“I have been something of a traveller in our own country, - and in Europe have seen all that is most attractive, from the Highlands of Scotland to the Golden Horn of Constantinople - from the summit of the Hartz Mountains to the Fountain of Vaucluse; but my eye has yet to rest on a lovlier scene than that which smiles around you as you sail from Weirs' landing to Centre Harbor.”

- Edward Everett, Eastman's White Mountain Guide; 1879
