September 23, 1910 – Irving Langmuir’s diary –
Saw Apperson about taking a trip up to “his country.”
Langmuir and a young friend took their trip up to Apperson’s country the very next day. Though Irving, a naturally rapid-striding hiker, was in excellent condition, he complained, in his diary, that Apperson went too far and had to keep coming back for them.
A later entry reads, “7 men reached the top of Mt. Washington yesterday. All but Apperson were frost bitten.”
