- Summary
- "The Appalachian Trail is America's most beloved trek, with millions of hikers setting foot on it every year. Yet few are aware of the fascinating backstory of the oddballs and obsessives who helped bring it to life over the past century"--
- The conception and building of the Appalachian Trail is a story of the unforgettable characters who explored it, defined it, and captured national attention by hiking it. D'Anieri provides backstories for the dreamers and builders who helped bring the Trail to life over the past century. A must-read for anyone who wonders about our relationship with the great outdoors. -- adapted from jacket
