| 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) |
