By Tom EastmanThe Wentworth in Jackson is one of the last remaining grand hotels of the White Mountains. As Tolles related in his July 8 talk to about 80 history enthusiasts, the first White Mountain hotels began as roadside inns or taverns in the 1820s. Bryant Tolle wrote the book on the grand hotels of the White Mountains. In 1997-98, he served as curator of a special exhibit by the New Hampshire Historical Society on the grand hotels. Following three years of extensive research, that led to the publication of his book, "The Grand Resort Hotels of the White Mountains: A Vanishing Legacy."
