"Informative, funny, and full of fascinating characters...Dan Szczesny bushwhacks a fresh, new, wonder-filled trail." -From the foreword by Rebecca Rule Over the course of one calendar year, journalist Dan Szczesny explored the history and mystique of New England's tallest mountain. But Mount Washington is more than just a 6,288-foot rock pile; the mountain is the cultural soul of climbers, hikers, and tourists from around the world.Szczesny's research took him outside of the archives; he was on the team of a ninety-seven-year-old ultra-runner, he dressed as Walt Whitman and read poetry while hiking up the mountain, and he spent a week in winter cooking for the scientists at the observatory. In The White Mountain, Szczesny turns a veteran journalist's eye toward exploring Mount Washington's place in the collective consciousness of the country and how this rugged landscape has reflected back a timeless history of our obsession and passion for exploration and discovery.

This story is set in the mid 1800s. The cowboy character is rescued from a renegade Apache band by a Bigfoot family and his wounds are cared for. Once he is well he has the opportunity to repay the Bigfoot family for their kindness that involves adventure down into Mexico and in a surprising twist that the reader has to pay close attention not to miss the build up he also finds romance. This is an enjoyable mix of old fashion cowboy and Indian battles and Bigfoot lore. The author has done a superb job of mixing the two.
