| Description |
Mary Sands, aka Mama Boots, began hiking and backpacking the Appalachian Trail in the early 1970s. Over the next sixteen years, accompanied by groups of Girl Scouts and adults, she eventually hiked the entire 2000+ miles of the AT. Appalachian Trail chronicles her journeys. Sands' descriptions of the incredible scenery, the difficulties and pleasures of hiking up and down mountains (in all varieties of weather), and her trials and joys as a leader of younger hikers are detailed with wit, elegance, and compassion. The text is accompanied by illustrations drawn by her fellow hikers. |
