About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Hiking Trails of the Cohutta & Big Frog Wildernesses offers the flexibility of numerous routes and room to roam within the South's largest national forest wilderness. You can dayhike a short trail or backpack a long, circuitous route and walk for most of a week with scarcely a backtrack. Wilderness hiking brings many rewards - magnificent views into wild and undisturbed lands; peaks covered with spring wildflowers; clear, cold, cascading mountain rivers - but wilderness hiking also presents challenges. This book will help both novice hikers and experienced backpackers plan for and enjoy trips into the wilderness.

From the Back Cover:

Includes works by Walker Percy, Tom Wolfe, Williams Faulkner, Martha Lacy Hall, Truman Capote, Erskine Caldwell, Eudora Welty, Clyde Edgerton, Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, Augustus BAldwin Longstreet and others.
