104. Mystery Photo Of Upcountry Glen Some noted, with reservations, a resemblance to nature writer JohnBurroughs (18371921), who is associated with the Catskills, rural New York state, http://homepage.mac.com/sfe/henry/rustic-scene/

To return to Steve Ells' Thoreau research page, click here , or http://home.earthlink.net/~steveells (Below is a detail from the photograph.) Request for information about: An appealing old photo and a mystery man Caption: Above is thumbnail of full image. Original is 11 x 14 inches. (Click here or on photo for larger images I would appreciate any information on the identity of the person shown in this image, the location shown, or the photographer . I was "told" some decades ago that this photograph was taken in the Vermont or upper Connecticut River valley area, but it could be anywhere in the Appalachians. I was also "told" that the man was somehow associated with the New England literary scene of the late 19th century. His white hair, full white beard, and strong yet still-young profile could make him recognizable by someone. He is dressed more like a gentleman-rambler-poet than a farmer. Note his cap, his somewhat formal matching coat, his vest, his staff, a pocket handkerchief, and the flowers in his lapel (and probably in his right hand). The scene is full of rustic detail. The rock seat in the foreground seems to have been left for contemplation of the landscape, for the verges are otherwise cleared of obstructions to permit ease of mowing. The mower left flowers beside the rock. Horses, though halted at the moment of the photograph, are mowing the side-hill hayfield. The steeper slopes above are pasture. (Surprisingly, I can't see a stone wall anywhere.) The house in the center looks abandoned, for the windows are out and its chimney has fallen. In the house on the right, though, the farmer's wife appears to be industrious, for her laundry and her garden so testify. None of the houses appear to be painted. The serious notch beyond is romantically gloomy though the upper glen appears to be peopled. The well-traveled, back-country road winds steeply but invitingly out of sight.
