Episode description

We are pulling on our hiking boots and stepping out on to the Appalachian Trail with author Philip D’anieri. Philip has written a book called The Appalachian Trail: A Biography which looks at the people behind the conception and construction of the trail over a period of 150 years. We discuss Bill Bryson and his 1998 book about the trail, the first person to walk the length of the trail, the volunteers who created and still maintain the trail, and how hiking is a relatively modern pastime.
