DESCRIPTION

Emma Gatewood advised her household she was happening a stroll and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of garments and fewer than $200. The following anyone heard from her, this genteel, farm-reared, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles alongside the two,050-mile Appalachian Path. And in September 1955, atop Maine’s Mount Katahdin, she sang the primary verse of “America, the Lovely” and proclaimed, “I mentioned I will do it, and I’ve achieved it.” Grandma Gatewood, because the reporters known as her, turned the primary lady to hike your complete Appalachian Path alone, in addition to the primary individual – man or lady – to stroll it twice and thrice. The general public consideration she delivered to the little-known footpath was unprecedented. Her vocal criticism of the awful, troublesome stretches led to bolstered upkeep, and really probably saved the path from extinction.
