Forest and Crag

Forest and Crag

Guy Waterman
4.5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Superbly researched and written, and featuring a new preface by co-author Laura Waterman, Forest and Crag is the definitive history of the mountains of the Northeast. The struggles of early pioneers in America's first frontier wilderness, the first ascent of every major peak in the Northeast, the building of the first trail networks including the Appalachain Trail, the golden era of summit resort hotels, the unforeseen consequences of the backpacking boom of the 1970s and 1980s -- it's all here in one comprehensive volume. The late Guy Waterman and his wife Laura spent a decade researching and writing Forest and Crag and in it they draw together widely scattered sources on the history of the White Mountains, the Green Mountains, the Adirondacks, the Catskills, as well as the mountains beyond and in between. What emerges is a compelling story of our ever-evolving relationship with the mountains and wilderness, a story that will fascinate historians, outdoor enthusiasts, and armchair adventurers alike.
