The Mountain is R. M. S. Jackson's intriguing work on the
benefits of a life attuned to nature. In the second half of the
nineteenth century, Jackson, a doctor and health enthusiast from
Cambria County, Pennsylvania, established a sanitarium called the
Allegheny Mountain Health Institute. In this book, he urges his
readers to abandon the mobs of the cities and frivolities of
leisure for the health and happiness that he attributes to the
powers of the Allegheny Mountains. The Mountain is an exemplary
study of the Alleghenies, combining an examination of the natural
environment with Jackson's own philosophy on the rewards of
discovering a "rejuvenescence in Nature."
