Book Description
Moir's Guide South is well established as the standard route guide for all tramping tracks and routes in Fiordland National Park and adjacent areas. This is primarily a tramping guide to the valleys and passes; climbing in the Fiordland area is covered in The Darrans Guide (see Mountaineering Guides). Moir's Guide can be likened to Hone Heke's famous axe which had two new heads and three new handles. This sixth edition of Moir's Guide is the result of cumulative efforts by eight different editors and countless contributors over the last 70 years. Moir's Guide Book (Southern Section) was first published in 1925 and ever since has been recognised as the classic guide to the back-packing, tramping and hunting areas of Fiordland and now the Eyre, Snowdon and Takitimu Mountains. This completely revised and updated sixth edition describes every known track and route in these areas including New Zealands most famous walking tracks - the Milford, Routeburn, Hollyford, Greenstone-Caples, and Kepler Tracks. The less well known but equally spectacular Dusky and George Sound Tracks are also covered.The route and track descriptions are matched to the levels of experience parties are likely to have. For the popular tracks the information provided should enable those with little experience to find their way while those travelling through more challenging country will find the route descriptions indispensible. Moir's Guide South also contains essential advice on bushcraft, how to travel through untracked country following deer trails, and what to do should the party become overdue. It concludes with a glossary of New Zealand outdoor terms and a comprehensive index.

Twelve Days in May
Author: Larry Dane Brimner
Publisher: Boyds Mills Press
ISBN: 1629799173
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award Winner “An engaging and accessible account” for young readers about the Freedom Riders who led the landmark 1961 protests against segregation on buses (School Library Journal) On May 4, 1961, a group of thirteen black and white civil rights activists launched the Freedom Ride, aiming to challenge the practice of segregation on buses and at bus terminal facilities in the South. The Ride would last twelve days. Despite the fact that segregation on buses crossing state lines was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1946, and segregation in interstate transportation facilities was ruled unconstitutional in 1960, these rulings were routinely ignored in the South. The thirteen Freedom Riders intended to test the laws and draw attention to the lack of enforcement with their peaceful protest. As the Riders traveled deeper into the South, they encountered increasing violence and opposition. Noted civil rights author Larry Dane Brimner relies on archival documents and rarely seen images to tell the riveting story of the little-known first days of the Freedom Ride.
