Publisher's Synopsis
Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times drama critic Brooks Atkinson (1894-1984) was not just a writer. Whether climbing or hiking to satisfy his need for nature or visiting other cultures to satisfy a need for adventure, Brooks was using his knack for observation to show a world of color, a world of wonder. Early in his career, he took the time to hike with a friend across the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, documenting their travels with vivid descriptions of emotion and nature. Join Brooks on his journey as he writes with the relish he felt about the written word and his time on Skyline Promenades. Brooks shows that hiking had the same beauty and exhilaration in 1925 that it has today.
