Barry Veden Talks About His Book

"Hiking The Appalachian Trail" is the title of Jason Miller's 11 February 2008 article in the News-Dispatch of Michigan City, IN. The article is a report on a talk given by local author Barry Veden at the Michigan City Public Library. Veden has recently published a book,

"Coming of Age on the Appalachian Trail, a collection of short stories about the many hikes he's taken along the 2,160-mile mountain trail that traverses some of the East's most beautiful and dangerous mountain terrain."

Veden hopes to thru-hike the Trail at some point. "'You really have to go there in person to really understand it.'"
