Excerpt from The White Mountains of New Hampshire: In the Heart of the Nation's Playground
To Play golf up amid the clouds; to enjoy a New England summer sunset from a point more than a mile above ones office in the distant metropolis; to leave the heat-swathed city and in a few hours find ones self in clear, crisp air 1,600 feet above the sea - these are but a few of the unique experiences that come to those who select the White Mountains of New Hampshire for their vacation place.
Someone has said of this wonderfully fascinating region that it is the greatest country east of the Mississippi River for the strengthening and upbuilding of the human constitution; and this is literally true.
In this respect, and in point of scenic beauty, it has no rival in eastern America. The White Mountains are the Alps of New England, with all of the outdoor pastimes and joys that the term implies, and with much of the rugged grandeur as well.
And twenty-five millions of Americans may reach them within twenty-hours journey of their homes, if they will.
