The 48 Summits
From Mt Washington and the Presidential Range in the north to the Sandwich
Range in the south, from the beauty of the great White Mountain notches
(Crawford, Pinkham, Kinsman, Franconia, Zealand, Carrigain, Carter) to the
windswept summit of Mt Monadnock, this book celebrates the author's love for
the White Mountains and the Granite State of New Hampshire. Gathered over a
period of eighteen years, these stories cover a broad array of circumstances
and experiences. From the challenge of high-water stream crossings and
spring blizzards (Mt Garfield Dream) to the simple joy of car-camping on the
Kancamaugus Highway (Red Flannel Hash), from the severity of the White
Mountains in winter (Second Sojourn) to the heat and humidity of summer
(Mountain Pond and Carter Dome), from a wild and raucous night at Galehead
Hut (Closing Galehead) to the changing periods of a life (How Things Come to
Pass), this volume covers the gamut of experiences and emotions. This
collection includes some of Laudizen's favorite stories. 'My AMC White
Mountain Guides' is his homage to the area and describes how he came to
discover the White Mountains. In the story 'Out of the Fog', he relates some
of the strange moments and enigmatic encounters experienced over his years
on the trail. And 'The 48 Summits' reviews his quest to climb every
4000-foot peak while he recalls the history and emotions of those eighteen
years he spent hiking on the trails of New Hampshire. A fine read for anyone
who appreciates the rugged beauty of the New England mountains.
