Up Moosilauke
1799-1999
New Hampshire's Mt. Moosilauke, westernmost of the White Mountain peaks,
offers all-encompassing views of the North Country. But for those who
know where to look, it also provides glimpses of a forgotten past. Fragments
of that past have been explored here in eight short stories; among them
cutting the first trail (1840), opening the summit's Prospect House
(1860), the gold craze (1875), mountain poet Lucy Larcom (1892), skiing
Hell's Highway (1942). With excerpts from Ruth Barston's Moosilauke
journals (1860-68).
This collection is the latest in the series from Jack Noon's Connecticut
River towns of Barston and Wheelock.
