Very Basic History of the Appalachian Trail

The Williamsport (PA) Sun-Gazette of 1 April 2007 has an outdoors column titled "Appalachian Trail attracts 4 million visitors annually" by Eric Long. It's a short, pretty basic introduction to the history of the Trail.

"The 'Holy Grail' of hiking in the eastern United States began as a proposal by a regional planner, who felt the beautiful stretches of wilderness in the East should be preserved and protected." And so on.
