 Enduring Classic - This First is Best August 31, 2001
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Earl Shaffer was the first person to hike the entire length of the Appalachian Trail (AT) in one continuous journey in 1948 after getting out of the military following WWII. As he wonderfully describes walking with the Appalachian spring across the mountains, there is much history, adventure and nature to be experienced. We can glimpse backward in time before this famous trail was well-known, when it was thought that no one could hike the entire length in one season. But we also find universal descriptions of what it is like to live outdoors and journey on the trail over the course of a "thru-hike," made today by hundreds each year. This was the first book about hiking the AT, and, after reading many AT books myself, I think it is the best.
