Rough, Tough Charley
Charley was rough.
Charley was tough.
Charley wore fancy blue gloves.
Charley Parkhurst always was more comfortable around horses than around humans. One of the most respected stagecoach drivers in the old West, Charley also kept one of the biggest secrets anyone could keep -- that she was a woman originally named Charlotte Parkhurst.
Now, through thrilling paintings and Verla Kay's signature cryptic rhyme, readers are invited to explore an amazing real life, lived without limits.

Description
"Kay's strict meter keeps Charley's inner thoughts at a distance from the readers, so that Charley effectively holds onto her secret until the book's end....Gustavson's lush, realistic oil illustrations are a lavish counterpoint [and] are suffused with the romance and roughness of a bygone era." -- Publisher's Weekly
