Beschreibung

This memoir of a retired Marine corps officer’s hike on the Appalachian trial is a humorous, inspirational travel narrative of the journey of a lifetime.     “In early spring each year, an exodus takes place in this country. A cross-section of humankind makes its way singly, or by two’s and three’s, to an isolated mountaintop in northeast Georgia. These sojourners—weird looking creatures burdened with huge loads and wearing strange garments—are linked by their appearance and behavior. They share a common purpose: to hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia’s Springer Mountain to Mount Katahdin in a single season. These creatures call themselves ‘thru-hikers.’”   So begins J.R. “Model-T” Tate’s tale of his own thru-hike of the AT. As he recollects grueling climbs, knee-wrecking descents, mountaintop thunderstorms, snakes underfoot, and the myriad characters he encounters, Tate also conveys the beauty of the trail and the community that surrounds it in this inspiring travelogue.

This account of that trip, published in 1897, is a classic example of Twain's ever-vigilant observational wit. He addresses ever timely topics such as racism, imperialism, and religion.

After 10 years of professional driving, a taxi driver invites you into his cab to hear all the interesting, salacious, and humorous things that went on and were said. “I’ve seen more shit than most people see in a lifetime,” one young homeless man commented, proud of such a distinguished accomplishment. After a while, this cabbie began feeling the same way, and states: “some entertaining, weird, and even paranormal things took place in my cab, which you won’t want to miss!” These are his memoirs and the account of the haunting dynamics that occurred on his graveyard shifts, when things go bump in the night.
