Editing Mount Monadnock (section)

===The transcendentalists===
[[Ralph Waldo Emerson]], [[Henry David Thoreau]], and [[Margaret Fuller]] visited the mountain and wrote fondly of it. Emerson was a frequent visitor, and made the mountain the subject of "Monadnoc",<ref>[http://www.monadnock.net/emerson/monadnoc.html "Monadnoc"]</ref> one of his most famous poems. Thoreau visited the mountain four times between 1844 and 1860, and spent a great deal of time observing and cataloging natural phenomena. He is regarded as having written one of the first serious naturalist inventories of the mountain. A bog near the summit of Mount Monadnock and a rocky lookout off the Cliff Walk trail are named after him; another lookout is named after Emerson.<ref name="baldwin"/>
