted.
SUNAPEE MOUNTAIN HOUSE.
Six hundred feet higher than the surface of Lake Sunapee and over
sixteen hundred feet above sea-level, on a beautiful round and fertile
spur of Mount Sunapee, is the farm of Mr. Natlian S. Johnson, on
which is the plain hotel called Sunapee Mountain House. It is only a
large country home ; but one of those into which people of refinement
and quiet tastes love to go for a summer stay. The host is a Quaker
gentleman ; the a^ nosphere of the home is that of gentle Christian
breeding and good literature ; and the fare of the most substantial New
England quality— the farm supplying everything i-eoded, even to the
wheat for the flour. The surroundiisg scenery is grand, and the view
of Lake Sunapee the best to be had anywhere, while near mountains,
the Sandwicli l^ange and the cone of Mt. Wasliington, are in full view.
\.
67
Nsar the house, and connected Avlth a walk, Is a cottage with a wide
veranda, .^ccupyin- a commanding- Kite. This, and others lilce it soon
to be built, supplies a suite of rooms for a family, and a most charming
view of the lake below, so environed by high hills as to remind every
Scotchman of his own celebrated Loch Katrine. The narrow southern
end of the lake, with the steep wooded sides and rockv tree-covered
islands, reminds one of "Ellen's Isle," as described in Sir Walter
Scott's "Lady of the Lake " : —
•' And farther as the hunter stray'd,
Still broader sweeps its channels made.
The shaggy mounds no longer stood,
E'r.erging from entangled wood,
But wave-encircled, seem'd to float,
Like castle girdled with its moat.
Yet broader floods extending still
Divide them from their parent hill.
Till each, retiring, claims to be
An islet in an inland sea."
The raib-oad station is Mount Sunapee, on the Concord & Claremont
section of the Northern Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad.
The post-office is Chandlerville, Merrimack County, N.H. Whenever
notified in advance by mail, Mr. Johnson will meet guests and take
them the mile up the mountain free of charge.
LAKE VIEW HOTEL.
This excellent hotel, a picture of which may 1 seen on page 78, has
a fine location on t'^e west side of Liike Sunapee, and overlooking its
entire expanse. Tne view of Mount Sunapee and other mountains
which shut in the basin, which include tnc long narrow soutii-east end
of the lake, is a particularly attractive one ; while, as Scott says of the
Scottish Highland lake, so the .sunset eiTect is seen from this western
hillside : —
"One burnished sheet of living gold,
Loc\ Katrine lay beneath him rolled."
The islands are in full view, the camp at Rlodgett's Shore on the
east, and the wide upper expanse of the lake. New London on the
opposite side, Avith th. majestic peak of Kearsargc rising still farther
to the east. The house was thoroughly overhauled and renovated last
year, and managed with great acceptance by M. P. Courser, who will
be the landlord for the season of 1886.
The entire absence of mosquitoes, no hint of hay-fever, with the
fine berries, lake flsh and xi'esh farm supplies, give the place an excel-
lent reputation. Communication witli the outside world is over the
high hill north-westward, from the summit of which is a superb view,
to Sunapee Harbor and Sunapee post-office, or by boat on the lake from
a landing in front of the hotel.
On the hillside near this landing are the charmingly located cottages
of Col. G. H. Dana, of Newport, one of which he occupies himself.
These, with others near by on the main shore and on tlie neigiiboring
68
islands, constitute a considerable summer settlement, the beauty and
comforts of which must be seen and enjoyed to be appreciated.
A little farther south on tlie west shore, on a pretty ])ay, is the
Wetherby farm, where there are some very good cottages sites. And
the stone farm-house, furnished, Avith wood-pile and stable room, can
be rented of Mr. George IJ. Wetherby, Sunapee, by month or season ;
who will also furnish farm supplies, all of the best. This place and
its facilities can be commended.
SUNAPEE, OR SUNAPEE HAKHOR.
This village is th(> centre of the town, and has several mills, two
churches and the liunals House. The latter is near the steamboat
landing, overlooking " The Harbor," which is a long deep bay crooked
like a horn. Out of this bay flows the outlet of the lake. A large
white farm-house overlooking the village is the home of Hon. William

NEWBURY . ilORE.
Newbury is a very mountainous town, with a sparse population.
There is a little vill.ig- about the south-east end of Lake Sunapee, at
the railroad station and steamboat wharf. West of here, along the
narrow southern end of the lake, is u flne shore, with alternating points
and coves with beaches. On one of these points Mr. Nathaniel White,
late of Concord, N.H., intended to erect a large hotel, for which he
prepared the foundation. When this house is built, it will be one of
the most attractive places about the lake. Both west and north of
Newbury station are some excellent cottage site- , and all about are
wonderful berry pastures.
NEW LONDON.
This educational centre is situate on the uplands, and commands a
very extensive view. The Colby Literary and Scientific Institution
lo ited here, is under the especial patronage of tlie Baptist denomina-
tion, and is Li a flourishing condition. The 1)eautiful scenery of the
place, together with the refinement of much of the society, brings many
summer visitors. The place is reached by stages from Potter Place
station on the Northern Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad,
or Bradford station, on the Concord & Claremont Branch of that
road; and in summer, from Nevvbury station on tlie latter brunch
railroad, and thence l)y the steamer "Lady Woodsum," on beautiful
Lake Sunapee, which bounds the west side of the town. There are
other flne sheets of water in the territory and numerous streams.
There is a good hotel and several good boarding houses. The place
is recommended to tliose who are glad to get away to a quiet inland
and roland town.

" We had been wandering for many days
Through the rough northern country.
We had seen
The sunset, with its bars of purple cloud,
Like a new heaven, shine upward from the lake
OfWinnlpesaukee; and had felt
The sunrise breezes, midst the leafy isles
Which stoop their summer beauty to the lips
Of the bright waters."
There is no mistaking the Amesbury bard's opinion of this lalte re-
gion ; and no visitor to tlie mountain region sliould neglect to make a
voyage across the lake from the Weirs. Little or much time may be
taken for this; for there are delightful places of sojourn at Centre
Harbor, Wolfboro', and on some of the islands. The excellent steamer,
"Lady of the Lake," which constitutes i)urt of the Boston & Lowell
line, is commanded by Captain Wadleigh, a courteous gentleman, whom
to know is to respect, whose --' nite knowledge of the lake, its islands,
with their history, and all t' .nountain peaks, is freely given, and
makes the sail one of the most delightful imaginable. The steamer's
paddles, escaping steam and whistles awake many echoes among the
hills, and reminds one of another of Whittier's conceits,—
" And the bear on Osslpee
Climbed the topmost crag to see
The strange thing drifting under;
And, through the haze of August,
Passaconaway and Paugus
Looked down in sleepy wonder."
By the present arrangements, the trip from Boston to Centre Harbor
can be made in four and one-half hours, over the Boston & Lowell
Railroad, in conuocliou with the "Laily of the Lake." If the visitor has
i:
70
already been impressed by the fine view from the shore, the steamer voy-
age will enhance his admiration tenfold. There is a constant succes-
sion of charming views, in which the beautiful waters, the grace-
fully rounded shores, the swelling hills upon the borders of the lake,
the romantic islands, and the distant mountain peaks, combine in many
entrancing pictures.
The lake has an area of upwards of 71 square miles, exclusive of
its 274 islands. Its shores are very irregular, and their line around the
lake has an extent of no less than 182 miles ; its length is about twenty-
five miles and it varies in width from one to ten miles, and is in the
counties of Belknap and Carroll. It is very irregular in form and is
472 feet above the level of the sea. Several of its islands are large, and
compose excellent farms of from 200 to 500 acres. There are no very
large streams flowing into the lake, and it is supposed that a large part
of the water supply comes from sub-aqueous springs. The largest
streams which enter the lake are the Merry Meeting and Smith's rivers,
at the southern extremity ; the other tributaries being short brooks,
or the outlets of adjacent ponds.
The derivation of the euphonious name is variously given, some
claiming that Winnipesaukee means, in the Indian tongue, "The Beauti-
ful Water in a High Place ; " while others say its significance is, "The
Smile of the Great Spirit." When one has viewed its beautiful expanse
from one of the surrounding hills, either definition of the name will be
accepted as eminently appropriate.
Every one Avho has read Starr King's " White Hills," is familiar with
what Edward Everett has said of the beauty of Lake Winnipesaukee,
beginning, " T have been something of a travel-tir in my own country."
Besides these well-known, if not trite, wori>. Dr. C. T. Jackson has
written : " But if our mountains cannot challenge comparison Avith the
Swiss and Tyrolose Alps, if we have not the glaciers, with their wonder-
ful variety and grandeur of form, we have lake and forest scenery, which
for peculiar and bewitching beauty, may be pronounced uiirivalled, —
an immense sheet of pure and sparkling water enclosed in an amphi-
theatre of mountains, from whose sunnnits the dark foliage of a
northern forest sweeps in one unbroken mass down t.) the very edge
of the water, whose surface is dotted with innumerable islands, f-rested
with the towerhig pines, whose dark mass is repeated in a crystal
mirror. And first among our lakes is Wlmiipesaukee. The hand of
man has done nothing to add to its charm : ii cannot l)oast either the
marble villas of Como, or the terraced islands of Lake Maggiore, cov
ered with tropical foliage. Were it not for the smoke which here and
there curls up from among the pines, the eye would hardly trace the
presence of luan from many points of Its shores and islands. From
the shore the range of vision is soon stopped by the Islands, whieli
can hardly be separated from each other In the dhn distance ; but, from
tlie SI.. limit of any one of the numerous mouutahis which surround the
lake, the whole extent of its surface is .spread out like a map, and

On (lie of the numerous Islands there lived for years, solitary and
alone, an aged spinster, familiarly known as Aunt Dolly. In this wild
and romantic spot, almost entirely cut off frora the rest of the world,
she lived in hermit independence, takiPdr tare of her few sheep, and
ofcasionally rowinir her own skiff to the main land.
Centre Harbor, A\ ith two prominent hotels,— the Senter House and
Moulton House,— and numerous boarding houses, has long been a
favored summer resort. It is only ten miles distant from the Weirs
by steamer. Red Hill, 2,043 feet high, is near the town. Its summit
commands a magnificent view.
From Centre Harbor stages run to Moultonboro', Ossipee Mountain
Park, Sandwich, Centre Sandwich, North Sandwich and South Tarn-
worth.
Wolfboro', another famed summer resort, is upon the eastern shore,
nearly opposite the Weirs. The/e are a number of commodious hotels,—
of which the Pavilion Hotel and the Glendon House are the largest,—
and more than a dozen boarding houses.
THE WEIKS.
Situated on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, with a grand outlook
across its waters upon the high mountains beyond, is the station of the
Weirs. In colonial times the Indians had flsh-wcirs here, in the shal-
lows near the outlet of the lake, and caught shad. Once a year the
Winnipesaukee tribe encamped about here, and passed weeks in feast-
ing. The remnants of the old stone dams along which the nets were
stretched reninined long after the English came. Near by is the Endi-
cott Rock, which was, in 1652, inscribed Avith Gov. John Endicott's
name and the initials of Edward Johnson and Simon Willard, the
two officers sent by Massachusetts to find the head of the Merri-
mack. This rock has been raised from its bed in the stream, at the
point where it flows from the lake, and now most of it is above the
surface of the water. The remains of the dam and the historic stone
may be seen on the riglit, just before the train reaches tbe Weirs sta-
tion. The Indians told the surveyors that the stream flowing from
the lake was the true head of the Merrimack ; but Passaconaway, in
1G59, informed Major Waldron that the name was applicable either to
that stream or to tlie Pemigewasset.
The Weirs of the present day is, in the summer-time, a place of very
popular resort. A series of grove meetings— religious, temperance
and military — attract thousands of visitors during the month of
August ; many coming from near points for a day only, while others
encamp here, or sojourn in cottages or in the hotels, of which there
are three, viz,., the Hotel Weirs, the Lakeside House, and the Winne-
cootte House. As the traveller approaches the station from the south,
the grove of the New Hampshire Veterans' Association is on the left,
and just beyond is tlie Hotel Weirs. A large building used as a meet-

Ing place and a dining hail by tlie Veterans is in tlie rear of the hotel
and the Winnecoette House still farther up the hill. Ten Grand Army
departments have roomy and convenient cottag.s, five having
been built the present season. A new and tasty building for head-
quarter offices has also been built near the railroad station and steam-
boat landmg. The latter has been extended one hundred feet over the
water, the past season, and upon it a much-needed and well-appointed
restaurant built, which the travelling public will And ready to supply
all needs or reasonable wants; being built on an elevated platform
over the waters of the lake, it will be found a delightfully cool and
pleasant place in which to obtain refreshment,-the waters, shores and
islands, with the majestic surrounding mountains, being in full view
The grove where most of the religious gatherings are held is on the
right, just beyond the station, and between the railroad ai-.d the lake
Additional land on the left of the railroad has also been purchased, and
a new church thereon is proposed. A skating rink was built on the hill
west of the station last year, which is conducted ou strictly temperance
principles, which is true of all the place. The steamboat wharf is
near the station; and the steamer "Lady of the Lake," which plies
between this point and the two famous resorts at the head of the
lake, and on the eastern shore,— Centre Harbor and Wolfboro',— con-
nects with all the day express trains.
In the view from The Weirs, the Ossipee Mountains, culminating in
Mt. Shaw, are seen to special advantage. On their left is the sharp
peak of Chocorua, and stretching away from them in the same direction
are Paugus, Passaconaway, White Face, Tripyramid, and Sandwich
Dome or Black Mountain, in the order here given. Nearer is Red Hill,
just back of Centre Harbor. A little distance above The Weirs, Mt.'
Washington is for a moment visible.
The landscapes and water views from any spot about the Weirs are
remarkably fine, but are especially so from Captain Wadleigh's home,
on the hill to the right of the Weirs, or from the hotel piazzas ; the
sunset views are a special feature. This whole region is a favorite
with the Quaker poet who has written—
" The shadows round the inland sea
Are deepening into night;
Slow up the slopes of Ossipee
They chase the lessening light.
Tired of the long day's blinding heat,
I rest ray languid eye,
Lake of the Hills ! where cool and sweet
Thy sunset waters He !
Along the sky, in wavy lines,
O'er isle and reach and bay,
Green-belted with eternal pines,
The mountains stretch away.
Below, the maple masses sleep
Wliere shore with water blends,
While midway on tho tranquil deep
The evening light, dQscends.

So seemed it when yon hill's red t rown

The "red crown" refers to Itcd Hill, north of tlie lake, not far from
Centre Harbor, which is 2,043 feet high, and commands a magnificent
view. The " Smile of God" refers to the supposed meaning of Win-
nipesaukee, referred to in a preceding paragraph.
OSSIPEE MOUNTAIN I'AKK.
" The topmost crag" of Ossipee formerly went ?)y tlie homely, if ex-
pressive, name of " Black Snont."* At a March meeting, in 1882, the
citizens of Moultonboro' changed it to "Mount Shaw," in honor of Mr.
P.. F. Sl^a^v, of Lowell, Avho has a large estate iu a remarkably beauti-
ful glen, nearly a third of the way up its grand side, known as Ossipee
Mountain Park. It contains 5,000 acres, iu which there is every desir.
able beauty of crag, forest and cascaded stream.
Yielding to pressing importunities, the owner has consented to share
its beauties with others, and has opened it to the public.
" The Hall" is situated in the midst of a lawn of seven acres, on the
edge of a plateau 800 feet above the waters of Winniposaukee.
There is a brook through the premises Avhicli reminds one of Long-
fellow's description of another, not far off: —
"At first, resembling
A little child, that all alone
Comes venturing; down the stairs of stone,
Irresolute and trembling.
Later ******
Out of the forest dark and dread,
Across the open fields it fled
Like one pursued and haunted."
The stream, known as th^ Weelohka, has a descent of 250 feet in its
mile through the park, and a remarkably beautiful cascade with a fail
of 49 feet. The "ramble" alonir this brook and over its rustic l)ridires,
which cross and recross it, is the delight of visitors. There are five
miles of woodland paths, and from the vistas cut at various points, and
from a crag 12G feet higher than -The Hall," known as "Crow's Nest,"
most wonderful sunset views maybe had; IMoosilauke on the west, and
Kearsarge and Monadnock at the south-west, l)eing included in the vast
landscape. The poet AVhittier is one of those most enamored with
this place, and from here might have written his well-known lines : —
"First a lake
Tinted w'ith sunset ; next the wavy lines
Of far receding hills; and yet more far,
Monadnock lifting from his night of pines
His rosy forehead to the evening sun."
i
I
* .V substantial lookout has been erected on this summit, forty. fcur feet in height.
The platform is 3,000 feet above sea level. A gootl and easy path kvuls up from the Hall.
The view is pronounced the grandest of lake and inountaiu scenery iu all Ts'ew Entrland.

This uncommon resort is in tlic town of Moultonuoro', N.H., and Is
reached from Weirs Station by tlie steamer " Lady of theLalve" to
Centre Harbor, wlicre a sta^e awaits her noon- trip arrival. The stage
passes through tlie villages of Moultonborj' Mills and Corner t.* the
"Tark." This stage drive is notable for the excellent views it supplies
of the tinest of all the mountain ranges, Sandwich Dome, Tripyramid,
Passaconawaj , Cliocorua and Whiteface coming successively into sight.
At one place tlio road winds around the face of tlie acclivity 300 feet
above tlie liighway at its base, supplying a wonderful view of the lake.
Tlie Hall is home-like, with all sanitary ap{)ointments. The table is
supplied from tlie farm and dairy. As a retreat for rest without mo-
notony, tliis highland glen is commended. Sulphur and chalybeate
springs are here found. Connuunications addressed to B. F. Shaw,
Lowell, Mass., receive earliest attention. Application should oe made
in advance of arrival, as there is no village to accommodate "over-
flow."
8QUAM LAKES AND ASIJUAM HOUSE.
Lying west and north-west of Winnipesaukee are the Squam lakes,
of which there are three. Tlicy may ])e reached via steamer " Lady of
the Lake" from The Weirs to Centre Harbor, and thence by carriage
over a delightful road some seven miles. But the most direct route is
by rail to Ashland, {^nd thence by stage or mountain wagon to Shepherd
Hill, which rises eight hundred feet in the centre of the laud dividing
the three lak< ■. On this immense round hill of rock, partly covered
with ."oil, is situated the popular Asquam House. This hill has long
enjoyed an envial)le reputation for the grandeur and beauty of the v.ew
as seen from its summit. It is here that Whittier's poem, "The Hill-
Top," has its location ; and in it he wrote : —
" I felt the cool breath of the North;
Between me and the sun,
O'er deep, still lake, and ridgy earth
I saw the cloud-sha " 'S run.
Before me stretched for gliHteninjj miles,
Lay mountain-girdled Squam;
Like green-winged birds, the leafy isles
Upon its bosom swarm.

encircling locks below ! The scene spread l)efore one, as he stands on
this elevation, is such that it will not do to dweU apon, for fear of
being accused of exaggeration. It is sufficient to say that it is the
favorite view of our beloved Quaker poet; and every summer he comes
to review it. On the north side of the hill, under the trees, from a
rustic bench on a broken ledge, "the Bard of Liberty" secures his
particular delight. It is a view through a narrow vista, made by the
pines, birches and poplars, out upon the lake far ])elow; several of the
islands are seen, and away beyond the lake,
" There towered ChoeoruaV peak,"'
as he originally saw it; its green ])aso and high white horn filling the

Nichols, of Christ Church, Hartford, Conn., is to 1)uihl a cottage on
these " Whittier's Rocks " this season; Captain Bunce, of the U. S.
Navy, has one near by, and a few others are located on the eastern
slope of the hill. From the hotel veranda, or its tower, the whole
basin and surrounding mountains can be seen at ii glance.

SUNAl'EE LAKE.
This beautiful sheet of water is in a basin at the height of land that
divides the waters of the Connecticut and Merrimack rivers, and bor-
ders the eastern part of Sullivan and tlie western part of Merrimack
counties, and is surrounded by the towns of Newbury, New London
and Sunapee. It is about ten miles in length, and from one-half to one
and a half miles in width. Ili-h hills and mountains surround it on all
sides,— Sunapee, Croy<lon and Gi an tluua, and grand Kearsarge being
among its mountain sentinels, while Ascutney, in Vermont, is in sight
over the lower western elevation^. Numerous beauuf ul, wooded islands
add charm to the surface, while the irregular shape of the lake

The west shore is generally bold, while on the east shore there are
several beaches of fine, Mhite sand. At various points around the lake,
and on some of the islands, settlements of summer cottages have
sprung up, Including Pine Clift", Camp Comfort, Blodgett's Landing,
Great and Liberty Islands, and the shore near the Lake View House.'
This latter is situated on a prominent spot overlooking the lake in its
whole expanse, and giving a flue view of the surrounding mountains,
and of the town of New Loudon, on the east side.
Additions and improvements the past season will increase the com-
forts and conveniences of this well-known and well-appreciated house ;
the points of attraction being its elevation, wide views of lake and
mountains, pure water and air, excellent table, pure milk from the fine
herd of cows, and produce from the sun-ounding farm, with com-
fortable nights, convenient access to the steamer dock, and regular
connection Avith the trahis at Xewbury station, and telephone connec-
tion Avith Newport, the shire town of Sullivan County.
At Sunapee Harbor is the outlet of the lake by Sugar River, on which
are many manufactories. Near by is the excellent llunals House, the
postefflce of Sunapee, and churches. This is also the home of the
companionable and versatile Scotchman, William C. Sturoc, Esq.,
thoroughly acquainted with the history of all the region, whose lines'
we have already quoted, and whose nativity will account for his use of
the word "Ben" for mountains, and reference to Scotland's fair
Katrine, in the following lines, published in the volume of New Hamp-
shire Poets : —
" Sweet Granite ' Katrine ' of this mountain land I
Oh jewel set amid a scene so fair !
Keursargo, Aacutney, rise on either hand,
Wliilo Gran.ham watches with a lover's care,
And o;ir darlv " Ben " to Croydon sends in glee,
A greeting o'er thy silvery breast. Lake Sunapee."
The dark "Ben" is Mount Siuiapee, on tlie south. The waters of the
lake are peculiarly clear and free from all organic matter, and well
stocked Avith l^lack bass, land-locked salmon, pickerel, perch and other
llsh. There is a staunch steamer, called the "Lody "Woodsum," which
plies regularly, morning and night, connecting with the trains, and can
be chartered at reasonal)le rates for excursions during the day ; another,
and larger l^oat, named Edmund Burke, has recently been put on these
waters, to acc^ommodato the increasing excursion business.
When the Middlesex Canal, between Boston and Lowell, was pro-
jected, in 170;5, the Hon. James Sullivan, Judge of the Massachusetts
Supreme Court, and afterwards Governor, conceived that, via the
Middlesex Canal, the Merrimack and Contoocook rivers, a canal con-
necting with Lake Sunapee, then its outlet. Sugar Klver, to the Con-
necticut at Claremont, and thence by streams, in nortnern Vermont,

Lilx'rty Island, in the middle of the lake, connected by small islands
and bridges Avitli tlie main land near tlie Lake ^'iew House, is nearly
1,880 feet long; Great Island contains about 75 acres, and its north end
is a high ledge ; Gardner's Island, between the two former, containing
an acre, is the prettiest of all, and the best site for a nice cottage.
MASCOMA LAKE.
This lake, lying partly in Lebanon and partly in Enfield, is about
five miles in length, and averages about a third of a mile in breadth.
The scenery, as viewed from the lake, is very beautiful— lying as it
does in the midst of high hills—with a varied landscape of forests,
cultivated lands and distant mountain peaks.
* • * O'er no sweeter lake
Shall morning break or noon-cloud sail,—
No fairer face than thine shall take
The sunset's golden vail."
On the southerly side of the lake are the buildings and rich lands of
the Enfield Shakers. Within a few years the shore of the lake has
become the resort of summer camps ; some families occupying rustic
cottages and others tents. Still more cottages and a boarding house
are now projected. A small steamer sails upon tlie lake in the summer
months, connecting Avith the trains at East Lebanon and Enfield, and
taking parties to the various cottages and camps. The waters are
stocked with black bass and pickerel, inviting the skill of the fisher-
man, and often handsomely rewarding him. From the surrounding
hills fine views may be had of the Green Mountains, and, from some
points, of the White Mountains, while Mount Cardigan, 3,156 feet
high, is only about fourteen miles away.
The name Mascoma is derived from two Indian words : namos, fish,
and com, water or pond. The first sylable na has been dropped and a
added for euphony : thus Mascoma ; the emphasis being on the first
syllable. The Manchester name of Amoskeag is essentially the same
word ; Na-mos-keag, meaning fish place ; and the Canadian river, Ya-
maski, is of the same derivation.
There is geologic evidence that formerly the lake was much larger,
and some convulsion of nature rent the outlet at Efst Lebanon, which
is very narrow; more recently, by the hand of man, a dam across the
gorge outlet has partly restored the old level of water. It lies in two
basins, and a causeway with drawliridge divides the two parts. Great
luantities of white lilies are seen in the l)order of the hike, along
which the main line of the Nortliern Division is located.
NEWFOUND LAKi..
This mountain lake, seven miles long and fliree miles wide, lies in
the towns of Bristol, IJridgewater and Hebron, and is reached' l)y the
i
SI
Bristol branch of the Northern Division of tlie Boston & Lowell Rail-
road from Franklin, N. H. Up to the present time it has been little
known to the outside world, but is sure to be a favorite resort when
the public come to appreciate its advantages. It is now resorted to by
many camping parties. The distance from Bristol to the principal
camping place is between four and Ave miles, over a good road, as-
cending most of the way. The population about the lake is sparse,
but kindly disposed toward responsible and respectable campers. The
farmers readily supply teams for transportation. The principal flsh are
chub, perch, pickerel, black bass, lake trout and land-locked salmon.
NEWFOUND LAKE.

The lake is surrounded by very high hills, and there are three moun-
tams at the northerly end. There are quite a number of islands, mostly
covered Avith wood, supplying camping retreats ; Little Belle Island
being a favorite place. There is a good supply of both sail and row
boats. The shores have all the characteristics of the mountain lake
bemg bold and precipitous in some places, and at others low and sandy'
Off Sugar Loaf Mountain, 180 feet of line is required for fishing so
deep is the water. A very good house, called the Lake View Hotel is
located near the waters, in Bridgewater. Many of the farmers about
the lake take boarders, and many pleasant places may be found for a
long or short stay. At many points there are pastures where great
quantities of berries may be gatliered. Those who have camped and
boarded here speak in high tern:S of praise of the localiiy. It has the
charm of great quietness and liill-country scenery.

LAKE MRMPIIUKM.VOOG.
Newport, Vt., which may be reached in a short ride from the moun-
tains, or by the IMontrcal & Boston Air Line express trains, is upon
the northern verge of Vermont, and at the head of tlie beautiful LalvO
Memphrcma-og. The Memphreniagog House is a large and finely ap-
pointed hotel, which attracts crowds of fashional>le visitors m the
summer season, and is under the management of Mr. W. F. Bowman,
which is a guarantee of its excellence. Tlie railway station, steamboat
landing and hotel are contiguous, and the hotel piazzas command a
magnificent view of the lake and the neighboring mountains. A promi-
nent object seen on the west shore of the lal^e, about a dozen mdes
distant, is Owl's Head. This mountain, on account of it^ isolated
position, becomes a picturesque feature in tlie landscape, A^hile its
summit commands a magnificent view of the lake and the surround-
ing countrv. There are many fine rambles and drives in and about
Newport; and excursions upon the lake by steamer, sail-boat and
row-boat, form anotlier source of pleasure. Newport is upon the
direct Montreal & Boston Air Line, the South Eastern Railway form-
ing here a junction with the Passumpsic liailroad. This latter road
also has a line running north to Sherbrooke, and, in connection with
the Grand Trunk Railway, to Quebec.
THE CONNECTICUT LAKES.
The Connecticut Lakes, the head waters of the Connecticut River,
like the Rangely Lakes, furnish rare sport for the angler; and the sur-
rounding forests abound in game, including deer and lordly moose.
A pleasant carriage ride of twenty-five miles from Colebrook, along
the valley of the Upper Connecticut, and through West Stewartstown,
Canaan (Vt.) , and Pittsburgh, Avill bring one to tlie lower and largest of
the three lakes. There is a cosey hotel here, the Connecticut Lake
House. Tlie lower lake covers about three square miles, and has an
elevation of 1,(518 feet; the second lake has an elevation of 1,852 feet;
and the third lake, of 2,058 feet.
A trip of about twelve miles east from the first Connecticut Lake,
over an old logging road and bridle path, leads to Parmachenee Lake.

CHAPTER X.
PLYMOUTH AND THE PEMIGEWAS8ET HOUSE.
In the mind of the traveller these two names are synonymous. When
the town is mentioned, visions of a neat, capacious, finely appointed,
and splendidly kept hotel arise; and, if the hotel is referred to, a
beautiful town surrounded by hills, watered by the winding Pemige-
wasset River, and with pleasant and inviting country roads stretching
out over hill and through dale, comes into being. The Court House,
the Normal School building, and several churches, are the most prom-
inent edifices besides the hotel. The old Court House, now a library
building, in rear of the present Court House, is the one in which Daniel
Webster made his first plea. It was removed from the south part of
the village. The Pemigewasset intervales, at Plymouth, are broad and
very picturesque, and scattered over them are many beautiful elm
trees. Mount Prospect, formerly known as North Hill, is in the
neighboring town of Holderness, between four and five miles from
Plymouth. The view from the top is very grand, embracing as it does
the neighboring lakes and great numbers of mountain peaks. Liver-
more Falls, between two and three miles above Plymouth, are in a
rocky defile of the Pemigewasset River. They will well repay a visit,
as will also the New Hampshire and Massachusetts State fish-hatching
establishment near by
The Pemigewasset House has long been one of the most popular of
the mountain hotels, by reason of both its pleasant situation and its
high standard. The building has a frontage of 220 feet, is four stories
in height, and its rooms are especially spacious, airy and comfortable.
The halls are commodious; and the dining room, from necessity, is a
large apartment. Every railway traveller, as well as the summer
visitor who tarries long within its walls, feels a personal interest in
this popular hotel, for the reason that it is the chief dining station on
the route going either north or south.
THE PEMIGEWASSET VALLEY AND FRANCONIA NOTCH.
The opening of the Pemigewasset Valley Branch, in 1883, marked a
new era in White Mountain travel. Hitherto the traveller, upon his
arrival at Plymouth, liad the choice presented him, if he intended go-
ing to the Profile House, of pursuing Ills fartlier journey by stage (a
distance of thirty miles), or of continuing by rail via lethlehem Junc-
tion, and thus entering that famous retreat from tlie north. Tlie only
means of reaching any of the numerous hotels and boarding houses

along tlie beautiful valley were furnished by stage. These limited
facilitiej! prevented many persons from taking one of the most delight-
ful journeys afforded in the whole round of mountain travel. The
Pemigewasset Valley has always been a favorite haunt of artists and
the lovers of Nature. The approach to the high mountains of the Fran-
conia Range furnishes a constant succession of beautiful landscapes.
In many places the valle'- broadens into pleasant intervales, where the
river winds amid luxuris eadows, while the dark hills rise on either
side. In the blue distance, up the long vista, are seen the bold out-
lines of Mounts Lafayette, Lincoln, Liberty, Flume, Pemigewasset,
Cannon, and Kinsman. A turn In the road brings before one a new and
charming picture, the mountain forms about tlie Franconla Notch be-
coming more and more distinct. There are several little villages, and
numerous farn^ liouses, scattered through the valley; and, as might be
expected, the most attractive and commanding situations have been
cho,;en for hotels and boarding houses. At Camptou a view opens to
the right, up the Mad River Valley, which so fascinated Longfellow,
and the wildness of whose stream inspired him to write —
" ' Why dost thou so wildly rush and roar,
Mad River, O, Mad River?
Wilt thou not pause and cease to pour
Thy hurrying, headlong waters o'er
This rocky shelf forever?'
* I heard the distant ocean call,
Imploring and eutreating;
Drawn onward, o'er this rocky wall
I plunged, and the loud waterfall
Made answer to the greeting.
And now, beset with many ills,
A toilsome life I follow ;
Compelled to carry from the hills
These logs to the impatient mills
Below there, in the hollow.
Men call me mad, and well they may,
When, full of rage and trouble,
I burst my banks of sand and clay,
And sweep their wooden bridge away,
Like withered reeds or stubble.' "
The debris along the Mad River and Pemigewasset valleys, with the
wash of sand and stones over many a meadow, plainly shows what
torrents sometimes pour down these streams when spring thaws or
summer rains overfill them. At North Woodstock the east branch of
the Pemigewasset enters, coming from a pass through the mountains
which leads direct to Fabyan's, and along which It Is proposed to some
day extend the railroad now terminating at this point, which would
much shorten the distance to the heart oi the mountains. There is a
foot-path through this valley at present, and good trout streams abound.

From being a place of no special importance, before the opening of
the railroad, North Woodstock has come into great favor witu sum-
mer sojourners. Having easy rail connection to the South, and be-
ing within ten miles of the Profile, with all the Franconia Notch
attractions between, with a fine, wide valley, num».rous side valleys, a
multitude of trout brooks, as yet but little fished, and with mountain
views on all sides, its houses were crowded last season. Increased
accommodations will await the larger number of visitors sure to come
this year. While the east branch valley leads to Fabyan's, from the
west flows the Moosilauke Brook, on which is the Agassiz Basin which
has some remarkable rock scenery. Through this valley a path only
eight miles long leads to Moosilauke Mountain. There is a point on
this path where nearly all the Tresidential Range and many other grand
mountains cun be seen.
From North Woodstock to the Profile House a gap of between ten
and eleven miles remains to be traversed by stage. The railroad ride
presents a magnificent series of views throughout its whole extent,
and renders a journey expeditious that was formerly, from necessity,
slow ; but there are few travellers who will regret the fact tnat the
stage-coach has been left to perform a part of the trip, and a part whore
the visitor would the more willingly linger. The stage outfit is of the
best description, and the ride from the terminus of the railroad up
through the Franconia Notch is delightful.
The valley towns passed through on the railroad journey, after leav-
ing Plymouth, are Campton, Thornton and Woodstock. Each of these
places presents rare attractions for the summer sojourner; and Camp-
ton, more especially, is liberally provided with boarding houses. The
upper part of the valley is mainly a wilderness, with but few houses
until the Flume and Profile Houses are reached.
i» I
THE STAGE RIDE.
Gaining a seat in or upon one of the fine stage-coaches which ply
between North Woodstock and the Profile Hous,e, the traveller drinks
in the pure mountain air, and feasts his eyes upon new visions of
beauty. Soon after leaving North Woodstock, the road crosses Har-
vard Brook, upon which the Georgiana Falls are situated, between one
and two miles distant. The valley has now narrowed ; and the dark
mountain ridges crow«^ upon either side, with here and there a little
intervale of field and meadow, or forest tract. Little Coolidge, Big
Coolidge, and the Potash Mountains rise upon the right; Pemigewas-
set Mountain on the left; while in front are the bold forms or Mounts
Flume, Liberty, Lincoln and Lafayette. Only one or two houses are
seen, until the Flume House, about hali way on the road to the Profile
House, is reached. This is a large and pleasant hotel, which has re-
cently been much enlarged. It is in proximity to those great natural
wonders, the Flume and the Fool, which, however, can best be visited,
when time can be given, in a special excursluu from the Pronic House.

unless the visitor intends!
to make tlie Flume House
his stopping place. Both
hotels are under the same
management. The Flume
upon Flume Brook, a mile dis-
tant; and the Pool, upon the
remlgowassct Rivor, half a mile '
distant by a pleasant pathway through the forest. Pemigewasset
Mountain, a higli spur of Mount Kinsman, rises in rear of the Flume
House. The view from the summit towards the superior peaks on
the opposite side of the valley, and of the valley southward, is very
fine. Tlie peaks on tlio east side of the valley form the profile called
"Washington lying in State;" Mount Liberty serving as the face,
Avith its highest ridge as the nose. From tlie Flume House to the
little plateau on which the Profile House is situate^, there la au
S.'^
ascent of 543 feet ; and the road winds through tiie forest, with fre-
quent glimpses of the high beetling cliffs on either iide. The pass is
in places very narrow. Tlie Temigewasset River, here a tumbling,
rapid stream, is crossed a little distance above the Flume House ; and
the Basin is beside the road a mile farther on. The frowning southern
cliffs of Cannon or Profile Mountain are seen in front for some distance,
Avhile Eagle Cliff rises as the eastern wall of the Notch; and when the
beautiful little Profile Lake is nearly passed, and the Profile House
nearly reached, tlie rugged features of the famous profile itself comes
plainly Into view. Out of the placid little lake, now at one's feet, flows
the Pemigewasset, which, in the thirty miles between here and Ply-
mouth, has a fall of over fifteen hundn d feet. This mountain lakelet
is the true source of the Merrimack River. The distance from Boston
to the Profile House by this route is only one hundred and fifty-six
miles, and to the Flume House, one hundred and fifty-one miles.
THE PROFILE HOUSE.
One of the great centres of resort in tlie White Mountains region is
the Franconia Notch. Two of the great natural wonders of the White
Hills, the Profile and the Flume, are to be seen within its precincts;
and its whole environment is of the most romantic description. liug-
gcd mountains, and peaceful, placid lakes, one of which mirrors the
stern visage of the "Old Man of the Mountain," Avho has so long
looked out from his high perch on the cliffs, combine their picturesque
charms to render this spot cue of matchless beauty. The Profile
House, one of the most fam'jus of the mountain hotels, is situated in
the midst of all this grandeur. The little mountain-encircled plateau
occupied by the Profile House f?nd its dependencies stands 1 ,974 feet
above the sea; and the hotel is tlie highest in the mountains, except
those on Mount Washington and Moosilauke. Mount Cannon, on the
southern face of which the great Profile hangs twelve hundred feet
liigher, rises on the Avest to the height of 3,8r»0 feet, or 1,876 feet higher
than the hotel ; while Eagle Cliff towers on the east side of the glen,
1,472 feet above the Profile House, or 8,446 feet above the sea. The
summit of Mount Lafayette, 5,259 feet high, is less than four miles
away, by a winding bridle-path, although hidden by the nearer though
lesser heights. A little distance north of the hotel is the beautiful
Echo Lake ; and still nearer, in tlie opposite direction, is Profile Lake,
equally an object of beauty; while across its fair expanse, and some-
times crowned by a wreath of clouds, is the Avonderf ul Profile, the most
remarkable object of its kind in the world, the naturalness of which
at once impresses every beliolder, and the picture of which will ever
after remain with great distinctness in the mind. As soon as the grim
majesty of the profile is seen, one at once understands the impression
made on the poet, —
* * ♦ " Like a sun-rimmed cloud,
Tbo great Nolch mouutalns shone,
VVftlciic'doverby ihe solonin-browcd
And awful face of atone."
1
4
89
90
The face is formed by a series of three ledges, one of which forms
the forehead, another tlie nose and upper lip, and the third the chin.
When viewed from the front, all resemblance to a human face is lost.
The face was discovered, in 1805, by two workmen on the Kotch road.
The Flume is situated between five and six miles below the Proflle
House, and near the Flume House. It is a great Assure in the rocks,
about seven hundred feet long, and from sixty to seventy feet In depth.
The walls are perpendicular ; and in the narrowest part a huge bowlder,
which at some remote period crashed down the mountain side, formerly
hung suspended. On the 20th of June, 1883, a great storm occurred
in the mountains, accompanied by several terrific land-slides, one of
which, starting nearly at the top of Mount Liberty, gathei'ed force
when it reached tlie Flume stream, and swept down the narrow defile
with resistless fury, carrying everything, even the great bowlder, be-
fore it. Thousands of huge rocks were hurled down the ravine and
spread over a wide space below. The most marvellous changes were
wrought within the Flume itself. Not only was the gigantic bowlder
hurled from its position, but the rift was much extended, and deepened
in places. Although it is a great disappointment to the present trav-
eller not to see thut stone which " if it had been a ' little bolder' would
have fallen through;" yet in the opinion of many the Flume is more
remarkable than before. At the upp^r end a new cascade was created,
and an immense rock was thrown over upon others, while the under
side was hollowed out so as to leave a grotto of respectable size. A
plank walk extends up through the Flume beside, and at times partly
over, the stream. The Flume, Pool and Basin are generally included
in a round excursion from the Proflle House ; and, for the accommo-
dation of guests, carriages are run at stated hours. The ride is de-
lightful, as a splendid road extends through the Notch, along the side
of the Pemigewasset Iliver. The waters of Profile Lake and a little
pond just above it flow into the Pemigewasset, forming, in fact, its
source ; while Echo Lake flows into one of the tributaries of the Con-
necticut. There are mai^y pi sant rambles in the vicinity of the two
lakes, a,nd boating and flshiiv dso enter Into the list of amusements.
Bald Mountain, north of Echo Lake, and eajily reached, affords a glo-
rious lookout. Mount Cannon is ascended on foot, but not without
much exertion ; and the summit of Lafayette is reached on horseback.
Mount Cannon derives its name from a large, flat rock near its summit,
which bears a strong resemblance to a cannon when viewed from below.
In its size, appointments, and the cliaracter of its management, the
Profile House befits its noble surroundings ps fully as the works of man
could be expected to meet such grand requirements. The hotel accom-
modates l)etween five and six hundred guests in royal style. It is a
very fashionable resort ; and its register of guests is a roll of the most
honored names of Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and the
South and West. Tlie table, celebrated for its excellence, derives
niany fresh delicacies from the fine Proflle House farm in Fraucoula.

THE 7LUUE.

A choice herd of Jersey cows, for example, furnishes fresh milk. Gas
and water are supplied throughout the liouse ; and the sanitary arrange-
ments were perfected a few years ago, at great expense, imdcr the <?'-
rection of one of the foremost sanitary engineers of America; steam
heat has been extended over the whole house, which has also had a
thorough renovation and its substantial features made yet more valu-
able. An orchestra plays during the season, both afternoon and eve-
ning, for the pleasure of the guests. The Proflle House has gained its "
great reputation under the proprietorship of Messrs. Taft & Greenleaf ,
and will continue under the same able supervision. .^
The Flume House, situated at the south entrance to the Notch, Ave
miles bel JW the Proflle House, has the sam^^ proprietorship as tiie latter.
It is under the popular management (f the Elliot Brothers, and since
its recent enlargement continues to enjoy a large and appreciative
patronage.
Not far from here, to the southwest, up among the mountains is
situate I-onesome Lake, the property and favorite resort of William
C. Prime, of the "New York Journal of Commerce," who has a log cabin
on its shores, and, with friends, here spends much time hunting and
Ashing.
M008ILAUKE.
"And west
MooBilaake's woods were seen,
With many a nameless slide-scarred crest
And pine-dark gorge between."
For many miles, while the traveller is approaching Warren Summit,
on the White Mountains Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, his
eyes will rest on a grand peak, on the rigtit, when going northwest, and
will willingly linger on it while descending into the valley of the Con-
necticut, attesting the correctness of Whittier's description.
An excursion to the summit of Moosilauke may easily be made, and
with very little detention in case the traveller desires to bestow his
time upon the more northern and eastern regions of the mountans.
Moosilauke is 4,811 feet in altitude, and the highest peak in New Ha'.np-
shire west of Mount Lafayette. It is situated chiefly in Benton, a iittle
distance across the line from Warren ; and the travelled approach is
from the station on the White Mountains Division of the Boston &
Lowell Railroad, in the latter town. The name of the mountain l^n
often been corrupted, on maps and in guide-books, into "Moose HiUock,"
and to m>'ny residents of the vicinity is, perhaps, best known as such ;
but its title is of Indian origin, and was derived from two Indian
words, — moosi, signifying "bald," and auJce, "place;" the letter I
having been inserted for euphony. The appropriateness of calling the
mountain a "bald place," instead of a "hillock" or a "place for moose,"
is readily seen. A carriage road extends to the summit, where a com-
fortable hotel — the Tip-Top House — will be found. The view is one
of the iinest Ut be had in the mountain region, and the glories of a sua-
9t
set and sunrise when witnessed from such an elevation surpass descrip-
tion.
The isolation of Moosilauke makes it the grandest of view points.
On its summit is the broad plateau from which the Indian name is de-
rived, and it is covered with mosses, alpine daisies and mountain cran-
berries.
The new Moosilauke House, erected on the site of the well and favor-
ably known Breezy Point House, is at the base of the mountain, midway
upon the stage road from Warren to the Summit. It is 1 ,700 feet above
|he sea level, and has accommodations for about 100 guests, supplying
the best of modern hotel appliances and service. There is a beautiful
maple grove near the house, and the whole region is famous for trout
fishing. The ascent from the Moosilauke House to the Summit is
easily made by buckboard, or oa foot, in about three hours.
The Moosilauke and Tip-Top Houses are under the business manage-
ment of Mr. John F. Thayer, to whom all correspondence should be
addressed at Breezy Point, N.H., while the domestic arrangements will
continue under the control of Miss S. F. Woodworth.
A regular stage line from Warren to the Moosilauke House and Tip-
Top House runs in connection with train leaving Boston at 8.30 A.M.
LITTLETON.
Pleasantly situated in the valley of the Amraonoosuc, on both sides
of the stream, and extending up the neighboring hillsides, is the town
of Littleton, one of the largest and most prosperous places in Northern
New Hampshire. Neat and picturesque cottages, busy streets and
stores, and several manufacturing establishments, which do not mar
the scene, are the characteristics of the place roost readily noticed by
the traveller. There is a large hotel— Thayer's White Mountain
House— in the village ; and another— the Oak Hill House— occupies
a commanding positi{)n on the heights. There are several boarding
houses f ■ the entertainment of summer guests. Pure air, pure water,
and all the other concomitants of a healthful abiding place, are found
here ; and a feature of special importance is its accessibility. All trains
on the White Mountains Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad,
between Boston and the mountains, or en route to or from New York
or Saratoga, stop here, and to good purpose; for the passenger traffic
here is quite important at all times, and especially so in the summer
season. The town covers au area of 3G,000 acres, and its population
at the time of the last census was 2,936. The chief industries of the
place are the manufacture of buckskin gloves, and the production
of photographic and stereoscopic views. Mr. B. W. Kilburn's estab-
lishment, which is devoted to this latter branch of business, is the
largest of its kind in the world.
One of the raost prominent buildings in Littleton is the High School
edifice, which is on the heights back of the town. The adjacent hills
afford noble views of the high mountains ; and there are many pleasant
94
05
drives and rambles in the vicinity. The rapids of the Connecticut
Rive , known as tlie Fifteen-Mile Falls, border the town for a stretch
of thirteen miles. Waterf ord, Vt. , is only Ave miles distant, and Beth-
lehem is about the same in the opposite direction. It Is also a fine
drive to Sugar Hill, through Franconia.
Since last season many improvements have been made at Thayer's,
among which may be mentioned the building of a boat house upon the
shore of the Ammonoosuc River, which is at the rear of the hotel.
Good ])oats can always be had.
FUANCONIA AND l.ISBON.
Franconia is situated just north of Franconia Notch, and in the val-
ley of Gale River, siy miles over a pleasant stage road from Littleton
and a little less from Bethlehem. The approach from the latter place
is over a spur of Mount Agassiz, and the descent into the deep bowl-
shaped valley supplies one of the most enjoyable drives In the whole
hill country. The nearness of Mount Lafayette, Haystack, or Mount
Garfield, and the other grand peaks of the Franconia Range, gives to
the views great boldness, —
" The great peaks seem bo near,
Burned clean of mist, so starkly bold and clear,
I almost pause the wind In the pines to hear,
The loose rock's fall, the steps of browsing doer ; "
while the foreground of meadow and forest adds rare picturesqueness
and beauty. The Profile House is only six miles distant, and the won-
ders of the Notch are just beyond. Gale River and Lafayotte Brook
afford excellent trout fishing, and other mountain e r o also ac-
cessible. The Bridal Veil Falls, seventy-six feet o,re upon
Copper Mine Brook, which flows down the west Mount
Kinsman. The Mount Kinsman Flume is on th f the
mountain. In the village are the buildings of the Fj. . Com-
pany, which began mining operations here in 1805. 'ii_ lon of
the mountain country is known to possess minerals of various kinds,
and in the neighboring town of Lisbon are several gold mines. There
are a number of very popular hotels and boarding houses in the tow n ;
and the Goodnow and Sunset Hill Houses, both large and fashionable
summer resorts, are a little distance across the line in Lisbon. The
latter is best reached from Lisbon station, ten miles below Littleton.
The easterly part of Lisbon, in which the above houses stand, forms
the western rim of the Franconia Valley, and overlooks its village as
well as includes in its view all the surrounding beauties. The new
Forest Hills House, which was opened in 1888 by Messrs. H. "W. Priest
and J. "W. Dudley, ha^ become a great favorite with the best people.
It occupies a commanding site on the summit of Pine Hill, on the
Bethlehem road, and only four miles from that place, and about
the same from the Profile House. From every side charming views
are obtained, including, in the sweep of the horizon from west to south
anrl past. Riifrar Hill, in T.ishnn, the wluilo nf t.lm "Prnn/i< i5p VniipY
M
or
village and mountains, and the Mount Washington range. Fifty acres
are devoted to lav.ns and groves. The he .1 is admirably ccnd cted,
nnd is a groat acquisition to the long list of White Momitaiii hotels.
Tlie quiet beauties and healthful atmosphere have led to the building
of severr.l private summer cottages: others are projected, and a
farm near the village has been laid out in streets and lots for thib
purpose. The Lafayette House in the easterly part of the valley, com-
bines some of the features of an old country tavern with the modern
mountain hovso, and is kept by the three Richardson brothers, who
were popular stage drivers in the old coaching days. Receiving guests
the year around, they have the first comers in the summer also, before
the larger houses are open. Just beyond, on the hillside, on the Notch
road, is the Profile House farm with its fine herds, hotbeds and gardens.
BETHLEHEM AND MAPLEWOOD.
Perhaps die most famous of the mountain towns is Bethlehem. Sit-
uated at a considerable elevation, commanding a wide prospect, and
renowned for the purity and healtlilulness of its air, it has become a
. -mmer resort for many hundreds of city denizens. Its hotels and
boirdi.-ig houses are large, and ; ,/ajs, in the season of summer visi-
tof;=:, filled with guests. With the Franccnia Range on the one hand
and the Presidential Range upon the other, the chief mountain outlc jk^
are grand in the extreme, while every principal point is easily acct al-
ble. A spur of the Profile & Franconia Notch Railroad ascends the hill
rM traverses the outskirts of the village from one end to the other.
From Mount Agassiz, a little distance southeast of the village, and also
from many lesser elevations, wide-sweeping ^ '".ws may be had. The
elevation of Mount Aj'assiz is 2,042 feet. V/ ith its rural charms unim-
paired, Bethlehem has of late years assumed the comforts and con-
veniences of a summer city, including a supply of pure water, new
springs having been added the past season, and the supply made ample
for domestic and public purposes, improved sewerage, and railway com-
munication with the outer world. From the station new walks have
been laid the past season to the main street and hotels. In 1803, Pres-
ident Dwight found the town to consist only of " log huts, recent,
few, poor, and planted on a soil singularly rough and rocky." He was.
however, lelighted with the magnificent view of the n;ountains. The
advantages of Bethlehem as a resort for invalids are universally recog-
nized. According to Professor F. W. Clarke, the Maplewood Hotel is
1,489 feet above the sea-level, and the Sinclair House 1,459 feet. A
writer in "The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal" (Dr. W. H.
Geddings) gives the result of an extended series of observations taken
with a view to ascertain the adaptability of the climate of Bethlehem
to the wants of invalids. Out of the sixty-two days in July and August,
1878, he shows that there Averc only three days in which invalids could
not with safety have remained out of doors during the whole or a
part of the day. Throughout the whole of forty-seven days they might
W
98
99
have remained out safely. In arriving at these results, Dr. (Jeddiims
took into consideration, not only rainy days, but also those Avheu there
was cool and windy weather. The exemption from hay-fever enjoyed
at Bethlehem has long l)een one of the main considerations, leading
thither hundreds of summer visitors. In tlie long list of hotels and
boarding houses, the largest are the Maplewood and the Sinclair Houses.
The Maplewood is a magnificent house of the largest class ; and its en-
terprising proprietor, Mr. Isaac S. Cruft, is yearly adding to its extent.
It IS managed by Messrs. Ainslie & McCJilvray. The hotel opens
about the ilrst of July, and accommodates over five hundred guests
The Maplewood Cottage opens June 1, and accommodates one hundred
persons. There are also a number of private cottages which are leased
to families for the season. The Maplewood has every desirable feature,
including gas, a copious supply of pure water from springs on the hills'
a post-office within the hotel, telegraph station, news stand, hair-dress-
ing rooms, bath rooms, l)illiard room, ])owling allevs, a large hall for
dancing and entertainments, a first-class table, extensive play-grounds,
and a large livery stable.
The Sinclair House is the oldest of the Bethlehem hotels. Witliin
the past few years it has undergone extensive alterations and exten-
sions. Its proprietors, Messrs. Durgin & Fox, have a high reputation
as landlords; and among tlie guests of the house are many who have
made the Sinclair their summer a])ode year after year. 'J'he drainage
rnd other sanitary provisions are of the most approved character, and
all the appointments of the house are flrst-cIass. A well-appointed
livery stable supplies all requisite facilities for drives and horsebaelv
excursions, and the opportunities for pleasant rambles are unlimited
Within the house are telegraph office, news stand, billiard rooms, bath-
ing rooms, etv.., and adjacent to the hotel are ample play-grounds for
children, etc. The Sinclair accommodates three hundred and fifty
guests.
THE TWIN MOUNT.VIX, FAHYAN, MOUNT PLEASANT, AND CUAWFOUD
HOUSES.
TJiere are no better conducted hotels in America than Ihe eliief pul)-
lic houses at the White Mountains; and prominent among tlie lea.ling
establishments are the chain of splendid hostelries under the managi-
nieiit and conductorship of Messrs. Barron, Merrill & Barron. As tlie
traveller advances up the valley of the Amnionoosuc, towards Mount
Washington or the Crawford Notch, he comes first uijon tl>,. Twin
Mountain House. This hotel takes its name from two jirominent ])eaks
of the Franconia Rjiiige. It is situated upon a high bluff overlooking
the Amnionoosuc River and a l)roa(l panonima of iiiounfains. The
Franconla liange is seen upon one liand, and the Mount Washington,
or Presidential Range, upon the other. The Twin Mountain House has
long been known as a quiet and secluded mountain retreat; and many
persons come hither annually to vanciuish that aimoylng summer malady,

^Hie Fabyan House is situated at the great railway junction point of
the mountains, and is one of the best known of all the public houses of
the region. Fully nine-tenths of all the mountain tourists bring up
eventually at Fabyan's, for all the different routes lead thither ^'he
White Mountains Division of the Boston & Lowell and the Portland &

The Mount Pleasant House, which has been greatly enlarged within
a few years past, is situated a short distance from Fabyan's, with" a
glorious outlook upon the grand peaks of the Presidc.itial Range.
Mount Pleasant, from which the hotel takes its name, rises in majestic
form at the right; while the taller Mount Washington is in front
flanked by Monroe and Franklin on one side, and Clay, Jefferson and
Adams on the other. The railroad station is just in front of tie
house, and from the front piazzas and windows the Mount Washington
cars can be p anily seen on their winding way up the mountain side
and frequently into the clouds. The quietness, with the railway con-
veniences, the attractions of the grove on the hillside in the rear, and
he substantial comforts of this house eonibine to recommend it to a
arge class of people. It is under the personal supervision of Mr
(scar G. Baijon, and this is a suflltlent guaranty that it takes high
rank among its fashionable neighI)ors.
The Cmwford House has a magnificent location upon a little plateau
3US north of the Gate of Crawford Notch. In front of the hou' e is a
picturesque little lake, the source of the Saco River; and, just bey oil
«.e Elephant's Head guards the entrance to the narrow pass Mouni

out a thousun.l feet or more below the beholder, Mounts Webster and
Willey forming its boundaries. The Crawford House is under the per-
sonal managemenc of Mr. C. H. Merrill, one of its proprietors, and a
gentleman who has won the esteem and respect of the travelling public
to an unusual degree. Mr. Merrill brings to his important task a Ion-
experience as a hotel manager; and the Crawford, under his guidance,
has won wide fame.
MOUNT WASHINGTON.
An ascent to the top of the highest mountain peak is as easily accom-
plished as any other railway journey, and the visitor is compelled to
forego none of the comforts or luxuries provided in the lower world
At this remarkai,]e elevation he finds a commodious hotel, to the very
door of which, and through the clouds it may be, he is transported in
a railway car. Formerly the clhubing of Mount Washington was at-
tended by great hardship and fatigue, and was performed only by per-
sons of tested strength and endurance. The crown of New England
lifts its bare, weather-beaten summit 0,293 feet above the level of the
sea. The neighboring mountains are overlooked ; and the vision ex-
tends far across New Hampshire to the hilltops of Maine, Vermont
Massachusetts, Canada, and, under favorable atmospheric conditions'
to the summits of New York, and to the far away ocean. The encir-
cling crests, peaks and ridges lie lik.^ billows upon a tempestuous sea
Here and there dark, shadowy gulfs are seen, while far-distant vilhi-es
sparkle in the sun. The chief river-courses are readily marked, and,
on a clear day, a fair view may be had, between the mountains, of Lake
Winnipesaukee, justifying indeed the Red men's conceit that it was a
" Smile of the Great Spirit;" and the beholder studies geography on a
grand and comprehensive scale.
The Mount Washington Railway is necessarily constructed upon a
difterent plan from ordinary steam roads. A grade of no less than
1 ,980 feet to the mile is actually overcome. Engine and car travel upon
a middle ratchet-rail in which cog-wheels run. Notwithstanding this
remarkable steepness, the passenger enjoys absolute safety, through a
number of ingenious devices. Sliould a breakage occur, the train would
be brought to a full stop. Atmospheric brakes are so arranged that a
car may be made to descend at a snail's pace, entirely disconnected from
the locomotive. In ascending, the- car is pushed ahead of the engine ;
and there are safety devices which prevent the train from slipping back a
single inch. The railvay is the invention of Mr. Sylvester Marsh, and
has been improved in its practical workings very greatly by Mr. Waltfr
Aiken, its elHcient manager. Many thousands "of i^vLcns are carried
over the road annually, but not a single passenger has ever been injured.
Mt. Washington is 387 feet higher than tlie Rigi-Knlm, the famous Swiss
mountain, up the slopes of wliich two similar roads have been built.

The Mount Washington Summit House (0. G. Barron, manager,) is
a commodious and admirably arranged liotel, well calculated to tempt
the visitor to remain over night, and thus witness a sunset and a sun-
rise,— spectacles which are often gorgeous beyond description. Fires
are a daily necessity; and, to insure comfort to visitors, the sleepin-
rooms are heated by steam. The dining-room, office and narlor arc
large apartments; and the sleeping-rooms, on the floors above, are
ninety-four in number. Near the hotel is an ol)servatory erected by
Mr. Aiken, and upon the north-western verge of the little plateau is
the observing station of the United States Signal Service. The hotel
is under the management of the Messrs. Barron, Merrill & Barron,
which fully guarantees the comfort of its patrons.
Strangers should use caution in exploring the region about Mount
Washington, and not venture far from the beaten paths, unless accom-
panied by a guide. Persons have perished of exposure and exhaustion
while lost and bewildered in the clouds and storms about the summit.
JEFFERSON.
This town is in some sense a rival to Bethlehem. It is similarly sit-
uated upon an elevation ; and the pure air and general healthf ulness
there enjoyed have given it great favor as a resort for invalids and
pleasure seekers. Sufferers from hay-fever and catarrhal complaints
here find instantaneous relief. The chief village, Jeflferson Hill, is
mainly a long line of summer hotels. The outlook upon the Presi-
dential Range, with Mounts Adams { nd Jefferson in the near front, is
extremely grand. Starr King declares "Jefferson Hill may, without
exaggeration, be called the uUima Thule of grandeur in an artist's pil-
grimage among the New Hampshire mountains ; for at no other point
can he see the White Hills themselves in such array and force. •' Mount
Pliny is the ancient name for the long wooded range in the northeast
part of the town; and the culminating part of the range was, in 18G1,
named Mount Starr King, in honor of the author of "The White Hills."
It is on the high slopes of this mountain that the village is situated.
In the east part of the town is another group of boarding houses and
farms, to which the post-office designation of Jefferson Highlands and
Meadows has been given. There are two ponds in the town; one of
which, Cherry Pond, is upon the line of the railroad, while the other,
the Pond of Safety, is high up among the mountain ridges, 2,000 feet
above the sea level. The former is the chief source of John's River;
and the latter, of the Upper Amraonoosuc. Israel's River traverses
Jefferson from the southeast to the northwest. The two rivers, John's
and Israel's, derived their names from two brothers, John and Israel
Glines, who hunted beaver and other animals along the streams before
there were any other white settlers in this region. The opening of the
Whitefleld & Jefferson Railroad has rendered Jefferson easy of access •
and every year brings fresh accessions to the ranks of those who unite
in declaring, with Starr King, that this resort is without a peer; for
lOG
from whatever point in the town one loolcs out he sees grand mountain
forms, while towering above them all in his grandeur is Mount "Wash-
ington, the buildings on which are in plain sight. The drive from
Lancaster to and through Jefferson Street cannot be surpassed, and is
particularly recommended.

LANCASTER.
Visitors to the White Mountains who penetrate the region no farther
than the great hotels which form the most noted places of resort gen
erally form erroneous ideas regarding the section of the State 'ivinsr
north of the chief group of hills. Some of the best farming country
and several of the prettiest towns in th. Granite State, are there to be
found. One of the most beautiful places , and at the same time one of the
most accessil)le, is Lancaster, on the main line of the White Mountains
Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, seventeen miles north of
107
Wing Road. It occupies the valley of the Connecticut Hirer, here
quite elevated and broad, is the shire town of C .os County, and con-
tains the offices and public buildings pertaining to a county-seat. The
situation IS very healthful, and the climate in summer is mild and de-
lightful. Fine views are had of the neighboring mountains, and good
roads lead m all directions, especially that towards Jefferson Street.
Mount Prospect, an isolated hill three miles from the village, on which
IS an excellent hotel, commands a royal view which no tourist should
lau to see. It is easily accessible from Lancaster or Jeff-rson.
Ihe new and elegant Lancaster House forms a handsome ornament
to this charming town. It is supplied with steam heat, gas, electric
bells, and other modern hotel appliances, and is prepared to take the
best possible care of its summer guests. Lancaster is likely to become
I'r 11 ff '"^'* ^^^*^^«d P'^^^*^« «f resort in Northern New Hampshire,
now that the town has a large summer hotel.
COLEBROOK.
This village is reached via the White Mountains Division to Groveton
Junction, thence to North Stratford by Grand Trunk Railway, where
stages are taken tliirteen miles to Colebrook. It is situated on the
eastern side of the Connecticut River, and the Mohawk River and
Beaver Brook run through the village. The village is abundantly sup-
plied with pure spring water. Directly opposite Colebrook, on the
Vermont side of the river, is Mount Monadnock, from the summit of
which there is a magnificent view ; while at the foot of the mountain
one mile from the village. Is a mineral spring which is strongly im-
pregnated witli sulphur and iron. There are many beautiful dSves in
Co ebrook and vicinity, among which may be mentioned a drive of ten
miles to DixvUle Notch. Crossing the Connecticut into Vermont, and
.^oing up the river eight miles, brings us to Canaan Village, and one

HOW TO MAKK THE TOUR OF THE MOUXTAIN8.
There can be nothing more delightful in the way of summer travel
^.nan a tour embracing the chief pon.ts of interest in the Whit. Moun
tan.s. The White Mountains Division of the Boston & Lowel Kanro?d
now penetrates to every part of the region; and, as it is the graud
highway of approach, the tourist will naturally turn his atCention to t
m selecting his route. Making Boston the starting point, the touris
proceeds to the Weirs, and should there diverge from the raihvay f o'
an excursion upon Lake Winnipcsaukee, with visits to Centre Harbor
and Wolf boro'. Considerable time may also be passed at the Wets

The advantages of this kind of summering are many. The unhealthy
excitements of hotel life, with rich food, promiscuous companionship
late hours and feverish amusements, are avoided; while abundance of
plain, homely fare, plenty of fresh milk, eggs and berries, seasonable
hours and healthy diversions are secured. In many instances, large
berry pastures, lily and flsh ponds and streams are at hand; the latter
also supplying good bathing places. Hundreds of such localities are
within reach by the Boston & Lowell Railroad. Some of the particu-
larly favorable places are found on the Keene Branch of the Southern
Division, on the Peterboro' & Hillsboro' Branch, and the Concord
& Claremont Branch of the Northern Division, to say nothing of
the many better known localities on the main line of this latter
division and on the White Mountains Division. Peterboro', Hancock
Hillsboro', Henniker, Bennington, Dublin (reached from Harrisville) '
Bradford, Sunapee Lake region, Newport and Claremont are particlarly
desirable localities; while many places a little off the railroad line
such as Nelson and Stoddard (reached from Harrisville), New Lond-n
(reached from Potter Place), Newbury, Canaan, Potter Place or
Andover and Sunapee, are places of special attractions.
The farm-house boarding places are particularly desirable for families
of children, where the successive stages of farm work supplies a con-
stant source of interest and pleasure to the young people, including
horse-back and hay-cart rides,- long to be remembered with the fra-
grance of freshly mown hay.
" Now the air
Is rich in fragrance I fragrance exquisite I
Of new-mown hay, of wild thyme, dewy wash'd,
And gales ambrosial come with cooling breath,"'
while the musical sounds, from the tinkling cow-bells as
" The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea,"
to the ring of the whetted scythe, or the creak of the children's swing
hung from tlie branch of some huge elm, will all combine to store the
"lemoiT with delight. Whittier has told the story in exquisite sweet-
" The bleat of shoep along the hill we heard,
The bucket plashing in the cool, sweet well,
The pasturc-bars that clattered as they fell ;
Dogs barked, f>wls fluttered, cattle lowed ;'the gate
Of the barn-yard creaked beiieath the nu>iry woi^ht
Of sun.brown children, listening, while they swung,
The welcome sound of supper-call to hear;
And down the shadowy lane, i!i tinklings clear,
The pastoral curfew of the cow-bell rung."
