Summary "Footing it in Franconia" by Bradford Torrey is a nature-focused travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This work captures the author’s experiences and observations while hiking in the Franconia region of New Hampshire, particularly exploring the area's flora and fauna. With a keen eye for detail and a love for the outdoors, Torrey immerses readers in the beauty of his surroundings and expresses his philosophical reflections on nature and companionship. The opening of the book transports readers into Torrey's journey through the scenic Franconia landscape, starting with a vivid description of a train ride and his ascent into the autumn-scented forests. As he arrives at his destination, he reflects on the company of a deceased friend who had shared many walks with him in the past. Despite the absence of this companion, he finds solace in engaging with the natural world around him, detailing his encounters with birds, butterflies, and other elements of wilderness life. The narrative blends personal nostalgia with a profound appreciation for the beauty of nature, setting the tone for a meditative exploration of existence and the simple joys of walking in the hills.
