On A Donkey's Hurricane Deck
'On A Donkey's Hurricane Deck' Summary
In 1929, Robert Pitcher Woodward embarked on an extraordinary journey across the American continent on a donkey named Hurricane Deck. With no money to his name, he set out from New York City with the goal of reaching San Francisco, over four thousand miles away. Woodward's journey took him through diverse landscapes, from the bustling streets of New York to the rugged mountains of the West. Along the way, he encountered a colorful cast of characters, including kind-hearted strangers and skeptical townsfolk. Despite the challenges he faced, Woodward maintained his sense of humor and determination, chronicling his adventures in a series of witty and engaging letters that were later published as 'On A Donkey's Hurricane Deck'. Woodward's journey is not just a tale of physical endurance but also a testament to the power of human spirit and the kindness of strangers.Book Details
