$65 · Offered by eBay

A remarkable piece of New Hampshire history: a collection of 17 vintage issues of Appalachia Journal, spanning the years 1981 through 1987. Established in 1876 by the Appalachian Mountain Club, Appalachia is America’s oldest journal of mountaineering and conservation. This specific 1980s run is packed with incredible content for the outdoor enthusiast, including in-depth chronicles of northeastern trails, winter ascents, alpine safety, historical route maps, and regional White Mountains folklore. What makes this specific collection truly extraordinary is its unique local provenance. These journals come directly from the estate of Bradford Boothby, deeply tied to the historic Ragged Mountain Fish & Game Club located in Potter Place (Andover, New Hampshire). The Ragged Mountain Fish & Game Club has been a cornerstone of New Hampshire’s outdoor heritage for generations, serving as a private sanctuary for those dedicated to hunting, fishing, conservation, and the rugged beauty of Merrimack County. This collection represents a beautiful intersection of a true New Hampshire outdoorsman’s private library and a legendary local institution. It is a rare opportunity for book collectors, history buffs, and hiking enthusiasts alike to own a piece of regional Granite State history. Please note these journals weigh 9lbs and do not qualify for media mail. No upcharges, you only pay exact weight based shipping.
