My name is Charlotte Parkhurst and I was born in the mid 1800’s. I live in an orphanage, but I’m not like other girls. I hate wearing dresses and cooking, but I love fighting and climbing trees. My special love is horses. So, I’ve devised a plan. I’ve cut my hair, put on boys clothing, and run away from the orphanage. I’m learning to be a stage coach driver. No one knows my secret. Can I pull it off? Read my real life story to see just how spunky and courageous I am! (New Hampshire Great Stone Face Committee)
