Description[Mt. Ararat Provincetown]
Remarks[“June 21. . . At East Harbor River, as I sat on the Truro end of the bridge . . . Soon after crossing the bridge, I turned off and ascended Mt. Ararat. . . on the other, the west, side, a few valleys and hills, densely clothed with a short, almost moss-like (to look down at) growth of huckleberry, blueberry, bear-berry, josh-pear (which is so abundant in Provincetown), bayberry, rose, checkerberry, and other bushes, and beyond, the Bay. All these bushes formed an even and dense covering to the sand-hills” Journal 9: 451-452. 1857]
