2013 marks the 20th anniversary of the Ned Smith Center, and as part of the celebration, the Center is publishing Gone for Another Day, a sequel to Ned Smith’s beloved Gone for the Day, now in its eleventh printing. Readers are taken through the seasons among the mountains and river valleys of Pennsylvania, as well as to excursions to some of the wildest parts of North America. Gone for Another Day is drawn from Ned Smith’s 46 years of original, previously unpublished field journals, and is illustrated with scores of his previously unpublished sketches, drawings, and paintings.
