A Grip on the Mane of Life: 
An Authorized Biography of 
Earl V. Shaffer

The book describes Earl as one of the three most important people in the history of the Appalachian Trail:

“He ranks with those other legendary trail personages: Benton MacKaye and Myron Avery. MacKaye gave birth to the concept; Avery took the concept and built a trail from it; and Shaffer demonstrated the potential of the finished product.”
