| Title | Five years in the White Mountains, volume 1 |
| Dates | 1890-1899 |
| Abstract | Written by Elmer Nelson, the first volume of "Five Years in the White Mountains" is presented as having been published by the fictitious publishers, Green and Little, representing the alter egos of Elmer and Arthur Nelson respectively, as part of their Forest Series. The volume includes a list of chapters and a full list of illustrations, providing additional evidence that the Nelson boys were developing their skills not only as writers and illustrators, but also as makers of quality books. Over the course of six chapters, the boys (the narrator and his brothers William and Ethan) are attacked by a moose and by a bear, they climb a mountain and discover a lake, they hunt and fish, they go beachnutting and blueberrying, and they spend time ice skating and sugaring. |
