  This question is sort of for Earthworm but others might have info as well.

  When Earl Shaffer published "Walking with Spring" it was a long time after his
  1948 hike. His first attempt was to self-publish and then later the ATC helped
  to do a reprint of his original. So the answer isn't "Earl".

  What was the first book, published widely, to contain an account of hiking the
  entire Appalachian Trail?

  The Rodale 2-volume set was issued in 1975.

  Earl's book was published privately in 1981. My copy is the ATC version from
  1983.

  Sutton, Ann & Myron "The Appalachian Trail: Wilderness on the Doorstep" was
  published in 1967... So perhaps Sutton?

  Curiously, RockDancer (who now has time to ask questions now that he's back home
  in Mass.)
