Book on Misadventures in the Northeast

Most harrowing hiking tales of danger and death take place in the distant Himalayas or in the western U.S. But a new book by Carol Stone brings misadventures closer to home here in the northeast. “Peak Experiences: Danger, Death, and Daring in the Mountains of the Northeast” recounts over fifty tales of adventures gone awry, and describes in detail how quickly a mis-step or poor decision can turn into a travesty. A good read on a quiet summer day.
