The narrative delves into the rich ecological and cultural history of New Hampshire's White Mountains, highlighting their transformation from Abenaki homeland to a cherished national forest. Christopher Johnson examines the dual perspectives of wilderness—both as a resource for exploitation and as a source of beauty and spiritual growth. He recounts the stories of early settlers, influential figures in tourism and art, and significant legislation like the 1911 Weeks Act, all while addressing the ongoing challenges of wilderness preservation and its future significance.
