“How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view!

And every loved spot which my infancy knew,”

“Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
