When Thoreau stood on the flank of Maines Mt. Katahdin 1846, he was one of a handful of Americans who had ventured so deeply into the wilderness for the mere sake of seeing what was there. Today, hundreds of thousands of peoplesome with cell phones and GPSstand where Thoreau did.For some, Katahdin is the longawaited terminus of the Appalachian Trail, the 2,160mile footpath from Georgia to Maine. For others, Maines highest peak and the state park surrounding it are the closest they can come to wildernessthe Glacier National Park of the east. In North to Katahdin, Eric Pinder uses Katahdin as his laboratory to explore what draws people to the mountains and whether hikers today are having remotely the same experience as did Thoreau. Are they even trying to? And if wilderness means "an absence of humanity," what do we call it when its filled with people?Pinders interviews with hikers and accounts of his own treks, humorous and witty, filled with knowledge about the regions lore, geology, and weather, create a vivid portrait of wilderness and its denizens.
