Excerpt from The Wellesley Magazine, Vol. 4: March 14, 1896
It is a climb we love to remember, for the obstacles were many, and we delighted in them all. With the roaring of the stream in the chasm for our guide, we crept along over the slippery rocks, plunging into deep drifts, and clinging to the trees when our footing failed. At the end of the mile we found what we were seeking, the majestic presence of the monarch of the mountains, - and he was graciously pleased to receive our homage, - ia the quiet audience chamber of the winter wilderness.
