Description:

This book explores the ties between two camps- Camp Pemigewassett, an enduring boys camp in Wentworth, New Hampshire begun in 1908, and the Moosilauke Summit Camp a few miles to the Northeast. The stories begin in 1910 in the days of the Moosilauke Tip Top House and end in 1942 after the loss of the Dartmouth Outing Club's Summit Camp in a fire during an unwitnessed fall storm. Weekly trip reports by campers and staff were created for the camp newsletter-Bean Soup - as well as original artwork here and in the Moosilauke summit logbooks. These are joined with the additional memories of former campers, all Pemigewassett Kids. In their own way, these accounts are unique.
