What information I could find seems to suggest that it was an effort to
publicize and promote the trail rather than an account of a hike on it.
Torrey, along with Myron Avery was one of the early movers and shakers
behind the AT and Myron is recognized as the 1st 2000 miler. In any case
this was during the initial phases of laying out and building. There was no
continuous trail yet in 1924. The book would be an interesting read though.
Too bad someone doesn't release it as a PDF.
