Nowadays it's no big deal or a girl to travel seventy-five miles. But
when Charlotte May Pierstorff wanted to cross seventy-five miles of
Idaho mountains to see her grandma in 1914, it was a very big deal
indeed. There was no highway except the railroad, 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 won spunk, her father's ingenuity, and the U.S. mail.
