Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#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.

Insights from Chapter 1

#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.

#5

The Appalachian region was inhabited by a tough and resilient population that was largely cut off from the outside world. They were proud people, and they resisted government intervention. When taxes grew unjust, they struck out with rakes, rebellion, and secrecy.

#6

Some places were welcoming, but not all. Emma had to find a place to stay overnight, and she tried to do that by asking for shelter from the woman who owned the house. But the man on the porch was suspicious.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Emma had told no one about her plans to hike the Appalachian Trail that year. She’d failed the year before, and she was afraid her family would try to stop her. She hadn’t even told them about the year before, when she’d hiked the trail alone.

#2

The Appalachian Trail was a wonder of the outdoorsman’s world, and Emma had wanted to hike its entire length. She didn’t tell anyone what she was planning to do, and gathered what she thought she could not live without.

#3

Emma set out to hike the Appalachian Trail, but she took a wrong turn and ended up in the wilderness. She was lost for two days, until she heard an airplane and waved a white cloth to try to flag it down. She was out of food and almost out of hope, but she still had some strength left.
