Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pen and Sunlight Sketches of Scenery Reached by the Grand Trunk Railway: And Connections, With Summer Routes and Fares to Principal Points, Including Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands, Rapids of the St. Lawrence, Montreal, Quebec, Parry Sound, Georgian Bay, Muskoka Lakes, Adirondacks, Lake St. John, Mackinac Island, Midland Dist An answer to the question, "Where shall I, spend my summer vacation?" will not be hard to find in the following pages. To one class of people a summer vacation means a round of gayety and excitement, at fashionable resorts and elegant hotels, with ease and luxury for accompaniments. To another class it means a quiet sojourn "by lake, or stream, or woodland glen," in company with Nature and her choicest works, and "far from the madding crowd." Between these two extremes we find every variety of tastes, some of which are met by a combination of scenery, or a tour from one resort to another, with sight-seeing as the end to be gained. Whatever may be the preferences of the summer traveler as to scenery, sport or climate, it is safe to say that no greater variety can be found on the line of any railroad on the American continent than the wide range afforded by the Grand Trunk Railway, and its immediate connections. The half-tone engravings with which this book is illustrated are exact reproductions from photographs, "uncolored and unadorned." This enables the reader to obtain a few glimpses of the scenery which lies scattered all along the journey over what we confidently declare to be the most picturesque and attractive tourist route of America; embracing, as it does, the most popular summer resorts on the continent, and covering the widest range of rural, urban, river, lake, sea-coast and mountain scenery to be compassed by a journey of similar extent anywhere in the world.
