Charlotte, East Woods Press, 1982. Her first book: a journal of her thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, over two summers, partly alone, and partly with two separate female hiking partners. With 120 illustrations by the author. Warmly inscribed by Ross to a close friend, and with a blurb by Annie Dillard. Extrapolating from the Appalachian Trail's website for data from the 1980s, there were likely fewer than two dozen successful female thru-hikers on the trail with Ross in those two years. An oblong softcover, with text in cursive. Partly sunned; near fine. [#036594] $250
