Peace Pilgrim (July 18, 1908 – July 7, 1981) born Mildred Lisette Norman, was an American non-denominational spiritual teacher,〔Reichenberg-Ullman, Judyth; Robert Ullman, Dalai Lama (2001), Mystics, Masters, Saints, and Sages: Stories of Enlightenment, Ocean Tree Books, ISBN 1-57324-507-0.〕 mystic,〔Reichenberg-Ullman, Judyth; Robert Ullman, Dalai Lama (2001), Mystics, Masters, Saints, and Sages: Stories of Enlightenment, Ocean Tree Books, ISBN 1-57324-507-0.〕 pacifist,〔Reichenberg-Ullman, Judyth; Robert Ullman, Dalai Lama (2001), Mystics, Masters, Saints, and Sages: Stories of Enlightenment, Ocean Tree Books, ISBN 1-57324-507-0.〕 vegetarian activist〔Reichenberg-Ullman, Judyth; Robert Ullman, Dalai Lama (2001), Mystics, Masters, Saints, and Sages: Stories of Enlightenment, Ocean Tree Books, ISBN 1-57324-507-0.〕 and peace activist.〔Reichenberg-Ullman, Judyth; Robert Ullman, Dalai Lama (2001), Mystics, Masters, Saints, and Sages: Stories of Enlightenment, Ocean Tree Books, ISBN 1-57324-507-0.〕 In 1952, she became the first woman to walk the entire length of the Appalachian Trail in one season. She also walked across the United States at least eight times, and likely more than 20 times.〔 〕 Starting on January 1, 1953, in Pasadena, California, she adopted the name "Peace Pilgrim" and walked across the United States for 28 years. A transcript of a 1964 conversation with Peace Pilgrim from a broadcast on KPFK radio in Los Angeles, California, was published as "Steps Toward Inner Peace". She stopped counting miles in that year, having walked more than for peace. ==Early life== Mildred Lisette Norman was born on a poultry farm in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey, in 1908, the oldest of three children. Her mother, Josephine Marie Ranch, was a tailor, and her father, Ernest Norman, a carpenter. Although poor, the family were admired in a community of German immigrants, whose relatives originally settled the area after escaping Germany in 1855.〔Daniels, 2005, p.564.〕 In 1933 she eloped with Stanley Ryder and moved to Philadelphia in 1939. They divorced in 1946.〔(Biography )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peace Pilgrim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
