I enjoyed these stories very much myself and I enjoyed reading this book with my 5 and 3 year old boys, although, the target audience is probably a little bit older.

Mary On Horseback Three Mountain Stories Rosemary Wells 9780141308159 Books Reviews

Rosemary Wells is a good writer, and at the beginning of the book she initiates interest for the reader right away. But whether the author chose to ignore important information about the "heroine" of the book or she was merely ignorant of it, there is sufficient question about the motives and morals of Mary Breckinridge that make her a questionable character to hold up to young people. It is true that Ms. Breckinridge was concerned for the health of the poor in the Appalachian Mountains. However, certain reports available online reveal that Ms. Breckinridge tended to feel that the "Aryan race" in these Kentucky hill folk were what made them deserving of care (over any other color of those created in God's image?). Her self-acclaim as the Frontier Nursing staff grew made her motives questionable was she really in this out of compassion, or was it her "15 minutes of fame" as modern slang would have it? No, there are too many questions here to make Mary Breckinridge a worthy hero to young people today. We were greatly disappointed in this book, and it met the "circular file" quickly.
Very fascinating stories about a woman I had never heard of and a history I never knew! Great for children and adults alike!
Read this book in one night. Bought it to read to my class as a way to integrate social studies and reading.
My kids and I are enjoying these stories. I think I expected the stories to be a little longer than they are (I didn't notice how many pages the book had before buying it). However, each story is a nice length for reading to the kids before bedtime.
Great Historical Book.
Good book. Seller good.
Read this aloud to my 2nd and 3rd graders for fun in the afternoon. They absolutely loved curling up to read these stories about Mary Breckenridge. I wish it was a longer book.
I enjoyed these stories very much myself and I enjoyed reading this book with my 5 and 3 year old boys, although, the target audience is probably a little bit older.
