It’s a very good, short, easy read for young readers. A very touching piece of historical fiction. ( ) When Charlotte and her parents are riding inside a carriage that tumbles down an embankment, killing her parents, Charlotte is alone and placed in a children's home. Charlotte escapes by pretending to be a boy. All her attire from the rest of her life is that of a boy, then a man. Taking the name of Charlie Parkhurst, Charlotte is blinding in one eye by a kick from a horse. She always loved horses and has a way of working with them to calm them. The accident made her become more brave and taught her to continue to overcome adversity. Charlotte finds her friends from the home, and together they take passengers through the western areas of the United States. In her portrayal of a man, she gains confidence and those around her are safe in her care. Years later, she saves enough money to buy property. The most amazing thing is dressed as a man, she votes. And, thus became the first woman who ever voted. This book is based on the true-life story of the actual person who called herself Charlie. Once again, this is another young adult book that teaches history in a succinct, interesting manner. Recommended. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
