I 'm sure most people remember Colin Fletcher "the father of modern backpacking". I'm excited about a new biography of Colin titled Walking Man - The Secret Life of Colin Fletcher by Dr Robert Wehrman. I was privileged to read a draft of the book and I must admit that it is the best biography I've ever read. It was like reading a work of fiction rather than some dry biography thanks in large part to the resources available to Dr Wehrman such as Colin's publisher and close friends plus the almost daily notes kept by Colin over the course of his life.
In order to get this 518 page book published Dr Wehrman has started a Kickstarter project. I've been a subscriber to Backpacker from almost the beginning of the publication (yes,that was a long time ago!) And I feel this should be on every hiker/backpacker's list of books to read but the only way it can happen is if we support the project on Kickstarter. Look up the title Walking Man - The Secret Life of Colin Fletcher on Kickstarter for more information and give Dr Wehrman your support.
