Requests:  2 Summary:  1954: Annie Wilkins, a sixty-three-year-old farmer from Maine, had no relatives, lost her family farm to back taxes, and her doctor had just given her two years to live. She decided she wanted to see the Pacific Ocean just once before she died. Buying a cast-off brown gelding she donned men's dungarees, loaded up her horse, and headed out from Maine in mid-November, hoping to beat the snow. She had no map, no GPS, no phone, just an unfailing belief that Americans would treat a stranger with kindness. For two years Annie, her horse Tarzan, and her dog, Depeche Toi, journeyed more than 4,000 miles, through America's big cities and small towns, meeting ordinary people and celebrities, trudging through blizzards, and fording rivers. Letts describes how Wilkins captured the imagination of an apprehensive Cold War America. -- adapted from publisher info   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 636.10092 Wilkins Le Transit Request Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.10092 Wilkins Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.10092 Wilkins Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.10092 Wilkins Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.10092 Wilkins Le Transit Request Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 636.10092 Wilkins Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.10092 Wilkins Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.10092 Wilkins Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.10092 Wilkins Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
