[at-l] Bryson question

[AHuthmaker@aol.com (AHuthmaker@aol.com)]

Weary said...."It's a lousy book because it is a fake account, a product of 
his imagination, library research, and a summer of driving around the 
Appalachians, taking an occasional day hike.."
       
       Is this true?  I enjoyed the book............I don't assume that it 
has any true hiking advice in it, therefore I don't hold it accountable for 
maintaining a certain amount of AT ethics that so many think it 
should........but...............is it true that he made it all up?  Inquiring 
minds want to know! *S*  Anna (Mud Butt)
