About this deal

Passionate “horse people” provided food and shelter for the trio; some invited all to stay as long as Annie wanted. Her adventure was documented in the book “The Last of the Saddle Tramps”, a photographic and descriptive memoir of her 7,000 mile journey. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

year old widower Walter Spencer is also with the couple, along with another person (details of whom have been redacted from the online Register). We caught up with Annie to hear her plans for the band and find out a little bit more about what brought her to banding. And some of the incredible people of American in the 50s who contributed warm meals, clothing, cozy stables and love along the way. Letts honors her subjects--Wilkins, 1950s America, and that moment when range gave way to road, and horse to car--with an author's hand and a historian's eye.As the titles suggest, Wilkins' poetry was often about nature, especially plants, often with allegorical or Biblical associations. Her classical and musical knowledge enabled her to conduct a seminary for young ladies and teach music in the family home.

Between 1901 and 1911, William Wilkins moved his Post Office and grocery business to the present Post Office building. The window into the american life at this time with the surrounding historical detail was excellent too. I started playing brass at secondary school, mainly so I could sit next to my best friend in orchestra, and I’ve never looked back!

The book is the true story of Annie Wilkins, a 63-year-old woman from Maine, who decided in 1954 to travel across the United States by horseback. I’m Annie and I’m originally from Northamptonshire, but I moved up north 4 years ago to study music at the University of Leeds.
