Synopsis
Excerpt from A Bibliography of the White Mountains
The White Mountains, covering roughly an area somewhat less than forty miles square in northern New Hampshire, with but nine mountains over five thousand feet in height and only one peak above six thousand, have had more written about them, probably, than any other mountains, the Alps alone excepted. The highest summit, patriotically named for President Washington during the first years of his administration, was the first mountain to be climbed in what is now the United States. This was accomplished by Darby Field, in 1642. The record of this first ascent was pre served by Governor John Winthrop ih his journal, which, however, was not published until nearly a century and a half later.
