Raymond H. Torrey
Raymond Hezekiah Torrey (July 15, 1880 – July 15, 1938) was the author of weekly columns, ''Outings'' and ''The Long Brown Path'' in the ''New York Evening Post'' in the 1920s and 1930s. The column played a major role in the development of the Appalachian Trail, the Long Path and the popularity of hiking generally. He was a founding member of the New York–New Jersey Trail Conference and one of the authors of the first edition of the ''New York Walk Book''. He had extensive scientific knowledge, writing about everything from the short-billed marsh wren to marine fossils and lichens; he could identify over 700 plants. He was secretary of the Association for the Preservation of the Adirondacks, and also secretary of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society.
==Early life==
Born in Georgetown, Massachusetts, where his father was a sea captain, he began a career in journalism in newspapers in the Berkshires first, but soon moved to New York City. In 1903 he started at the ''New York American'', then moved to the ''Tribune'' and finally the ''Evening Post'' (today the ''New York Post'') in 1918. He became involved in the New York hiking scene at a time when the forests and mountains of the Hudson Highlands were relatively unknown but interest in the outdoors was increasing and city hiking clubs were coming into existence.
