WORLDWIDE The inspiring story of the woman who saved the appalachian trail At the age of 67, Emma Gatewood, a normal woman who spent most of her life on a farm, left her small Ohio hometown with just a change of clothes and fewer than two hundred dollars. She had walked 800 miles to the 2,000-mile Appalachian Trail. In September 1955, having survived a rattlesnake bite, two hurricanes, and a run-in with gangsters, Emma - who had suffered from a painful marriage with the abusive husband - stood atop Maine's Mount Katahdin. She became the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trai l alone. Grandma Gatewood's Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail records Emma Gatewood's journey - a story of triumph over pain, rebellion from brutality, and hope against suffering.
