This is an amazing story for kids and adults alike. Best of all, it's TRUE! Truth can really be stranger than fiction.
An exciting true story of two brothers who ride from Oklahoma to Washington DC and New York City in 1910. The amazing part was that they made the trip on their own at the ages of 6 and 10!
