Mt. Moosilauke (1800) - Descent into Jobildunk Ravine



". . . Dr. Ezra Bartlett, Samuel Knight and others went on to Moosehillock about the year 1800. They did not succeed in lighting a fire, and it was so cold they had to leave the summit at night. They went down on the north east side over the great ledges in the ravine where they had to let themselves down with a pole. There was snow on the mountain at the time. . . ."

- Miss Hannah B. Knight's statement.
