Description:
Blacksburg Books presents an Author Night with Phillip Gibbs on Friday, August 11, 2023.
For more than two decades, hikers on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia walked through some of the most beautiful landscapes of the southern Appalachian Mountains. Then, in 1952, the Appalachian Trail Conference moved 300 miles of the trail more than 50 miles to the west. This change was the single largest re-routing of the Appalachian Trail in the trail’s long history.
In his latest book, historian and lifelong AT section hiker Mills Kelly tells the story of a part of the history of the Appalachian Trail that is all but forgotten by hikers, but not by the residents of the southwestern Virginia counties that the trail used to cross. "Virginia’s Lost Appalachian Trail" is thus a history of the AT and a story of the power of memory in rural communities traversed by the trail.
Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street, Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
