From the Back Cover:
A monumental work - the comprehensive history of the magnificent mountain ranges of the Northeast and the explorers who ventured into them. (7' x 10', 928 pages, paperback)
From Library Journal:
Although this book's sheer bulk may seem intimidating, readers will find it enjoyable and invaluable. It is rich with stories gleaned from journals, interviews, and first-hand encounters about the history of hikers and trail building in the Northeast mountains. While focusing on recreation history of the three major ranges, it also includes fascinating accounts of lesser ranges and individual mountains. Of special interest is how mountain recreation in the region evolved from hill walking of the 1830s, to turn of the century camping, to postwar hiking and backpacking, to current trail building and maintenance. The book features fine maps, superb documentation, and a helpful glossary. Recommended for experts and general readers.
