Excerpt from Bread Loaf Inn, Ripton, Vermont, 1895The Silent Cliff, a thousand feet or more above the Hancock road, is easily reached from the Inn, and from it may be seen one of the finest forest displays to be found on the continent. The echoes here at the sound of the bugle are wonderfully fine, though hardly better than those from the steps of the Inn.The Pleiad Lake is inclosed in forests, 2500 feet above the sea. Here a superior boat house has been built, which, being supplied with a stove, is frequently used for picnic or camping purposes. In the tablelands on which the Inn stands, between the two higher ranges of the Green Mountains, there are many miles of drives abounding in exquisite views both near and distant.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
