Bookriders

The Best Fiction is Often Rooted in History...The Great Depression brought great poverty and pain to the United States, even in areas already stricken with crippling hardship, like the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky. In an attempt to bring something much needed to the people of this area and to employ deserving women, a program was started that was both dangerous and revolutionary. One that took a normally stationary job, that of a librarian, and put it not only in the field, but on horseback in some of the roughest country possible.BOOKRIDERS tells heroic tales of women who risked their lives to deliver books to isolated farms, work camps, and villages far from any city as a part of the Pack Horse Library project. Five authors inspired by the true exploits of these resourceful heroines and their brief, but much needed mission tell stories guaranteed to pay tribute to the history and inspire a new generation of readers!BOOKRIDERS.
