Grandma Gatewood’s Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail
Ben Montgomery tells the story of Emma Gatewood, who in 1955, at age 67, became the first woman to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail — in sneakers, with a homemade bag. She did it twice more. The story behind the legend is tougher than the legend.
