When most people think of the making and developing of the Appalachian Trail for the past century, they think of Benton MacKaye and Myron Avery and a few other men. Yet throughout those ten decades, talented, strong, and effective women stood and worked right alongside them--not behind them. Indeed, the meeting that created the Appalachian Trail Conservancy in 1925 was entirely organized by one talented, strong, and effective woman. This is the story of leading lights among that corps of overlooked trail-builders.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Loose's writing is a deep dive into the lives of women who deserve as much recognition as Benton MacKaye and Myron Avery. Yes, those two men are at the top of the list of the dreamers and doers who made the Trail a reality, but as the title of the book implies, there are other names Trail enthusiasts should know. -- Anne Sentz ― A.T. Journeys

5.0 out of 5 stars For hikers, a well-researched history book about women who helped build the Appalachian Trail
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021
Verified Purchase
If you want to know more about the women who made their mark on building the Appalachian Trail, right along side the men who are known for it, this is a good "herstory" of their efforts. Three women in particular are featured
(Jean Stephenson, Ruth Blackburn and Margaret Drummond) , all of whom devoted their lives, talents, and energy to
making this the trail what it is and growing into leadership positions with the various entities that impact the AT . This is not a novel, but really a story of women who persevered in various capacities to support the vision of completing the Appalachian Trail.
