Excerpt from "Open Season" And Resting Retreats Among the Lakes, Rivers, and Mountains of Northern Maine and New Brunswick
Spot. There is a land where lofty hills raise their summits to the clouds, and not so much as a footpath upon them; vast forests, large enough to make a dozen States like Rhode Island, given over to the bear, the moose, and other game; a hundred lakes on whose bosom are ¿ocks of wild fowl; and, let me whisper it, streams where salmon and trout crowd each other in darksome pools beneath the shadow of trees which were old when The May¿ower dropped her anchor in Plymouth Bay; and all these within twenty-four hours' rail of Boston. There the most devoted lover of roughing it can have his fill of pleasure. There those who revel in contemplation of the sublime and beautiful will find glorious landscapes and magnificent combinations of rocks, water, and verdure.
