- Kurzbiographie
- Earl V. Shaffer was the first person to "thru-hike" the Appalachian Trail from Mt. Oglethorpe, Georgia, USA to Mt. Katahdin, Maine, USA as a single continuous journey (in 1948). In 1965 he thru-hiked the Trail in a southerly direction, becoming the first person to make complete end-to-end hikes in both directions. He made another northbound thru-hike in 1998 at age 79, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his first historic 2,000 mile hike.

Walking with Spring von Earl V. Shaffer
"Walking with Spring" is an enjoyable trek if a bit matter-of-fact, but still, it's a great travelogue of the first ever through-hike of the Appalachian Trail (a bucket list item).
