A Life Outdoors A Curmudgeon Looks at the Natural World
Author: Wayne Hanley
"On a formal greensward, I'm a stumble-bum. It has to be wild and natural or it does not interest me," says Haley. So, here is A Life Outdoors - a profile of a man's progress with the wild and the natural; a life devoted to reconciling man and nature, with the scales tipped just a bit on the side of nature.
Our Last Backpack: A Memoir
Author: Daniel Doan
Two men, both in their early fifties, undertook a hike along the fabled Mahoosuc Range in New Hampshire and Maine in the summer of 1966. One of them, Daniel Doan, was the author of this story of their week-long trek. The other, Dr. Claud Sharps, a Laconia veterinarian, was Doan’s old friend and hiking companion from childhood.
Our Last Backpack
recounts in lyrical but direct prose their adventures along the trail. Appalachian Trail buffs and all those interested in the development of hiking in the White Mountains, as well as the many fans of Doan’s guidebooks and novels, will appreciate this very personal memoir.
