Who & When The Appalachian Trail was the "brainchild" of Benton MacKaye, educated as a forester, who proposed connecting thread of already existing trails. 1921 he published his idea. www.assignmentpoint.com

Who & When On August 14, 1937, the Appalachian Trail became a reality. 1938, however, the trail was no longer continuous. A hurricane destroyed much of it in New England. The first person to walk the whole trail or do a “thru hike” was Earl Shaffer. www.assignmentpoint.com

Who and When National Trails System Act, adopted late in 1968, made for a series of "national scenic trails" within the national park and forest systems. The Appalachian Trail was the first trail to fall under this Act. www.assignmentpoint.com
