false 453186 1 <div>The definitive history of the mountains of the Northeast is now back in print. Exhaustively researched and superbly written, and now featuring a new introduction by author Laura Waterman, <i>Forest and Crag</i> is a classic of outdoor literature. The late Guy Waterman and his wife Laura were pioneers in promoting preservation of wild places and backwoods ethics. They spent a decade researching and writing <i>Forest and Crag,</i> drawing together widely scattered sources on the history of the White Mountains, the Green Mountains, the Adirondacks, the Catskills, and beyond. The struggles of early pioneers in America's first frontier wilderness, the first ascent of every major peak in the Northeast, the creation of the Appalachian Trail, the golden era of the summit resort hotels, the unforeseen consequences of the backpacking boom of the 1970s and 1980s-it's all here in one comprehensive volume. Lovers of adventure and the outdoors will hail the return of this classic history of the mountains of the Northeast.<br></div> 441793 1 11 2003 Forest and Crag, A History of Hiking, Trail Blazing, and total:4|5:2|4:2| 4 18 7 1 4 0 false false Fri Feb 27 16:17:48 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 16:18:33 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 21 20:53:41 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 20:57:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Apr 22 20:42:32 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 20:42:32 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Apr 19 09:56:57 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 09:56:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 02 18:28:44 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 19:53:54 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 18:28:44 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Mar 05 06:08:32 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 06:08:32 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 15 13:55:30 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 13:55:30 -0700 2008
