Reseña del libro "Franconia Notch (en Inglés)"

In 1805, a member of a survey crew working on building a road through New Hampshire's Franconia Notch walked down to Ferrin's Pond (today's Profile Lake), gazed up the side of Cannon Mountain, and was mesmerized by what he saw--the state's most iconic symbol, the Old Man of the Mountain profile. A few years later, the Flume Gorge, an 800-foot-long natural gorge, was discovered. These natural curiosities quickly gained national attention, and by the mid-1800s, Franconia Notch was a tourist mecca; the limited stagecoach travel through the notch became daily, and the simple overnight accommodations were replaced with the Flume House and the Profile House, two grand hotels that could accommodate hundreds of overnight guests. After fire destroyed the Profile House in 1923, the property was put for sale. A joint effort between the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, the State of New Hampshire, and the New Hampshire Federation of Women's Clubs led to the creation of the Franconia Notch Forest Reservation and Memorial Park (today's Franconia Notch State Park) in 1928. This book takes readers on a journey through the rich and fascinating history of Franconia Notch during the mid-19th to late 20th century.
