In the summer of 1938, a lone librarian saddled her horse at dawn—not with mail or supplies, but with books. 📚 Across rugged Appalachian trails, through fog, snow, and rain, she carried hope to families who had nothing but their will to dream.
These “book women” of the Great Depression risked everything to bring stories into forgotten homes—turning cabins into classrooms and firelight into imagination. Their courage reminds us that knowledge is worth the hardest journey. ✨🐎
