Essay On Appalachian Trail

Miners, Millhands, and Mountaineers by R.D. Eller is a story that discredits the myths surrounding the people that live in the Appalachian Mountains.

In the beginning of the film Butch and Sundance encounter many situations that could have turned into a big shooting scene but they don’t. An example of this is when they were being chased down, and instead of confronting them and having it turn into a big fight, they instead flea to Bolivia where they won’t be tracked.
