Author Talk with Mills Kelly: "A Hiker's History of the Appalachian Trail" Primary tabs

Join us along with local author Mills Kelly to discuss his book "A Hiker's History of the Appalachian Trail", which is about who proposed the trail, who built it, who maintains it, and the most famous hikers.
Mills Kelly is a historian, a podcaster, a hiker and backpacker, a photographer, an author, and an award-winning educator. He just retired from George Mason University where he taught for 24 years. He maintains one of the most historic shelters on the Appalachian Trail and is the archivist of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC). And just because he doesn’t have enough connections to the trail, he is also a board member of the Appalachian Trail Museum. He has been hiking on the Appalachian Trail since 1971, which seems like a very long time these days. During those years he has logged more than 600 miles of the trail in 10 of the 14 states the trail traverses. Many sections he’s hiked several times just because he likes them.
