The unique geological history of the Adirondacks can be found in a pebble. So discovers humorist and outdoorsman Tim Rowland as he chronicles the evolution of hiking in the howling wilderness of the High Peaks. From nineteenth-century guidesâ€™ â€œrandom scootsâ€ to Melville Deweyâ€™s â€œAdirondaks Lojâ€ to todayâ€™s technologically enhanced weekenders, Rowland, who has climbed the forty-six himself, incorporates personal anecdotes and laugh-out-loud wit to capture the appeal and beauty of this beloved region, all the while reminding us of the importance of keeping these stunning mountains, and their attendant â€œneat rocks,â€ â€œForever Wild.â€
