Great Stone Face no longer!,
By
This review is from: The Great Stone Face: And Other Tales of the White Mountains (Paperback)
Though I am partial to this yarn, I think that it's only fair to warn the reader that the Old Man of the Mountains tumbled off his perch a few years ago. I stood on his forehead one day in July, thirty-five years ago, and wrote about that experience and the Old Man in The Country Northward. At that time, the profile was held together by steel rods, eye-bolts, and a plastic bandage to keep the rain out. Alas, the patch didn't hold, and Hawthorne's Great Stone Face collapsed due to erosion, the power of ice, and the vibration from automobiles and trucks grinding to the height of land in Franconia Notch. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
