Introducing New MSI Press Affiliated Book: Walks Far Man: In Step with History on the Pacific Crest Trail (Ostdick)
Review from MSI Press editor:
The Powerful Narrative of Walks Far Man Won't Let You Walk Away without Finishing it
As someone who shared vicariously in the 1000-mile trek taken by my husband and son along the Appalachian Trail years ago, I found Jim Ostdick's book first-rate. The tips to hikers, if taken to heart, will bring meaningful hiking experiences. The book is much more than a trail description and hiker’s guide, however. Historians and anthropologists will find rare details, impeccable research, highly useful references, and unusually rich cultural descriptions from Ostdick’s deep dive into the native-populations’ worlds through which he walked with reverence, if not love. Well written by a master story teller, compelling turns of phrase and a colloquial style pull the reader into the narrative and won’t let go until the story is finished—a story that combines land and people, history and philosophy, and spirituality into a mathemagenic tome that both entertains and provokes deep thought and rumination.
A shout-out to the artist for a beautiful cover design.
