Presidential Range, White Mountains, New Hampshire, in 1912 sat at the edge of a tourism economy that had grown steadily since the railroads and grand hotels arrived in the late 1800s. The Concord and Montreal line and the Boston and Maine served the valleys, carrying summer visitors to resorts like the Crawford House and the Profile House, which drew guests from Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Logging and the pulp and paper mills of the Connecticut and Androscoggin valleys shaped the regional economy, and the timber cut from surrounding slopes was a reason for a growing conservation debate. Within a few years, that debate would help bring about the federal Weeks Act of 1911, which authorized federal purchase of forested land in the East, and public interest in preserving the peaks was rising. Mount Washington and its neighbors on the Presidential Range were already known across the country as a place of hiking, carriage roads, and weather science.
