Chicago Review Press, Incorporated · 2016 · 288 pages

In 1955, a sixty-seven-year-old grandmother embarked on an audacious solo trek along the entire Appalachian Trail, armed with little more than determination. Her journey, driven by a desire for escape, not only made her a national celebrity but also sparked a movement that revitalized the very path she walked. This biography reveals the incredible spirit of Emma Gatewood, a woman whose resilience and advocacy ensured the future of one of America's most beloved natural treasures.
