Excerpt from Berkshire County: Pittsfield Public Schools The Mountains of this section have a regular increase of ele vation from a height of about 900 feet in Connecticut to over feet in northern Massachusetts. Here Greylock, the highest moun tain in the state, lifts its majestic head to a height of feet.* The great Berkshire valley, tho divided and subdivided, is enclosed within mountain walls which make it one. This valley, with its adjoining hillsides and mountain t0ps, includes most of the county. The Mountain Range on the East is the Hoosac. It has been made famous by the Hoosac Tunnel. This tunnel is bored thru the base of one of the highest parts of the mountain in a straight line four and three-fourths miles long. About half way thru the tunnel there is a ventilating shaft more than feet high leading to the surface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
