X-WR-CALDESC:Grandma Gatewood’s Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who 
 Saved the Appalachian Trail by Ben Montgomery (288 pages)\n\nEmma Gatewood
  told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown 
 with a change of clothes and less than two hundred dollars. The next anybo
 dy heard from her\, this genteel\, farm-reared\, sixty-seven-year-old grea
 t-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2\,050-mile Appalachian Trail
 . By September 1955 she stood atop Maine’s Mount Katahdin\, sang “America\
 , the Beautiful\,” and proclaimed\, “I said I’ll do it\, and I’ve done it.
 ”\nDriven by a painful marriage\, Grandma Gatewood not only hiked the trai
 l alone\, she was the first person—man or woman—to walk it twice and three
  times. At age seventy-one\, she hiked the 2\,000-mile Oregon Trail. Gatew
 ood became a hiking celebrity\, and appeared on TV with Groucho Marx and A
 rt Linkletter. The public attention she brought to the trail was unprecede
 nted. Her vocal criticism of the lousy\, difficult stretches led to bolste
 red maintenance\, and very likely saved the trail from extinction.\nAuthor
  Ben Montgomery interviewed surviving family members and hikers Gatewood m
 et along the trail\, unearthed historic newspaper and magazine articles\, 
 and was given full access to Gatewood’s own diaries\, trail journals\, and
  correspondence. Grandma Gatewood’s Walk shines a fresh light on one of Am
 erica’s most celebrated hikers. \n\n
