McLaughlin’s book is an intimate, detailed account of a solitary trek through some of the wildest, most remote parts of the Adirondacks. While skirting ponds, crossing bogs and tramping through rain-soaked forests, he reflects upon the region’s history, the origins of the wilderness preservation movement and the importance of wildness to well-being.
Walt McLaughlin has hiked throughout the Northeast and has written extensively about his backcountry experiences. His work has appeared in Vermont Life, Writing Nature and many other periodicals. He has eight books in print, including Arguing with the Wind, an account of his solo immersion in the Alaskan bush and Forest under my Fingernails, a narrative about hiking Vermont’s Long Trail end-to-end.
This event is free and open to the public. Northshire Bookstore is located at 424 Broadway, Saratoga Springs.
