Description
Nowadays it's no big deal for a girl to travel seventy-five miles. But when Charlotte May Pierstorff wanted to cross the Idaho mountains to see her grandma in 1914, the railroad was the only way to get there, and a train ticket would have cost her parents a full day's pay. Here is the true story of how May got to visit her grandma, thanks to her own spunk, her father's clever plan, and the U.S. mail.
