SUMMER HOMES 
 
 Among- the Green Hills of Vermont^ Islands and Shores of 
 
 Lake Champlam, Adirondacks and Canada, Rest and 
 
 Recreation. Healthful Climate. Charming Scenery. 
 
 T' 
 
 'he Central Vermont 
 Railway Company 
 publishes this little pam- 
 phlet each season in order 
 to give information to 
 Summer Excursionists and 
 others, who desire up-to- 
 date information in regard 
 ~ ~ to the many families who 
 
 entertain city people at their hospitable homes during the sum- 
 mer months; also to give full information concerning summer 
 hotels among the Green Hills and on the shores and islands of 
 Lake Champlain and the numerous other charming lakes in 
 Vermont, located on and adjacent to the Central Vermont 
 Railway. Vermont and Lake Champlain are unsurpassed by 
 any locality in the Union for scenic beauty and healthfulness. 
 
 Family Homes in the Country for Entertainment 
 of Summer Boarders. 
 
 The selected list, given elsewhere, of names of families 
 who advertise for city boarders is comprised almost entirely of 
 those who have taken city people for the past twelve years; 
 their summer boarders returning year after year, causing an 
 enlargement of house capacity and the building of new cottages. 
 
 A large number of illustrations of the homes for city guests 
 are shown throughout the book. The owners are all well-to-do 
 people, own their own farms and take city boarders more for the

 enjoyment of it than for 
 the revenue they receive 
 out of it. 
 
 The homes of these 
 Vermont people are the 
 homes of a forceful^ 
 wide awake and edu- 
 cated population, that 
 read the daily New York 
 and Boston papers, take 
 the magazines, and buy 
 the best books of the 
 day. For those desir- 
 ing a quiet country va- 
 cation, the selection of- 
 fered them in this book 
 can not be excelled. 
 These homes are de- 
 lightful places for child- 
 ren, where they can 
 play, see the poultry, 
 cattle, and ride the old horse if desired. All the places adver- 
 tised have plenty of milk, cream, butter and eggs. The coun- 
 try is richly productive and the summer fare of fruit, vegetables, 
 eggs and poultry is perfect. 
 
 With the comfort and attractions offered at prices from 
 $5.00 per week and upwards, no other State equals Vermont. 
 At many places free use of the horses and carriages, also boats 
 is allowed. A vacation spent at one of these comfortable Ver- 
 mont Homes, located on a mountain side, or in a beautiful 
 valley among the Green 
 Hills, or on the shores 
 of one of her many charm- 
 ing rivers or lakes will 
 be a fulfillment of your 
 every desire as to an 
 ideal summer outing in the 
 country.

 In considering the claims of any particular locality as a 
 place to spend your vacation, matters of most importance are 
 healthfulness, natural attractions, quality of entertainment af- 
 forded and expense. Vermont, Lake Champlain and the 
 Adirondacks offer you more natural attractions than any other 
 section in the east. This is the enthusiastic verdict of thousands 
 from all parts of the country, who, in increasing numbers each 
 year, testify to the hospitality and attractions of this region.

 With their swelling breasts of verdure, rivers and lakes 
 abounding with charming views, excellent fishing and hunting,

 THE MISSISQUQI VALLEY. 
 
 I HE extreme northwest portion of the 
 * main land of Vermont is occupied by 
 Franklin Comity. In the fertility of its 
 soil, the variety and quality of its produc- 
 tions, and the thrift and intelli- 
 gence of its inhabitants, it is 
 equaled by few, and surpassed by 
 none of the other counties. Its 
 surface is varied enough to 
 form a most pleasing land- 
 \ scape, yet contains little waste 
 ' land. The eastern part of 
 ,, the territory is broken and 
 rocky, extending up on the 
 western range of the Green 
 ^Mountains, while the western part is comparatively level, and 
 contains some of the finest farming lands to be found in New 
 England. The county is especially noted for its fine cattle, 
 horses and sheep, and for its large production of butter and 
 cheese. Probably, in the last respect, no portion of the United 
 States has a more enviable and more firmly established reputa- 
 tion than this county. In all the leading markets, Franklin 
 County butter stands easily in the lead, the scrus parcil, a 
 little more " gilt edge " than any of its competitors. 
 
 Numerous streams are distribtited over the surface of this 
 county, while the Missisquoi and Lamoille rivers form the prin- 
 cipal water courses of the territory. There are several inland 
 lakes, or ponds, of which Franklin pond, in Franklin, is the 
 largest. These bodies of water with Lake Champlain on the 
 west, give a pleasing variety to the scenery, and afiford most in- 
 viting and ample opportunity for fishing. In all directions, as 
 one travels through this county, there can be seen, pleasantly 
 situated, commodious and attractive farm houses, with their

 neat outbuildings, in the midst of green meadows, and well- 
 tilled fields. A stay in one of these homes is a pleasure, indeed, 
 and when once experienced leaves a longing for a repetition. 
 Indeed, the whole 
 county possessing 
 wonderfully pleas- 
 ing scenery in it- 
 self, surrounded by 
 the most charming 
 beauties of nature, 
 and containing su- 
 perior advantages 
 and facilities for 
 water and railway 
 transportation, is, 
 all in all, a most 
 desirable home for 
 every true seeker of genuine rest and recreation. 
 
 The Missisquoi Valley possesses many attractions for the 
 sportsman. The country lying along the banks of the Missis- 
 quoi river (an Indian name signifying an abundance of water 
 fowl) is charmingly pastoral. As intimated by the name, hunt- 
 ing and fishing are excellent. The invalid, as well as the 
 pleasure seeker, appreciates this region, containing many min- 
 eral springs of tested medicinal value. 
 
 This pretty and thriving little village with the 
 
 RICH FORD Missisquoi river in its midst, is situated on the 
 
 Vermont! lines of the Central and Canadian Pacific, within 
 
 eight hours' ride of Boston and tliree of Montreal, 
 
 with four or five trains daily to either point. This prosper- 
 
 /^ _ ous town stretches

 a town noted for the thrift of its people and the 
 products of its fine grazing farms. The surface of 
 the township is broken into gentle swells and hills 
 rising from the beds of numerous streams, though 
 never so abruptly as to hinder the cultivation of the soil. The 
 rich alluvial tracts along the rivers and streams are especially 
 productive, and in these waters there is abundant attraction for 
 the votary of the rod and line.

 From East Berkshire, the railroad station, there are stage

 country. In surface, the town is considerably diversified^ by 
 mountain, hill and dell, having a very picturesque contour, the 
 eastern portion of the town lying entirely upon a spur of the 
 Green Mountains. Portions of the town contain large tracts of 
 maple forest from which many thousand pounds of sugar are 
 manufactured each year. From this station there are easy 'stage 
 connections with the various villages about. The next station 
 reached is that of South Franklin the railroad station for the

 This town borders on the Province of Quebec, and 
 
 is one of the most productive in the county. The 
 
 surface is uneven, though not abrupt, the soil is 
 
 mostly gravelly loam, generally good, and finely 
 
 adapted to grazing, so that many of the inhabitants are engaged 
 
 in dairying and raising grade cattle. Franklin pond, a small 
 
 lake lying near the center of the town, is a lovely sheet of 
 
 water, having a width of about

 Of St. Albans, Henry Ward Beecher, in his " Norwood" wrote

 the chief attrac- 
 tions of St. Albans 
 are the Electric car 
 rides to Swanton, 
 and St. Albans Bay 
 on Lake Cham- 
 plain, also charm- 
 ing drives through 
 the rich surround- 
 ing country in all directions. One of the most delightful of 
 these is to St. Albans Bay; the broad highway lying in the 
 midst of one of the most fertile regions in the State, generally 
 sloping down to the silver lake dotted with white winged boats 
 and emerald isles. Here abundant facilities for fishing may be 
 found, and piscatorial sport at this point, especially angling for 
 bass and pike, is a matter of fame among those who love the 
 rod and reel, the locality being known to them as the Great 
 Back Bay. 
 
 The distance to St. Albans Bay, an arm of the lake, is 
 about two and one-half miles from St. Albans. The new Elec- 
 tric Street Railway extends to this point, where delightful trips 
 may be taken among the beautiful north islands by excursion 
 steamers. Those enjoying fishing for the gamey black bass and 
 and other Lake Champlain fish can enjoy themselves in the

 stretch of fertile and well 
 tilled farms, sloping down 
 toward the beautiful ex 
 pause of Lake Champlain, 
 thickly studed with islands, 
 and beyond it the majestic 
 sweep of the Adirondacks. 
 After a ride of a few min- 
 utes, we reach Georgia

 are stage connections with 
 
 Fairfax, a well-to-do town with a variety of beautiful scenery, 
 numberless hills and streams, along which are many retreats 
 alluring to the fisherman and pleasure seeker. Just after leav- 
 ing Georgia Station, southward bound, we cross the Lamoille 
 on a bridge which spans the river at a giddy height. Looking 
 from this bridge, to the east, the traveller sees a beautiful coun- 
 try, watered by the Lamoille, and to the west, some attractive 
 intervale farms which are rarely equaled in beauty and fertility. 
 A few minutes later the car door opens and it is announced that 
 we have reached

 a prosperous village situated on the Lamoille 
 MILTON River. The great falls of the Lamoille are within 
 
 VERMONT, an easy walk from the railway, and are worthy of 
 a visit. In running fifty rods, the river falls about 
 one hundred and fifty feet. " Near the middle of the cataract 
 is a small island upon each side of which the water rushes down 
 with the greatest violence, rebounding from rock to rock, toss- 
 ing its spray into the air, and stunning the astonished spectator 
 
 by its successive con- 
 cussions and inces- 
 sant noise." Here are 
 located the fine new 
 mills, owned by the 
 International Paper 
 Co., of New York, 
 for the manufacture 
 of wood pulp. The 
 immense steel pen- 
 stock, eleven feet in 
 diameter, the long 
 cable elevator, and 
 the four large turbine 
 water wheels, are ob- 
 jects of interest to 
 the visitor. Two hills in the oppo- 
 site parts of the town, rising 
 abruptly from a comparatively 
 level country, are about nine hun- 
 dred feet high, and give a marked and pleasing feature to the 
 landscape. The surface of the town is diversified, affording 
 many fine views of Lake Cham plain and the Adirondacks, and 
 is under a high state of cultivation, and its many excellent dairy 
 farms are very productive. A drive of about nine miles west 
 ward from the railroad station over a fine road and through 
 most charming scenery brings one to Camp Watson, upon the 
 shore of Lake Champlain.

 a place which one can reach or leave by rail at

 The Lamoille valley has here rather an unique situation, 
 shut off on the east by the western spur of the Green Moun-

 Many homes of citizens welcome

 has lately been completed, which promises to be one of the most 
 noted drives in all New England. 
 
 Returning to Essex Junction, we see on the right Fort 
 Ethan Allen, the recently established U. S. Military Post. Soon 
 after passing this we ride over the twin bridges across Winooski 
 gorge, a inost wildly picturesque spot. The river is about 
 seventeen rods wide, the sheer walls rising one hundred feet on 
 either bank, and worn into weird forms 
 by water and ice. Winooski Falls are 
 much visited by tourists, though some- 
 what disfigured by "improvements" in 
 the interests of the extensive manufac-

 tremendous water power. After cross-

 good farms and substantial buildings. Then it breaks off into 
 the mountain, and winds about by easy grades to the summit. 
 The ascent can be made in any vehicle with the greatest com- 
 fort. The way is thickly wooded with trees indigenous to Ver- 
 mont. Shade is therefore abundant, and the sun's rays are 
 little felt.

 other features stretch away in the distance, massive, solemn and 
 grand. 
 
 The highest point, the Chin, is 4,359 feet above sea level, 
 and 3,670 feet above Stowe village, the loftiest peak of Vermont's 
 Green Mountains. It gathers around its base all the eternal 
 solitudes of nature. In the deep forests, no sound is to be 
 heard save the whir of the partridge, the tread of a bear, or the 
 crash of a mountain deer as he leaps from crag to gorge. The 
 grim solitude of the heights above seems to communicate itself 
 to the heights below.

 the geographical center of Ver-

 ride of New York. It is the focus of three converging branches 
 of railway, by all of which, places of great natural beauty and 
 interest may be reached. Montpelier is the natural stopping 
 place between the Lakes of George and Champlain and the 
 White Mountains. 
 
 Within easy riding distance by carriage from Montpelier, 
 in the town of Berlin is Mirror Lake, a lovely little sheet of 
 water two and a half miles long by one-half mile in width. 
 Lying back from its shores are fine farms in high state of culti- 
 vation ; numerous cottages are scattered along its banks. Cedar 
 groves and pleasure grounds are conveniently near, affording 
 excellent facilities for tent-life and bivouac. There are skiffs,

 and morally clean. It is beautifully shaded, making the central 
 street an elegant boulevard of charming vistas. The hills on 
 every side always seem to be changing their color effects and 
 perspective. From these hills extensive stretches of scenery in 
 the Connecticut valley open up. Few other places in the land 
 combine such a variety of peculiar interests and associations as

 A writer in Outing thus describes the

 " If one can imagine himself on the

 surrounded on all side by the swelling 
 forms of storm vexed billows, and if 
 these forms could be suddenly con- 
 gealed, or rendered motionless, he would 
 have an adequate conception of the scene upon which our trio 
 admiringly gazed. Away off to the north, the range, upon one 
 of the spurs of which we stood, trended away in ever changing 
 and varied shapes, until the more distant peaks melted tenderly 
 into the cool gray of the clouds, and it became a matter of 
 discussion which was vapor and which was solid earth. To the 
 east, the undulations were less abrupt, but the eye wandered 
 over the contour of the billowy ranges, resting at last upon 
 
 the far distant horizon, _^

 White Mountains cut 
 the sky line and stood

 the

 tropolis of the Dominion 
 of Canada, is situated on 
 the south shore of an 
 island bearing the same 
 name, and at the base 
 of a beautiful eminence 
 known as Mount Royal. 
 The site of the city was 
 first visited by Jacques 
 Cartier in 1535. Cham- 
 plain also visited it in 
 161 1, but the first set- 
 tlement was not formed 
 until 1642, by M. de 
 
 Maisonneuve. When Canada was conquered by the British in 
 1759, Montreal had a population of 4,000 souls. 
 
 Its present population is 300,000. The city is laid in the 
 form of a parallelogram. It is built mostly of a grayish lime- 
 stone from adjacent quarries, and with its handsome spires, 
 glittering tin roofs, and the picturesque vales that stud its lofty 
 background is seen to a great advantage from the river. The 
 old part of Montreal near the river has narrow, incommodious 
 streets, but the new growth of the city toward Mount Royal has 
 been liberally laid out with wide, cheerful thoroughfares. The 
 architecture here is very fine. 
 
 Among places of interest may be mentioned the Parish 
 Church of Notre Dame. The dimensions of this vast Norman 
 edifice are 241 feet in length and 135 feet in width. Two main 
 towers in front rise 220 feet, the western tower containing a peal 
 of bells, one of which weighs upwards of 29,000 pounds and is 
 the largest bell in Canada. The seating capacity of the church

 Church Cathedral on St, Catherine Street is undoubtedly the 
 finest specimen of Gothic architecture in Canada. The Bank 
 of Montreal, Post Office. City Hall, Bonsecour Market, Windsor 
 Hotel, Church of Gesu, and many other churches, McGill Col-

 The old Victoria Bridge, for many years one of 
 the marvels of the nineteenth century, and one of 
 the great attractions to tourists visiting Montreal, 
 which cost $6,300,000, was taken down at an enor- 
 mous expense, and has been replaced with a new steel double 
 track truss bridge; there is also a track for electric cars, a foot- 
 path, and a roadway for teams. The bridge is known as the 
 New Victoria Jubilee Bridge. It is about one and one-half 
 miles in length and there is not another bridge in Canada equal 
 to it.

 nearly three miles in length, and varying, but everwhere of 
 forbidding height and thickness, with projecting bastions and 
 frowning cannon, encloses the better part of the Upper Town,

 pregnable fortress. It covers an enclosed area of forty acres, 
 and is some 340 feet above the river level. The zigzag passage 
 through which you enter the fortress, between high and massive 
 granite walls, is swept at every turn by formidable batteries of 
 heavy guns. On the forbidding river walls, and at each angle 
 or possible commanding point, guns of heavy calibre sweep 
 every avenue of approach by river. Ditches, breastworks and 
 frowning batteries command the approaches by land from the 
 famed "Plains of Abraham." The percipitous bluffs, rising al- 
 most perpendicular from the river 340 feet, present a natural 
 barrier which may be swept with murderous fire, and the cov-

 HE Adirondacks have sprung into 
 sudden and universal fame and 
 favoritism. The region has all the 
 novelty of a primeval land, diversified 
 by every variety of landscape and un- 
 searched solitudes; and has the fresh- 
 ness and rare novelty of guides who 
 alone know the secret wealth of this 
 new paradise. The atmosphere is re- 
 markably pure and free from malarious 
 poisons and from chilling damps, so that 
 sudden colds and tormenting fever heats 
 are scarcely known. At present, the 
 Adirondacks may boast of its primeval charms; but the region 
 will, doubtless, be materially altered in this respect e'er long, as 
 visitors to this region are annually numbered by thousands. 
 
 In the valleys between the mountains lie many beautiful 
 lakes and ponds, more than one thousand in number. The gen- 
 eral level of these lakes is about 1,500 feet above the sea, but 
 Avalanche Lake, the highest of them, has nearly twice that 
 elevation. Some of them are twenty miles in length, while 
 others cover only a few acres. "Steep, densely wooded mount- 
 ains," says a writer in Picturesque America, describing the lakes 
 "Rise from their margins; beautiful bays indent their borders, 
 and leafy points jut out; spring brooks trickle in, while shallows 
 are fringed with water grasses and flowering plants, and covered 
 sometimes with acres of white and yellow water lillies. The 
 lakes are all lovely and romantic in everything except their 
 names; and the scenery they offer in combination with the 
 towering mountains and the old and savage forests, is not sur- 
 passed on earth. In natural features, it greatly resembles 
 Switzerland and the Scottish Highlands, as they must have been

 rinth of lakes is connected by a very intricate system of rivers, 
 rivulets and brooks.

 Little over a mile from the village is Lower Saranac Lake, 
 which is six miles long, and in places nearly two miles wide. 
 On its shores are several large hotels, and this may be said to 
 be one of the most popular pleasure resorts in the forest. The 
 lake contains between 40 and 50 small islands, and was called 
 by the Indians "Lake of the Clustered Stars." Nine miles east 
 from Saranac Lake is the noted Lake Placid.

 wealthy visitors of this section. St. Regis Mountain, a short 
 distance from Paul Smith's Hotel, is a point of attraction, a 
 grand view being had from its summit. The forest may be ex- 
 plored for miles from here, and delightful excursions may be 
 taken daily through the numerous streams.

 HAT Champlain is one of the most 
 beautiful lakes in the world is a 
 statement that goes unchallenged. It has 
 furnished inspiration for the poet, the 
 novelist and the historian; and its charms 
 have long been celebrated in song and 
 story, and yet the half has not been told. 
 It is here that the delight of the traveler, 
 of the rest and pleasure seeker, and of the 
 lover of nature is supreme, both in antici- 
 pation and realization. The lake almost 
 completely bounds by its waters, one entire 
 county of Vermont, comprising the towns 
 of Alburgh, Isle La Motte, North Hero, 
 Grand Isle and South Hero. This is the 
 smallest county in the State, but by no 
 means is it the least in importance, 
 is a tongue of land projecting into the lake from 
 ALBURGH th^ Province of Quebec. With this exception the 
 VERMONT. county is composed of islands, among them being 
 Isle La Motte and North Hero, corresponding 
 each to the town of the same name; South Hero which com- 
 prises the two towns of Grand Isle and South Hero, and is the 
 largest island in the lake, and a number of small islands which 
 usually belong to the towns nearest to which they lie. The 
 towns are very much alike in their main characteristics, and a 
 description of one would apply, in general, to the others. 
 Though geologically these islands take us back to the time when 
 "the earth was without form, and void," they now present to 
 the eye as perfect a scene of landscape beauty, of inviting

 groves, of rich and cultivated fields, and of neat country homes 
 as can be found anywhere. A look into these homes would 
 reveal the presence of industry, prosperity and taste, and in 
 any one of them the wayfarer or invited guest would find him- 
 self among people of marked intelligence and unbounded hos- 
 pitality. 
 
 The soil through the country is exceptionally good and pro-

 probably unsurpassed in the United States; and the roads, 
 well, — they are simply a marvel to the newcomer — while the 
 old resident enjoys them, as a matter of course, pities his neigh- 
 bor toiling along through the mud and sand, and leisurely jogs 
 along at 2:40 gait. The foundation of these roads was laid 
 sometime ago, it is thought in the Lower Silurian Age, and the 
 material that has gathered since has been of the best for road- 
 making. Repairs are made usually by putting on the road bed 
 a liberal coating of the beautiful fine gravel found in abundance

 upon the shores. A drive through this country is a matter of 
 renown and is taken by hundreds every year. 
 
 For miles the highway is along or near the shore, and the 
 succession of beautiful bays, bluff points, bold cliffs and gently 
 sloping beaches, together with the ever- varying scene of distant 
 hills and mountains, forms a picture beyond the skill of brush 
 to paint or tale to tell. The islands are connected with each 
 other and with the main land by bridges, so built that, except 
 in some cases for the "draws," one might fancy them made by 
 the same hand that formed the islands themselves. At different 
 points are mineral springs of much fame and worth. In 
 
 is the celebrated Iodine Spring, the water of which 
 HERo"^ has proved so beneficial to hundreds in the past. 
 
 VERMONT. Its curative qualities are constantly becoming bet- 
 ter known and more highly valued. This spring 
 is located in one of the most beautiful regions of all New Eng- 
 land; the drives are unsurpassed, the fishing the best, the air 
 pure and cool, and the scenery magnificent. This is sure to 
 become one of the most popular resorts in the Champlain Val- 
 ley. This island has communication every week-day by rail 
 and boat with Burlington, and also with Maquam. A common 
 and exceedingly satisfactory way to reach the islands is to drive 
 from Milton station, or from Burlington by rail. Either route 
 is delightful in the extreme, but via Milton you get the drive 
 across the famous "Sand Bar Bridge," which is a mile in length 
 and crosses the lake at a most charming point. For a mile be- 
 fore reaching the bridge, the drive is over what is known as the 
 " Whittemore Road. " This road is flanked for the entire dis- 
 tance on either side by a thicket of trees extending through 
 lowlands which are covered with a luxuriant growth of vegeta- 
 tion, and which are becoming celebrated hunting grounds. 
 
 The country, as a whole, is a "rich find" for the geologist, 
 and the seacher for fossils will be, especially at the quarries of 
 Isle La Motte and at Providence Island, amply rewarded for 
 his toil. In the summer, the shores of these islands are thickly 
 dotted with camps, and every season cottages are built in de- 
 sirable points by men of wealth from cities. Already is being 
 rapidly fulfilled a prediction recently made, that in a few years

 not an available spot on the shore would be left unoccupied. 
 One who has spent one summer on these islands needs no invi- 
 tation to come again. All the islands are easily reached by 
 steamer or by rail. Lake Champlain is a paradise for those 
 who long to fish, hunt, tramp and camp. 
 
 Yachting has become an important feature on the lake, with 
 Burlington as its center. The Lake Champlain Yacht Club, 
 with headquarters at Burlington, includes in its membership 
 some of the most prominent men in Vermont, as well as many 
 
 . \mrEL 
 
 in the larger cities. The club holds, each autumn, an inland re- 
 gatta, and owns an elaborate club house costing about $6,000.00, 
 in the spacious reception rooms and parlors of which it dis- 
 penses its hospitality.

 roads of Isle La Motte and through the county of Grand Isle 
 generally, are among the finest in the world for horses and

 and the lake, is unsurpassed for great variety and beauty.

 opposite shore, a little to the south, are the de-

 none intrudes," where one may be as much alone with the uni- 
 verse as on a desert isle, yet an hour's tramp will bring him to 
 a postoffice, fresh meat, milk, eggs, etc. This paradoxical posi- 
 tion of proximity and distance is puzzling to strangers, but 
 highly prized by the experienced. 
 
 That true sportsman, W. H. H. Murray, in his book " Lake 
 Champlain and Its Shores," which all should read says: 
 
 " Having seen most of the localities of the continent noted 
 for their beauty, I can declare that I know of no other spot, 
 which for loveliness of appearance, majesty of scenery and 
 varied resources of entertainment can compare with Lake Cham- 
 plain. Nature has signalized, and history has emphasized it 
 with such charms and attractions that it challenges the attention 
 and invites the presence of all who love the one or are impressed 
 by the other. 
 
 "To the yachtsman it affords opportunities and pleasure, 
 navigation and amateur seamanship, as ample as sound or ocean 
 coast supply; while to the canoeist and campist it e.ctends, in its 
 bays and rivers, its islands and shores, its golden beaches and 
 bold promontories, ideal conditions of recreation and enjoyment 
 and the health that comes to those who love outdoor lifeand 
 world. 
 
 " You who long for health, peace and the new vigor which 
 comes from restful days and quiet nights, filled with sweet 
 sleep, which knits up the ravelled sleeve of care, should come to 
 Lake Champlain to spend the summer. You who love the 
 water, send your boats and yachts, or build them here, and I 
 will warrant you such pleasant and spirited yachting as is rarely 
 found. You who love tent and social camp-fire, verily is there 
 room here for an army of tents, and yet one shall not see the 
 other; you who need the rest and health found in pure, cool 
 mountain air, come to the base of these hills, amid whose tops 
 God generates the ozone of life, and floating on the level of the 
 water breathe its vigor in."
