There are a ton of thru-hiker memoir books written by northbounders, but are there any from southbounders?
About the only ones I’ve ever heard of are the ones in Hiking the Appalachian Trail (the 2 volume set by Rodale) back in the 70’s, and another one which is actually a photo book I think called Sojourn in the Wilderness.
Are there others, and what kind of read are they? Jim Shattuck’s (from the Rodale set) story is informative in that he does most of it during winter months. There are a few others in it but they do not have as much info as Jim’s does.
