About this book

In 1954, Annie leaves Minot, Maine, on horseback with her dog, setting out for California despite poverty and a lack of basic travel equipment. Elizabeth Letts reconstructs her life and travels while questioning the nickname and conventional image her hometown retained. The biography places Annie's independence alongside the restrictive expectations facing an older unmarried woman in postwar America.
