About the Book

On the 31st of August, 1846, I left Concord in Massachusetts for Bangor and the backwoodsof Maine, by way of the railroad and steamboat, intending to accompany a relative of mine, engagedin the lumber trade in Bangor, as far as a dam on the West Branch of the Penobscot, in whichproperty he was interested. From this place, which is about one hundred miles by the river aboveBangor, thirty miles from the Houlton military road, and five miles beyond the last log hut, Iproposed to make excursions to Mount Ktaadn, the second highest mountain in New England, about thirty miles distant, and to some of the lakes of the Penobscot, either alone or with suchcompany as I might pick up there. It is unusual to find a camp so far in the woods at that season, when lumbering operations have ceased, and I was glad to avail myself of the circumstance of a gangof men being employed there at that time in repairing the injuries caused by the great freshet in thespring. The mountain may be approached more easily and directly on horseback and on foot fromthe northeast side, by the Aroostook road, and the Wassataquoik River; but in that case you seemuch less of the wilderness, none of the glorious river and lake scenery, and have no experience ofthe batteau and the boatman's life. I was fortunate also in the season of the year, for in the summermyriads of black flies, mosquitoes, and midges, or, as the Indians call them, "no-see-ems," maketraveling in the woods almost impossible; but now their reign was nearly over.Ktaadn, whose name is an Indian word signifying highest land, was first ascended by white menin 1804. It was visited by Professor J. W. Bailey of West Point in 1836; by Dr. Charles T. Jackson, the State Geologist, in 1837; and by two young men from Boston in 1845. All these have givenaccounts of their expeditions. Since I was there, two or three other parties have made the excursion, and told their stories. Besides these, very few, even among backwoodsmen and hunters, have everclimbed it, and it will be a long time before the tide of fashionable travel sets that way. Themountainous region of the State of Maine stretches from near the White Mountains, northeasterlyone hundred and sixty miles, to the head of the Aroostook River, and is about sixty miles wide. Thewild or unsettled portion is far more extensive. So that some hours only of travel in this directionwill carry the curious to the verge of a primitive forest, more interesting, perhaps, on all accounts, than they would reach by going a thousand miles westward.The next forenoon, Tuesday, September 1, I started with my companion in a buggy from Bangorfor "up river," expecting to be overtaken the next day night at Mattawamkeag Point, some sixtymiles off, by two more Bangoreans, who had decided to join us in a trip to the mountain. We hadeach a knapsack or bag filled with such clothing and articles as were indispensable, and mycompanion carried his
