A Walk in the Woods
Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
Two unprepared friends take on the Appalachian Trail, in a book as much about American forests as about failing to walk them.
Bryson and a badly unprepared old friend attempt the Appalachian Trail, and the comedy of their failure carries a real history of the forest, the people who protect it and the species already lost. He is funniest about his companion and most serious about what American conservation has and has not managed to hold on to.
