THE TRAIL OF MY LIFE:
The Story of Gene Espy
The Second Recorded
Thru-Hiker of the
Appalachian Trail
The riveting book, The Trail of My Life: The Gene Espy Story, showcases Gene Espy’s life full of adventures including hiking, bicycling, spelunking, boating and motorcycling. From an early age, this Eagle Scout, Georgia Tech graduate, and U.S. Air Force aerospace engineer explored the world around him just for fun.
The highlight was Gene's 1951 Georgia to Maine solo thru-hike of the entire Appalachian Trail, a feat virtually untested. As the second recorded AT thru-hiker, he encountered much more solitude, wilderness, and difficulties in his hike than today’s hikers.
Gene Espy's inspiring story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power of the human spirit. Let his experiences inspire you to enjoy the outdoors and conquer your own challenges.
