Relatively new, I had not seen reviews on this Ben Montgomery's book . It appeared in the featured section of my local library. Having read over the years many comments about the mythical walking Grandma I have now a new deep respect for her as a person not just as an inspirational hiker. What a life !!! Get it if you can : BTW, if you have read the somewhat flippant Bill Bryson comment about her in his Walk In The Woods, this book sets the record straight. (I like Mr Bryson, I have several of his books)
