Mt. Moosilauke (1840) - Glencliff Trail
". . . In early times Chase Whitcher kept entertainment for man and beast on the Summit [Glencliff], Major Daniel Patch also, but neither of them kept tavern.
With the new road through Berry brook valley built, a hotel must be erected on the Summit. Moses Abbott, the fat man, kept it at first, and then it passed into the hands of Benjamin Little, and he was mine host in that section for many years.
Travelers who stopped at Mr. Little's inn, frequently suggested that they would like to climb to the bald crest of Moosilauke. To gratify the wish, one summer day he raised all High street by giving them what grog they could drink and they bushed out a path right up the side of the mountain to the topmost peak. . . ."
From "The History of Warren, A Mountain Hamlet Located Among the White Hills of New Hampshire" by William Little, 1870.
