eBook Edition of "Ramble On" is Now Available on Amazon

News and Adventure from Glacier National Park

Last week I annouced the release of my brand new book, Ramble On: How Hiking Became One of the Most Popular Outdoor Activities in the World. Today, I wanted to announce that the eBook version of “Ramble On” has just been published, and is now available on Amazon!

As with the original paperback edition, in this new eBook you’ll learn about:

* How the Age of Enlightenment and the Romantic Era influenced art, literature, religion and thought, which allowed hiking to bloom and eventually flourish.

* The crucial role the Crawford’s of New Hampshire played in the development of hiking, including the construction of two paths to the summit of Mt. Washington that were likely the first recreational trails in the world.

* The first hiking clubs, why they organized, and the key role they played in making hiking a popular pastime.

* How the Alpine Club of Williamstown’s inclusion of women set a precedent for admitting females in subsequent American clubs, a policy not shared by many of the first European clubs.

* The key innovations in gear and apparel, such as Vibram, Gore-Tex, fleece, polypropylene underwear and backpacks.

* The apparel women were forced to wear during the Victorian era, and the danger those fashion standards posed to women who dared to venture into the mountains.

Finally, I would really appreciate if you could share this post with any of your hiking friends and social media contacts who might be interested in this book!

Thank you very much!
