Ilustration Concering 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.

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

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.



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.

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.

Exciting adventure poorly toldIt took a long time to determine the purpose of the book. It started out reading like a personal journal. He describes the scouts who made the trip, but the descriptions were brief and almost impossible to remember. Some of the trip description was interesting,but the writing was immature. He was trying to sound like a teenager, I guess. I never give up on a book and did read it to the end. It was a chore rather than something that I looked forward to. The trip was

The overarching story itself is compelling, but the author could have used an editor. Or a better editor if he has one. The book jumps from section to section without any semblance of continuity. Much of the story is "we did this, we did that, we saw this, he said that." I wanted to put the book down halfway through, but felt that I had invested so much time reading that I needed to power through.There were also basic typos and repeats of paragraphs in the Kindle edition. Not many, but enough

I really enjoyed the history, pictures and funny stories of the build up and journey of these 32 boy scouts but I did not care for the writing style. I felt there were some lags throughout the book but once the boys got on their journey you could look forward to the next state and what they would discover. Great book for any young child/adult who likes a little adventure, or a historian interested in the 32 boy scouts who rode from Illinois to Florida.
