Description
An account of the resource
Birds-eye view maps were very popular during the last two decades of the 19th century. This high-end version almost certainly owes its existence to the popularity of the Chautauqua Institution, founded in 1874 and pictured in the lower left foreground. The costs of creating and printing such documents presupposed investment by local merchants, buyers willing to purchase them, or both. In this pre-air-conditioned era lake resorts like those on Lake Chautaqua were popular destinations; we see railways and steamboats conveying visitors from many points of origin.

Description
An account of the resource
The titular protagonists of <em>Four Girls at Chautauqua</em> are pictured here prior to their two-week spiritual journey in the popular novel written by "Pansy," the pen name of Isabella Macdonald Alden. Founded in 1874, the Chautauqua Institution synthesized aspects of camp meetings, religious education, and tourism. Its setting, alongside a picturesque lake, preserved elements of nature--as in a "grand temple" of trees that later became the Hall of Philosophy, an open-air Grecian structure set amidst the grove that captivated Alden. In her novel, moments of spiritual trial and revelation often are set amidst Chautauqua's natural locations. Five years later, the Cassadaga Lake Free Association at Lily Dale--for the exploration of Spiritualism and Freethinking--was founded nearby with its own Forest Temple.
