Description In 1968, when Congress brought the 31-year-old Appalachian Trail under federal protection as part of the national park system, its management shifted from an informal alliance of private-citizen volunteers and public-agency leaders to a formal "cooperative management system" responsible for more than 2,000 miles of a backcountry footpath, destined for full public ownership more than 30 years later. This is the inside story of how the pieces of these still-evolving relationships were put together in the first two decades, by a Yale professor who served as chairman of a special advisory council for the secretary of the interior.

The inside story how of Congress took the AT under federal protection in 1968 and created the cooperative management system that runs the AT today.
