Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comprehensive Trail Plan: Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail, Alabama-Mississippi-Tennessee The historic Natchez Trail was a primitive trail stretching some 500 miles through the wilderness from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee. The story of the old Natchez Trace is the story of a region and of the people who developed this trail into a vital road through the Old Southwest frontier. Although generally thought of as one trail, the Natchez Trace was actually a number of closely parallel wilderness routes. When the first Europeans arrived in the area about 1700, they found the Natchez, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Indians already using these rough trails into the interior of the lower Mississippi Valley. As American settlement expanded toward the southwest, boatmen used the trace to walk back to their homes after disposing of their trade goods and boats in the Mississippi River towns of Natchez and New Orleans. Today, the Natchez Trace Parkway, which commemorates the old trace, roughly parallels the historic route between Natchez and Nashville. Slated for completion in the 19905, the 449-mile motor road includes a right-of - way that averages 825 feet in width, with bulges at irregular intervals to provide land for associated recreation, interpretive, and management developments. Visitor facilities include comfort stations, picnic areas, campgrounds, marked sections of the old Natchez Trace, and interpreted sites of prehistorical, historical, and natural interest.

Download or read book Thousand Miler written by Melanie Radzicki McManus and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In thirty-six thrilling days, Melanie Radzicki McManus hiked 1,100 miles around Wisconsin, landing her in the elite group of Ice Age Trail thru-hikers known as the Thousand-Milers. In prose that’s alternately harrowing and humorous, Thousand-Miler takes you with her through Wisconsin’s forests, prairies, wetlands, and farms, past the geologic wonders carved by long-ago glaciers, and into the neighborhood bars and gathering places of far-flung small towns. Follow along as she worries about wildlife encounters, wonders if her injured feet will ever recover, and searches for an elusive fellow hiker known as Papa Bear. Woven throughout her account are details of the history of the still-developing Ice Age Trail—one of just eleven National Scenic Trails—and helpful insight and strategies for undertaking a successful thru-hike. In addition to chronicling McManus’s hike, Thousand-Miler also includes the little-told story of the Ice Age Trail’s first-ever thru-hiker Jim Staudacher, an account of the record-breaking thru-run of ultrarunner Jason Dorgan, the experiences of a young combat veteran who embarked on her thru-hike as a way to ease back into civilian life, and other fascinating tales from the trail. Their collective experiences shed light on the motivations of thru-hikers and the different ways hikers accomplish this impressive feat, providing an entertaining and informative read for outdoors enthusiasts of all levels.
