Two men, both in their early 50s, undertook a hike along the fabled Mahoosuc Range of northern New Hampshire in the summer of 1966. One of them, Daniel Doan, is the author of this story of their week-long adventure. The other, Doctor Claud Sharps, a Laconia veterinarian, was Doan's old friend and hiking companion from childhood. "Our Last Backpack" recounts their encounters along the trail, Doan's growing awareness of his own physical limitations and the clash of cultures between two old-fashioned mountain men and the new age of "backpacking." The book is also a testament to a deep and abiding friendship between two utterly different personalities who shared a profound love of the woods.
