DuPont Forest: A History

ISBN: 978-1-4671-4688-3 $21.99 | 208pp. | from The History Press (2020)

DuPont Forest protects thousands of acres of trees, five lakes and more than one hundred miles of multiuse trails. It attracts hikers, equestrians and mountain bikers from all over the United States, and its six waterfalls have been featured in movies like The Hunger Games and The Last of the Mohicans.

All of this natural beauty is easily accessible, increasing its appeal.

It took not only the generosity of a multinational company but also Southern Appalachian grit and self-reliance and local activism to make these benefits available to all. DuPont Forest is young, and its future is still unfolding.

Author and hiker Danny Bernstein traces the past of DuPont
State Recreational Forest and shows its potential.
