Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2014 National Outdoor Book Awards for History/Biography Emma 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 anybody heard from her, this genteel, farm-reared, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955, having survived a rattlesnake strike, two hurricanes, and a run-in with gangsters from Harlem, she stood atop Maine's Mount Katahdin. There she sang the first verse of "America, the Beautiful" and proclaimed, "I said I'll do it, and I've done it." Grandma Gatewood, as the reporters called her, became the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail alone, as well as the first person—man or woman—to walk it twice and three times. Gatewood became a hiking celebrity and appeared on TV and in the pages of Sports Illustrated. The public attention she brought to the little-known footpath was unprecedented. Her vocal criticism of the lousy, difficult stretches led to bolstered maintenance, and very likely saved the trail from extinction. Author Ben Montgomery was given unprecedented access to Gatewood's own diaries, trail journals, and correspondence, and interviewed surviving family members and those she met along her hike, all to answer the question so many asked: Why did she do it? The story of Grandma Gatewood will inspire readers of all ages by illustrating the full power of human spirit and determination. Even those who know of Gatewood don't know the full story—a story of triumph from pain, rebellion from brutality, hope from suffering.

Download or read book The Lady of the House written by Katherine Elberfeld and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TO FACE THE FUTURE, A WIDOW MUST FIRST FACE HER PAST In flashbacks and memories, Annie, the middle-aged narrator of Katherine Elberfeld's debut novel, The Lady of the House, revisits her childhood and adolescence in small-town southern America. Her memories are gentle at first, as she recalls her baby doll, Rosalyn Ann, and the kindly family maid, Lula. She remembers her parents, Maggie and Mac, sitting on the porch of their house in Moberly, Georgia. She recalls squabbling with Cat, the brother she adored. She vividly remembers the first time she saw Danny Haygood, the red-headed boy she would later love fiercely...and her childhood pal Herndon and his turtle, Henry...and tedious visits with Madame LeNoir, a widow cooped up in a dark stuffy house. It was a typical childhood for a southern minister's daughter, but as in all childhoods there were undercurrents of struggle. Her meek father could not stand up to his own mother, Annie's stern, disapproving grandmother. As an adolescent, Annie was admired by two boys: Danny, the lusty and impetuous, cigarette-smoking outsider; and the stolid Pearce, grown sensible before his time. Granny had her say in the matter, and Granny spoke for propriety. Annie turned Danny away, a decision that has haunted her ever since. Now, years later, Pearce has died, leaving Annie to face her future alone. Her wise mother has also died. Even Annie's daughter, Maggie, and her brother, Cat, cannot give Annie the strength she needs. She knows, now, that she must nurture herself and nourish herself. She must be the lady of her own house. The Lady of the House is a stylistic novel that shows the turbulent mind of a child, a girl, and a woman at the crisis points of her life. These vivid scenes, the antiphonal voices of past and present, the emotional power of the mother's funeral, and the book's symbolic resolution place Katherine Elberfeld in the rich tradition of southern American writers.

Download or read book Woman Walk the Line written by Holly Gleason and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2017-09-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full-tilt, hardcore, down-home, and groundbreaking, the women of country music speak volumes with every song. From Maybelle Carter to Dolly Parton, k.d. lang to Taylor Swift—these artists provided pivot points, truths, and doses of courage for women writers at every stage of their lives. Whether it’s Rosanne Cash eulogizing June Carter Cash or a seventeen-year-old Taylor Swift considering the golden glimmer of another precocious superstar, Brenda Lee, it’s the humanity beneath the music that resonates. Here are deeply personal essays from award-winning writers on femme fatales, feminists, groundbreakers, and truth tellers. Acclaimed historian Holly George Warren captures the spark of the rockabilly sensation Wanda Jackson; Entertainment Weekly’s Madison Vain considers Loretta Lynn’s girl-power anthem “The Pill”; and rocker Grace Potter embraces Linda Ronstadt’s unabashed visual and musical influence. Patty Griffin acts like a balm on a post-9/11 survivor on the run; Emmylou Harris offers a gateway through paralyzing grief; and Lucinda Williams proves that greatness is where you find it. Part history, part confessional, and part celebration of country, Americana, and bluegrass and the women who make them, Woman Walk the Line is a very personal collection of essays from some of America’s most intriguing women writers. It speaks to the ways in which artists mark our lives at different ages and in various states of grace and imperfection—and ultimately how music transforms not just the person making it, but also the listener.
