Virtually no one went hiking before the 19th century. What occurred that inspired ordinary people to take a walk in the woods for pleasure?
While there are enough books about mountaineering to fill a small library, very little has been written on the rich and fascinating history of hiking. Ramble On: A History of Hiking is the first book to explore how hiking evolved into one of the world's most popular outdoor recreational activities.
Extensively researched, Jeff Doran provides a broad overview of the origins of hiking, as well as the cultural trends, movements, events, and innovations that spurred its growth and allowed it to eventually flourish.
"Ramble On: A History of Hiking" is now available as an eBook on Amazon Kindle: https://lnkd.in/erKVDE8X
