The Applachian Trail: A Biography
Reviews
“makes clear that the work of humans, even a mere ribbon of dirt along an ancient ridgeline, will always bear the contradictions and complications of those whose hands — and feet — made it.”
“In exploring the trail’s ‘collage of aspirations and associations,’ D’Anieri has gone a long way toward discovering its identity. Thankfully, the tone is by no means academic but rather as accessible as the author believes the AT should be.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred)
“provides deft, engaging profiles”
“an absorbing read…insightful and sometimes provocative…not dry history but compelling, informative storytelling”
An "engrossing debut. ...In genial prose, D’Anieri captures the trail’s majesty and its power to inspire those who ramble on it."
"The complicated and colorful people who brought the AT to life deliver a distinctive view of its creation."
