An Appalachian
Trail Reader

David Emblidge, editor

From the book’s Web site: Here are the works of both well-known writers and anonymous raconteurs, including Henry David Thoreau, James Dickey, Aldo Leopold, Washington Irving, James MacGregor Burns, Richard Wilbur, and many others, as well as excerpts from the diaries and letters of modern day visitors. Hikers’ private journals stand next to scientists’ close observations of the natural world, and these readings mingle with poets’ evocations of meaningful music heard in the wind, in birdsong, or in the babbling brooks.

David’s book is available through the ATC’s Ultimate Trail Store, as well as through Amazon.com and his book’s Web site.
