Join 79-year-old backpacking legend Earl Shaffer as he recounts the story of his remarkable 1998 journey on foot from Georgia to Maine along the fabled Appalachian Trail, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of his history-making first thru-hike in 1948.

This book presents his journal in its original form as he had originally intended, along with more than 80 beautiful glossy color illustrations of the Appalachian Trail and scenes from Earl's journey.
This is a special Limited Edition of only 1000 copies. Each book is sequentially numbered, and is sure to grow in value as a collectors item.
