Shenandoah Secrets

What a fascinating book! My wife and I visited Shenandoah National Park on the 4th of July and picked up this book as we entered the park. Imagine having a tour guide with you on your journey, a tour guide who has seen and experienced the last two hundred years of the Shenandoah...The book is divided into three parts:I - Through the Gaps, organized as you travel from east to west.II - Along the Drive, the largest of the three sections, describing the sights you'll encounter on Skyland Drive.III - Beside the Trails, not a hiking guide, but background information about places and sights along the trail.As we drove along Skyland Drive, we found several places of interest that were written about in the book. It was better than having a tour guide. This isn't just history, it's the stories, the legends of this wonderful part of the country that you won't get anywhere else. Whether you've already been to the Shenandoah, planning to go, or never plan to go, this is a fascinating book, filled with many strange and interesting photos. Somebody sure did their homework.
