Book excerpt: This booklet presents the history of the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) in the chronological context of national and local events in North Georgia from 1921 to 2021. The 2190 mile long A.T. draws people from all over the world to experience this Nation's first National Scenic Trail for a day, a week, or, for a lucky few, the months required to hike from Georgia to Maine. This booklet, with many historic photgraphs in an easy to follow format, is intended for people with an interest in the Trail, the history of the reagion, and the impact of the trail on the communities through which it passes. The many contributions of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to the development of the A.T. and the region from 1933 to 1942 are covered in a separate section. The authors especailly hope that this booklet will find its way into classrooms where students will be inspired to experience America's wilderness and National Parks.
