He spends his days hunting, fishing, and exploring the wilderness, and he is respected and admired by the other inhabitants of the region.As the poem unfolds, the mountaineer becomes embroiled in a conflict with a wealthy landowner who wants to dam the Neversink River and create a reservoir for his own purposes. The mountaineer fiercely opposes this plan, knowing that it will destroy the natural beauty of the region and disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem.The conflict between the mountaineer and the landowner escalates, and the mountaineer is eventually forced to take drastic action to protect his beloved wilderness. The poem is a powerful meditation on the beauty and fragility of nature, as well as a celebration of the courage and resilience of those who fight to protect it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
