Promises to Keep: An Australian on the Appalachian Trail by Jesse Brampton

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Pages are sunned. Author has inscribed copy.

Each year thousands set out to walk the 2,135 mile Appalachian Trail that spans 14 US states. Barely 10 percent succeed.

This is the story of one man's attempt. He describes his inner struggle, the natural beauty of the trail, and the diversity of characters he met during his months of backpacking. It is both a lyrical evocation of a classic long-distance hike and a candid exposure of the core of one man's soul. (back cover)
