Ilustration To Books Trail of 32: The True Story of a Youthful Spirit That Knew Not of Defeat

THE ASTONISHING, TRUE STORY of a group of thirty-two boys and leaders who accomplished an amazing feat in 1972, when they rode their bicycles from Wood Dale, Illinois to Jacksonville, Florida.

The 1960's and early 70's were a simpler time--a common sense two-pedal world with realistic adventures, and everyday heroes. In the summer of 1972, an innocence was lost when twenty-six young boys in a small rural town set out to accomplish something bigger than themselves. Their journey of nearly 1,400 miles would take them through eight states, crossing over the Great Smoky Mountains. It was a tremendous achievement--one that would be hailed as the longest organized bike hike in the history of Scouting.

Judgment Regarding Books Trail of 32: The True Story of a Youthful Spirit That Knew Not of Defeat

I didn't know if I would be able to finish this book. Sometimes it seemed like he wasn't really writing about the bike trip. My kindle version had several misspellings as well as several times when whole paragraphs would repeat. This was a little distracting. I did enjoy the last part of the book & overall I'm glad I stuck with it.

An adventurous undertaking.Kind of thick on the sniveling awe and trust of authority. Not a good mix with the pompous comparisons betwixt this stalwart group and the video hooked toads of today. How does this inspire? Where in the sacred Scout oath do I find the justification for puffing yourself up at the expense of others? It was a good trip except for the unrelenting pontification.

Admire the accomplishment of these 11-15 year old scouts, but not the book. It was too long, too slow and too repetitive. Do not understand the high ratings or the over the top reviews.

This is a fun, true story about a Boy Scout troop that biked from Chicago, IL to Jacksonville, FL. in 1972. As I grew up during this time period, I can remember and relate to the style of living back then. It is a great story of coming of age and learning about life through this incredible journey.

Although certainly not an outstanding literary read, I was never-the-less absorbed in this tremendous achievement by a group of 32 scouts. Having been a Boy Scout myself, I enjoyed the background of Paul and the troop as well as the day to day experience and endurance of completing a bicycle trip from Illinois to Florida, some 1200+ miles.Minor irritations of consistent grammatical errors (i.e. "road the bike" was the worst) were to be had, but overall the storyline made up for them.

GoodA story of a simpler time in America when all things were possible. The life lessons learned...self reliance, dedication to an idea, and planning to make that idea feasible. A good story.

Mr Rega, I really enjoyed your book! Reliving some of the times past when neighbors looked out for each other was kind of sad. The bike trip was amazing and I loved reading about all the experiences. Scouting is such a great organization its a shame its not more prevalent I guess that is another sign of the times. It would keep the kids out of trouble to have something to focus on like this.
