original book. Book Preview: #1 Emma Gatewood was 67 years
old when she set off to hike the Appalachian Trail in
1955. She was five feet two and weighed 150 pounds, and
had no survival training. She was blind without her
glasses, and she was utterly unprepared if she faced the
wrath of a snowstorm. #2 Emma Gatewood was prepared for
her hike. She had worked at a nursing home and saved her
twenty-five-dollar-a-week paycheck until she earned enough
quarters to draw the minimum in social security: fifty-two
dollars a month. She had started walking in January while
living with her son Nelson in Dayton, Ohio. #3 She was a
Cherokee woman who had lost her husband in the war. She
never spoke about the town that kept dark secrets, or the
night she spent in a jail cell. She told people she was a
widow. #4 The Appalachian Mountains are beautiful and
rugged. They were formed more than a billion years ago by
metamorphic and igneous rock. The people who stayed lived
by ax and plow and gun. They grew beets and tomatoes,
pumpkins and squash, field peas and carrots."--|cProvided
