Up On Cove Mountain by Virginia author Earl Swift

Memoir / True Crime, hardback, $32.50

Daytime group meets: Monday, October 12th at 1:00pm

Up on Cove Mountain is the arresting account of Swift’s 2024 trek through the AT’s enduring wonders and the ghosts of its past, a chronicle of swashbuckling adventure coupled with a meditation on the nature of risk and the risks of nature.

“Hiking the 2200 miles of the Appalachian Trail is an arduous adventure. Earl Swift did it as a young man, and it changed his life. But, a double murder along the way still haunts him. Thirty-five years later, he returned to the trail to rediscover lost youth and to search for answers. A fascinating story and a helluva book. - author John Grisham
