In this episode 196, we visit with Danny Bernstein, author of DuPont Forest: A History, a celebration of the natural beauty of DuPont Forest and the journey that local activists and the DuPont corporation underwent to protect it.

Filled with compelling personal interviews, interactive hiking guides, beautiful photos, and thoroughly researched history, hiker and author Danny Bernstein showcases the deep resilience and determination of Southern Appalachia.

A review in the Smoky Mountain News had this to say about the book: “At the heart of Bernstein’s book are stories. Not stories pulled from a textbook or a magazine or even from old letters and journals, but rather stories gathered one by one from personal conversations with the people who lived them.”
