Excerpt from Popular Resorts, and How to Reach Them: Combining a Brief Description of the Principal Summer Retreats in the United States, Routes of Travel Leading to Them Each year adds to the popularity of summer travel. The vacation fever returns annually with "the season," and custom demands that ever well-to-do family prepare for it. No class of society is exempt. The mechanic and merchant, the banker and clerk, the student and professional man, are alike affected by its seductive influences, and, in the pleasure it brings, seek that respite from the cares of life which exhausted nature requires. To know how to travel is a matter of great importance to the tourist. Many persons pass unheeding by the picturesque beauties of a pleasant route, expecting to find awaiting them at the end of their journey, the combined pleasures which others have described. In some instances the points to be visited are places of celebrity, but the route of approach lies through an uninteresting region. This is the case with many of our ocean watering-places. In others, as much pleasure may be derived en route as from the resort itself. This is particularly true of mountain travel, where every turn opens up new and interesting scenes. Where a single excursion is to be made for the season, it is a matter of importance for the tourist to select an objective joint and a route of travel, the peculiarities of which are congenial to his tastes. Public resorts which may furnish abundant sources of pleasure to one person frequently present little of interest to another. While one would be satisfied with a single day at the seashore, another would never tire of watching the waves break upon a rock-bound coast. The waving forests, the rugged grandeur of the mountains, and the deepening mystery of the glens, which to many prove sources of great delight, for others have no attractions. Hence the importance of carefully choosing desirable "Popular Resorts, and Routes to Reach Them." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
