J.R. "Model T" Tate's book about the history, myths, lore and legends surrounding the Appalachian Trail is now available for the Kindle.
On his third thru-hike of the AT, the author realized he had hiked past hundreds of monuments, historical markers, old buildings without ever hearing the stories behind them. He embarked on researching these stories, and trots them out like we were sitting around a campfire in a voice that betrays his southern roots.
That the story follows the trail northward makes it handy to have in one's back pocket to read and to refer to along the way - if it weren't so thick! While the printed version is thick and heavy, the Kindle version is weightless!
