New Hampshire, Lake Region Inscriptions: Whiteface Intervale, Sandwich; Perkins Ground, New Durham; Further Memorials of Meredith (Classic Reprint)

Description:Excerpt from New Hampshire, Lake Region Inscriptions: Whiteface Intervale, Sandwich; Perkins Ground, New Durham; Further Memorials of MeredithAs the day waned the chill increased until it became really cold, and we began to experience the effects of one of those sharp changes in the weather so characteristic of New England, but which are especially marked among the mountains. Just at sunset we started on our four - mile drive, behind a fine span that maintained an even pace, up hill and down, to the end. From the top of the high hill a mile or more on our way we saw the full grandeur of the Sandwich Range from Chocorua to the Dome stand out in the twilight, the cleft head of old Whiteface right in front being conspicuous, but the depths of the immense basinthat intervened between us and its rugged sides were al ready lost in darkness, through which twinkled the early lamps of the small settlement at its base. We made the descent over the steep and hazardous road, and a few minutes later drew up before the hospitable door of Mr. William mccrillis, the principal resident and owner at the Intervale. In the sitting room we found a cheerful fire in the Open fireplace and a cordial welcome to the circle gathered, which included several who were, like ourselves, strangers and pilgrims. The cheerful warmth and a good supper dissipated the temporary feeling of discomfort incident to our cold ride, but a night's rest was needed to relieve our fatigue after the long and hard journey of the day. Our sleeping apartments were in a small cottage adjacent to the main dwelling, and thither we retired, our demur at lockless doors and the absence of other city safe guards creating some amusement among the members of the family and the other guests.Sunday morning we awoke in full realization of the poet's expression: Through Sandwich notch the west-wind sang Good morrow to the cotter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
