The writings of a man searching..

Great read, and perfect condition. Highly recommend reading this!

Great read.

Great book. Almost feel like you are back in timing hiking with Earl. Awesome to hear the description of the trail and surrounding areas during that time. You will like this book if you like the AT, like to hike backpack, like history or just want to read a great story.

Great book. If you're a fan of 34;Wild34; and 34;A Walk in the Woods34;, you will enjoy this as well.

Very happy with this order. Wonderful, beautifully written non-fiction adventure.

Excellent

. . . and your Patron Saint, if you are a thru-hiker, or aspire to be a thru-hiker, or a section hiker, or a one-time visitor who will never forget the experience. This one has a special place in my affections. If you only buy one account of an Appalachian Trail thru-hike, this has my most emphatic, enthusiastic recommendation. If you've made a list of many such accounts to consider, I make the identical recommendation for starting with this one. The original AT thru-hiker's original thru-hike, on a poorly maintained post-WWII trail in 1948, with a degree of solitude and perseverance that humbles the rest of us, or at least it should. And what Earl V. Shaffer's thru-hike accomplished for the trail, and for everyone who's hiked it since, cannot be measured.

Great read.
