stood there on the summit, the crest of New York State, one of the highest spots in eastern America.  The rock on which we now stood is supposed to be the oldest in the world.  When the world was completely innundated, one little island of Achaean rock was put forth above the water - Mt. Marcy in the Adirondacks.  Other islands appeared and then the grean V-shaped continent in Central Canada in the angle of which is situated Hudson Bay.
  A mass of sensations come over you as you sit down upon the rock at the summit.
