Alice Ramsey's Grand Adventure | Don Brown

1 post | 1 read

Don Brown introduces us to yet another little-known heroine. On June 9, 1909, twenty-two-year-old Alice Ramsey hitched up her skirts and climbed behind the wheel of a Maxwell touring car. Fifty-nine days later she rolled into San Francisco, becoming the first woman to drive across America. What happened in between is quite a tale! Through words and pictures, the author shares this story of a brave and tenacious young woman who followed her vision to conquer the open road - even when the road was nothing more than a wagon trail. Alice Ramsey's adventure offers a unique perspective on turn-of-the-century America and pays tribute to the pioneering spirit that helped create it.

Alice Ramsey's Grand Adventure | Don Brown

pick

Charming picture book about 22-year-old #AliceRamsey and her 1909 59-day drive cross country from NYC to San Francisco in a Maxwell touring car. She became the first woman to drive across the US (accompanied by her friend squad!). I wish there had been more information about Alice and her life at the end, as some picture books include. Written and illustrated by #DonBrown.
