Skiing with Henry Knox: A Personal Journey Along Vermont’s Catamount Trail
Sam Brakeley
I have a real soft spot for books like this.
Young dude decided to take on doing the Catamount Trail, (a cross country ski route that runs the length of Vermont) in a single push. Ostensibly he’s doing this to give himself time to make a major life decision, but it’s also just a cool adventure. He weaves the tale of this quite challenging, and very cold, adventure with a retelling of an expedition by Revolutionary War officer Henry Knox engaging in a winter campaign through New England.
A fun read, and is inspiring me to think bigger about my own adventures.
