your search after manhood go not to those latitudes where summer is blasting all the year long, but rather to the hardy north to the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, in Maine, to the coldest and flinty ist parts of New England, where men grow gardens with gunpowder, blast rock to find places to plant potatoes, where for six months of the year the earth is covered in snow and ice.
