Abstract:

Joe Hartley claimed to have walked more miles than anyone history. In his ninety-five-year life-span, Hartley calculated his mileage to be more than 200,000. Hartley founded \"Singing On The Mountain\" at Grandfather Mountain and wrote WALKING FOR HEALTH AND TRAVELING TO ETERNITY. He was a public speaker, a farmer, a market gardener, a sheep and cattle drover, an ice cutter, a nursery caretaker, a fish and game protector, a fire warden, and a trail and fire lane builder.
