A murder mystery written in the old fashioned gripping "whodunit" style.

The true story of Annie Bronn's fight to save the wild mustangs from the greedy slaughter of men.

What ages would I recommend it too? – Five and up.

Length? – Two day’s read.

Characters? – Memorable, several characters.

Setting? – Real world early 1900's - A children's autobiography of Wild Horse Annie.

Written approximately? – 1966.

Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Ready to read more. Ready to save the horses!

Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? Yes - a few links to updated information on current wild horse (and other critter) preserves and rescue efforts.

Short storyline: The story of Wild Horse Annie's life and her struggle to save the wild Mustangs without whom, she would never have been born.

Notes for the reader: A few archaic words can cause confusion for some readers. ( )

I remember reading this as a teenager and loving it. A spirited girl named Annie, who encounters more than her fair share of trials growing up, a dash of romance, and a love of horses... I was hooked. I'd have to do some research to see how accurate it is, but from what I remember, it's a good combination of story telling and history - definitely a favourite I remember. ( )

Loved Marguerite Henry's horse books enough growing up to hunt the set down as an adult. ( )
