Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built by James Everell Henry, the East Branch & Lincoln Railroad (EB&L) is considered to be the grandest and largest logging railroad operation ever built in New England. In 1892, the mountain town of Lincoln, New Hampshire, was transformed from a struggling wilderness enclave to a thriving mill town when Henry moved his logging operation from Zealand. He built houses, a company store, sawmills, and a railroad into the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River watershed to harvest virgin spruce. Despite the departure of the last EB&L log train from Lincoln Woods by 1948, the industry's cut-and-run practices forever changed the future of land conservation in the region, prompting legislation like the Weeks Act of 1911 and the Wilderness Act of 1964. Today, nearly every trail in the Pemigewasset Wilderness follows or utilizes portions of the old EB&L Railroad bed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The White Mountain National Forest and Great North Woods have been described as "nature's mammoth museum." This is a land of many lakes and rivers, mountains and waterfalls, and pristine natural splendor, abundant with historic charm. The White Mountain National Forest was established by presidential proclamation in 1918. It owes its existence to the passage of the Weeks Act of 1911, which enabled the federal government to purchase land and establish a national forest in New Hampshire's White Mountains. It is one of the most visited natural sites in the country, and tourists from all over the world make seasonal visits to this recreational haven. This book takes the reader on a historical journey through the national forest, including the majesty and grandeur of the Presidential Range, Great Gulf Wilderness, Pemigewasset Wilderness, and Sandwich Range Wilderness, as well as Franconia Notch, Pinkham Notch, Crawford Notch, and Great North Woods.

Download or read book Exploring Organ- Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument-Color Version written by David Soules and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Peaks National Monument is located in Doña Ana County in southern New Mexico. It covers close to 500,000 acres of the Chihuahuan Desert. Closest to Las Cruces are the fantastic spires of the Organ Mountains that rise close to a mile above the Rio Grande valley and the Tertiary volcanic cauldron of the Doña Ana Mountains. Though surrounded by desert grasslands and shrubs, the Organ Mountains are high enough to have small areas of pine and fir forest. There are three wilderness study areas within these units.The largest unit of OMDPNM contains much of both the Robledo Mountains and the Sierra de las Uvas, as well as parts of several smaller ranges. This is a land of steep peaks of both sedimentary and volcanic origin. Here, in the home of the Apache and the ancient Jornada Mogollon peoples, hidden rock art sites abound along side historic ranches, the Butterfield Trail, and World War II bombardier targets. Within this unit are the Las Uvas WSA, Robledo WSA and Prehistoric Trackways National Monument as well.To the southwest of Las Cruces is the remote volcanic landscape of the West Potrillo Mountains with cinder cones, volcanic maars, a shield volcano and lava flows. The steep igneous peaks of Mount Riley and Mount Cox and the intriguing overturned folds of the sedimentary East Potrillo Mountains are contained here also.Outside of the few official trails in the Organ Mountains, this is not a monument easily and safely explored. This book will take visitors to places that few people, even those who have lived in the area all their lives, ever see. Hopefully, it will give insight to even the most seasoned hiker, the challenges involved in negotiating this desert landscape. Many of the hikes are off trail and utilize abandoned roads, livestock and wildlife trails, and arroyo beds. Other hikes are completely cross- country. The sub-text throughout is urging the user to get out and explore, choosing their own destinations and pathways.

Book excerpt: "Informative, funny, and full of fascinating characters...Dan Szczesny bushwhacks a fresh, new, wonder-filled trail." -From the foreword by Rebecca Rule Over the course of one calendar year, journalist Dan Szczesny explored the history and mystique of New England's tallest mountain. But Mount Washington is more than just a 6,288-foot rock pile; the mountain is the cultural soul of climbers, hikers, and tourists from around the world.Szczesny's research took him outside of the archives; he was on the team of a ninety-seven-year-old ultra-runner, he dressed as Walt Whitman and read poetry while hiking up the mountain, and he spent a week in winter cooking for the scientists at the observatory. In The White Mountain, Szczesny turns a veteran journalist's eye toward exploring Mount Washington's place in the collective consciousness of the country and how this rugged landscape has reflected back a timeless history of our obsession and passion for exploration and discovery.

Download or read book Silent Witness written by Tom Jernigan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of good books on the history of Arizona's White Mountains already exist. These volumes (as with most historical accounts) speak of pioneers (and the characters among them) overcoming adversity and conquering nature to morph into the society we have today. Silent Witness looks at local history from different angles including the improbable viewpoint of nature. True exploits of some outstanding characters (both human and otherwise) are described. The White Mountains are centered about 165 miles north of the Mexican border and 25 miles west of the New Mexico state line. About half is occupied by the Apache Reservation. This region is one of the wildest and most remote areas left in the country. From the west side of the Apache Reservation, wildness flows southeasterly over forested peaks and river-washed canyons some 200 miles to the edge of the Rio Grande valley. This was the area chosen for the restoration of the Mexican Wolf and the Apache Trout. The author has worked and played in the forests of Arizona's White Mountains for over forty years. A student of local history, he presents some old familiar tales as well as many new stories from a fresh and sometimes controversial viewpoint.

Book excerpt: Woods Cop: True Stories of the Maine Warden Service is a collection of 21 stories from two former colonels, two lieutenants, two sergeants, four district wardens, a warden pilot, and one currently active duty corporal. Altogether, their cumulative experiences account for more than 300 years of warden experience. Before reality TV cameras, GPS devices, and dashboard computers, these wardens presided over a coming of age era for the Maine Warden Service. It was a time when a compass, map, and their wits were what mattered most in the field. Every day offered the potential for an exciting new adventure, many of which endangered the wardens themselves. This book recreates the full warden experience. In addition to hair-raising, life-and-death scenarios, the collection covers moments such as a child innocently outing his parents as “looking for deer” at night, the doldrums of a stakeout, and the grief of tragedy. The stories have been written in a third person, narrative format to ensure consistency in style and to help readers feel the excitement of a twig snapped in the dark, the frustration of second guessing yourself when lives are at stake, and the duty to do what’s right, even if it means breaking the law.
