“The pursuit of health and happiness, of the countless delights to be secured in no other way than by living the free life of the woods – this is our object. It is to forget the ticker and the ledger; to get out of our ears the jingle of the telephone and the clang of the electric, the querulous voice of the nerved-racked struggle-for-lifer, and the noises of the filth-encrusted pavement; to banish from our eyes the tense, distracting scenes and from our nostrils the noisome smells of city life.” – From “The Way of the Woods,” by Edward Breck (1908).
– Deb Acord
