Katahdin: An Historic Journey
by John W. Neff
Paperback
Neff draws together rare sources for a journey through Mount Katahdin's history, legend, and legacy. The narrative retraces the steps of Native Americans, whose spiritual approach to the mountain still resonates today; recounts the first glimpses colonial Europeans recorded of the dramatic mountain; and accompanies Thoreau as he soaks up the landscape's majesty. Neff's analysis of the region's development through the advent of railroading and logging, sporting, and trailbuilding illustrates the history of its pathways, including the Appalachian Trail. The voices of today's Native American, conservation, and community members infuse this historical narrative with the life of the people who are intricately connected with the mountain. Neff also explores the mountain's more sinister legacy – that of misadventure and tragedy in the wilderness.
