This book chronicles one man’s journey along the Appalachian Trail and is filled with humor, adventure, mishaps and most importantly an appreciation of the natural beauty of the environment along the trail. What begins as an adventure becomes a learning experience about the history of the trail and the environmental dangers that both man and nature pose. As Allegheny County is establishing itself as a nationally recognized green community, Bill Bryson’s lessons learned along the Appalachian Trail underscore the importance of preserving our natural environment.
