Brochure from the Green Mountain Club, which pioneered The Long Trail, the oldest continuous footpath in the United States. "Vermont’s Long Trail follows the main ridge of the Green Mountains from the Massachusetts-Vermont line to the Canadian border. Built between 1910 and 1930, it was the vision of James P. Taylor and later became the inspiration for the Appalachian Trail." - Green Mountain Club. This 1924 5th Edition predates the completion of the full trail, and includes new maps of Mansfield, Killington regions, and north of Johnson. "The Green Mountain Club exists to bring people to the Green Mountains and to make the Green Mountains accessible to the people. It builds and maintains trails, especially The Long Trail and its approaches; it conduts a campaign of publicity through the press and by means of lectures illustrated with lantern slides." An interesting piece of Vermont history, recreation, hiking and tourism promotion, containing hiking tips, detailed maps and routes, camping and sleeping options, period regional advertising, and a membership application for the Green Mountain Club.
