Download or read book Their Troubled Trails written by Shirlee Evans and published by Mill City Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by true events of 1845--gleaned from diaries and histories of that day--two Bonney families head west, followed by cousin, Wales Bonney, who lands in more trouble than he'd bargained for and comes close to being hung. Jane Bonney trudges alongside her family's ox-drawn covered wagon, trying to keep track of her youngsters. Pregnant again with her eighth, she had been unable to talk her itchy-footed husband into giving up this foolishness--this long-held dream of his of claiming land in far off Oregon Territory. Having her brother-in-law and his family along comforted her some, although it did nothing to alleviated her fear of Indians. Jane was three when her birth family was attack by Indians near Buffalo, New York at the start of the War of 1812. The terror that day took the lives of her family, leaving Jane orphaned with a section of her scalp missing. Behind them, with another wagon company, follows Wales Bonney, her husband's cousin. Wales wrote that he would be leaving his wife and children in Ohio until he saw what Oregon had to offer. Jane never had cared for Wales Bonney, although she and his wife, Lucinda, were longtime friends. The Bonneys that year were among the first to take their families west, unaware of the hazards that awaited, of the little-known trails, deceptive shortcuts, nearly impassable mountain ranges, and curious natives who sullenly watched. The Bonneys had never before heard of the fast-talking old trapper turned trail guide they were to encounter. It was also a time when Jane began to come to grips with her dread and fear of Indians as she tried to help several they came upon. Their Troubled Trails follows the Bonney families west as they met and interacted with some well-known historical figures of their day.

Download or read book On Trails written by Robert Moor and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2009, while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our feet: How do they form? Why do some improve over time while others fade? What makes us follow or strike off on our own? Over the course of the next seven years, Moor traveled the globe, exploring trails of all kinds, from the miniscule to the massive. He learned the tricks of master trail-builders, hunted down long-lost Cherokee trails, and traced the origins of our road networks and the Internet. In each chapter, Moor interweaves his adventures with findings from science, history, philosophy, and nature writing--combining the nomadic joys of Peter Matthiessen with the eclectic wisdom of Lewis Hyde's The Gift. Throughout, Moor reveals how this single topic--the oft-overlooked trail--sheds new light on a wealth of age-old questions: How does order emerge out of chaos? How did animals first crawl forth from the seas and spread across continents? How has humanity's relationship with nature and technology shaped the world around us? And, ultimately, how does each of us pick a path through life? With a breathtaking arc that spans from the dawn of animal life to the digital era, On Trails is a book that makes us see our world, our history, our species, and our ways of life anew"--Book jacket flap.
Download or read book The Appalachian Trail written by Philip D'Anieri and published by Mariner Books. This book was released on 2021 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Appalachian Trail is America's most beloved trek, with millions of hikers setting foot on it every year. Yet few are aware of the fascinating backstory of the dreamers and builders who helped bring it to life over the past century. The conception and building of the Appalachian Trail is a story of unforgettable characters who explored it, defined it, and captured national attention by hiking it. From Grandma Gatewood--a mother of eleven who thru-hiked in canvas sneakers and a drawstring duffle--to Bill Bryson, author of the best-selling A Walk in the Woods, the AT has seized the American imagination like no other hiking path. The 2,000-mile-long hike from Georgia to Maine is not just a trail through the woods, but a set of ideas about nature etched in the forest floor. This character-driven biography of the trail is a must-read not just for ambitious hikers, but for anyone who wonders about our relationship with the great outdoors and dreams of getting away from urban life for a pilgrimage in the wild.
