Description

Don Brown introduces us to Alice Ramsey, a little-known heroine who, on June 9, 1909, became the first woman to drive across America. Over fifty-nine days, she navigated a Maxwell touring car from New York to San Francisco, overcoming challenges and following her vision to conquer the open road, even when it was just a wagon trail. Her adventure offers a unique perspective on turn-of-the-century America and celebrates the pioneering spirit that shaped the nation.
