Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Berkshire: Describing and Illustrating Its Hills and Homes and Telling Where They Are, What They Are and Why They Are Destined to Become the Most Charming and Desirable Summer Homes in America; For the Season of 1887
In most mountainous regions there is a tiresome similarity among the mountains, the hills, the forests, the valleys, the streams and the land scape, but this is not so in Berkshire. Here, not only has no Other region been patterned from, but the mountains and hills, on every hand, are fashioned in the most varied styles, the valleys are no two alike, and the scenery everywhere passes before the eye of the traveler in the richest and most lavish profusion of dissimilar characteristics.
