Guide Book of the Long Trail- Thirteenth Edition

This is a very nice copy of the 1947 Guide Book to the Long Trail in Vermont. This trail stretches north and south from the Vermont border with Massachusetts to its border with Quebec. It passes over many of the highest peaks in Vermont's Green Mountains including Mount Mansfield, Camels Hump, Abraham, Ellen and Killington summits. The southern sections also form part of the Appalachian Trail All 12 section maps are present and in good condition. There is also a fold out map of the entire trail and (on the reverse) a map of the area around Mount Mansfield. Early Long Trail guides are quite difficult to find but provide a peek into hiking sports of the time both in the descriptions and in the advice to campers and hikers.
