## Resource

It had been exhausting. It had been challenging. But Emma Gatewood refused to give up on her dream to solo thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. So? She kept going. As she hiked, media outlets chronicled her journey. They dubbed her Grandma Gatewood. When she finished, Emma became the first woman to solo thru-hike the 2,168 mile Appalachian Trail. But Grandma Gatewood’s hiking days were far from finished. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Brown, Andrew. “Skyline Trail from Maine to Georgia.” National Geographic , August 1949. Huston, Peter, dir. Trail Magic: The Grandma Gatewood Story . 2015. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/237744 . Montgomery, Ben. Grandma Gatewood’s Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail .
