review 1: I've been trying to walk more, so this book is a great motivator. Feeling ready to stop after 3 miles? PSHAW. People can do 25 in a day, this is nothing. Why not double your effort? As for the content: fascinating chapter of sadly obscure history. These women were an inspiration and had the adventure of a lifetime. I wish I could have met them, but I quite enjoyed their fictionalized personalities and all the exciting things that happened over the course of the trip. It's a shame their own written accounts were lost, so the next best thing will be reading everything else I can find about them.
review 2: I have read every book on the Helga and Clara Estby story of walking across America to try to save the farm in Mica Wa. Linda Hunt with her book Bold Spirit, ... morewhich documented the journey and won many awards. This is mostly fictionalized written by a great grand daughter Carole Dagg. This is her first book and I thought she did an excellent job, it is written easy enough for pre teens to read. Never boring. less
