| Description | "This is my tale…a tale of seventy years of kinship with the Appalachian Mountain Club," begins Fred Stott in this memoir that tells the story of the AMC through the eyes of one of its most influential and long-standing members. Stott, who passed away in December 2006, weaves together events from his life - his first hike in the Whites, working as a hutman at Madison Springs, serving on Iwo Jima, helping to build the President’s Society - with the evolution of the Appalachian Mountain Club into "a major player in determining how we inhabitants of the northeastern United States safeguard and use our land and water for recreation - what we have done, are doing, and can do." |
