N4L 041: "Grandma Gatewood’s Walk" by Ben Montgomery

Grandma Gatewood’s Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail is the sensational true account of Emma Gatewood, the first woman to hike the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) Ben Montgomery, Gatewood’s blood relative and now Pulitzer-Prize-winning reporter, bases his New York Times bestseller on personal diaries, trail journals, newspaper articles, and countless personal interviews. We learn that Emma Gatewood “through-hiked” the Appalachian Trail not once but twice, and then a third time in sections—all after the age of 65 and each time alone. Literally and figuratively a trailblazer, Emma Gatewood provided vocal criticism that drew the necessary attention which very likely saved the A.T. from extinction.
