Today the slopes of Mts. Madison and Adams in northern New Hampshire are covered by mature trees that create a rich green blanket on the mountains. One hundred years ago, logging had decimated this forest to provide lumber for construction and pulp for paper.
Trails or Timber?--a new publication from the Randolph Mountain Club--provides pictures of the era from 1851 to 1914 in which these mountains were first explored by hikers but then denuded for their timber. The creation in 1911 of a National Forest in the White Mountains halted the wholesale lumbering and led to the restoration of the forest. In the twenty-first century, the Presidential Range is protected from destructive timbering practices.
This slim volume publishes more than 80 images, many that have never appeared in print.
