 | The Great Eastern Trail - Between SR 55/US 48 and I-64
(First edition, 2018). Our newest publication is the first guidebook to the 200 miles-plus of the Great Eastern Trail between SR55/US 48 and White Sulphur Springs, WV (I-64) in West Virginia and Virginia. The Great Eastern Trail, known as the GET, is a 1800 mile long trail leading from Alabama to New York made up of local trails linked to form a longer path; it parallels to the Appalachian Trail and in many ways is modelled after it, but set farther west and south. The trails making up the sections of the GET covered in this guidebook include part of the Allegheny Trail and part of the Tuscarora Trail. Between these trails is the Headwaters Section, a series of different Forest Service trails and roads largely on Shenandoah Mountain and North Mountain. Work towards completion of the GET, organized from the local trail clubs in 2007, is ongoing. Progress on the trail and trail updates can be followed in the newsletters found at www.greateasterntrail.net.

 | The Dean Mountain Story
$8.00 for members, $10.00 for non-members. The Dean Mountain Story began in England in the mid-1750s when two brothers, John and William Deane, boarded a Dutch ship and sailed to Pennsylvania. From there the brothers traveled south to Orange County, Virginia, and settled east of the North Mountain, now known as the Blue Ridge.
Little is known of John's and William's lives, but Rockingham County records show that in 1816 James Dean, son of John (who had dropped the "e" from his name), married Susanne Harness. In the early 1820s, Susanne and the couple's two young daughters died in an epidemic, leaving James and his son Jeremiah alone.
In 1824 James married his second wife, Sarah Monger, and built a lovely two-story brick house for her in the valley beside Elk Run.
The story of how James and Sarah Dean and their children left the valley and lived out their lives on Dean Mountain, now a part of Shenandoah National Park, has been reconstructed from family folklore and records in the family Bible. A fascinating look at life in the mountains before the Park.

 | Shenandoah Secrets: The Story of the Park's Hidden Past
$12.80 for members $16.00 for non-members. (Revised 2011 ) The authors point out significant and interesting events that transpired within what is now the boundaries of the Shenandoah National Park before it was a park. What secrets lie hidden in the Park's forests and briery tangles? What fascinating all-but-forgotten incidents took place inside its boundaries?
Today, Shenandoah National Park is, in the words of an old mountain woman, "a play place for city folk." But that was not always the case. Before it was a Park, it was home to nearly 500 families in more than 300 square miles of Virginia countryside — a microcosm of an earlier America.
Industry, agriculture, commerce, war with its military actions, political decisions, community, church, and family life—all these have left their mark here. As time passes, these marks grow fainter. The Reeders have kept their memories alive through the words of this book.
The authors have collected and published many photographs gleaned from the files of history, some of which were published for the first time. They are candid in their realism and their articulation of life as it was in the past, before the arrival of the artificial "wilderness" created by the formation of the Park.
It is many of these same photos that have caused the Park's cultural resource mavens to ban Secrets from being sold in the Park because they depict a period in American history when poverty was prevalent, not only within the confines of current Park boundaries, but in much of rural and urban American. The Depression affected millions of people everywhere, not just in SNP. Within the mountain culture, no one was ashamed to be poor because people cared for each other. No one went hungry.
The book's rare and unusual photos depict some of the only interior shots of mountain homes, as well as cabins, schools, mills and other industry, recreation, farm life, animals, and the admirable Appalachian ethics and way of life. Complementing the photos are anecdotes straight from the former inhabitants (some quite humorous), as well as carefully researched events going back to before the founding of the nation. Where possible, these events are tied to the sites where they occurred within the Park, along the roads, the trails, and through the gaps.

 | Memories of a Lewis Mountain Man
$8.00 for members, $10.00 for non-members. (1993) John Stoneberger, who always referred to himself as a "moutaineer and hillbilly", wanted later generations to know about the people who lived in that part of the Blue Ridge Mountains (now part of Shenandoah National Park) where his family had lived during the first third of this century. These are his reminiscences and ancedotes of his family and neighbors, mountain customs (feasts, moonshine, music), the first church, and the first school. Stoneberger beautifully captures a time and place of hard work, simple virtues, and love of mountain life.

 | Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park Trail Guide
$6.40 for members, $8.00 for non-members. (2004) 62pp. This full-color guide on coated paper provides maps to the 45-mile-long Washington and Old Dominion Trail, a "rails to trails" project. Originally, the W&OD was a railroad established in 1859 that ran trains over the line until 1968. When the railroad closed down, Virginia Electric and Power bought the right-of-way and installed high-tension wires to served the growing populace of Northern Virginia. In 1977, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority negotiated an agreement with Virginia Power to purchase the right-of-way in stages. In 1982, the NVRPA bought the last segment (though VA Power still maintains an easement for their lines). The route is paved in asphalt, making it ideal for bike riding, roller blading, and other sports that require a smooth surface. The NVRPA also added a number of improvements, including interpretive boards, waysides, drinking fountains, and landscaping. While the paved trail can be a little hard on the feet for hiking, it's still an interesting route worthy of exploration, running from Arlington, VA (where it connects to the Mt. Vernon Bike Path) west to Purcellville, VA (12 miles south of Harpers Ferry)

 | Geology along Skyline Drive
$13.56 for members, $16.95 for non-members. Skyline Drive stretches for 105 miles along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Shenandoah National Park. For the length of the drive, rock formations by the road and on mountainsides provide clues to the dramatic history of this area. Badger's easy-to-read book tells the story of these rock formations and of much of the magnificent scenery viewed from the Drive. With the help of color photos, maps, diagrams, and sidebars, the book does more than give a wealth of information: it is a truly fascinating read.
