The Chronicle of the Old Man of the Mountain. High on a cliff in Franconia Notch, jutting out above tranquil Profile Lake, was a natural stone formation which seemed to be the profile of a man of deep character. The wilderness beauty of the Old Man's setting has been cherished as an integral part of the experience of Franconia Notch. It had been threatened many times, by exposure, loggers and a highway. This book tells of efforts to repair him, and save him from centuries of exposure. By Frances Ann Johnson Hancock. Publication date: January 1, 1983.
