Pictured are (from left to right): Catherine Robbins, Hilda Kurth, and Kathleen Norris. Miss Robbins and Hilda Kurth were teachers, and Miss Robbins attended Middlebury College. These three were the first women to hike the entirety of the Long Trail. They covered 280 miles in 27 days.
This image is thought to be on Killington, however, "(?)" was included in the original title. The sign in the image reads, "Notice: Please read the rules." The slide was colored by Mrs. Perry in 1924 or 1926.
This slide comes from a series of photos taken during Herbert Wheaton Congdon's journey along the Long Trail from Mount Mansfield to the Brandon-Rochester Pass in 1914. Accompanying Congdon were three non commissioned officers of the 23rd Regiment NY National Guard, Company A.
