Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mountains and Other Nature Sketches
While the field study of birds and of the trees that were characteristic of any locality, was a recreation full of pleasure for him, back of all and above all, he felt the appeal of the mountains. The moun tains satisfied him; they rested him.
More than twenty times he visited the White Hills of New Hampshire; sometimes returning to the scene of a former stay, often going to a new point from which to study them. He went among them, he went around them and to the tops of many of them. Other mountain regions claimed him from time to time; but this was his mountain home.
