Alice Ramsey was the first woman to drive across the United States, in 1909, in a Maxwell DA. 100 Years later, a Northwest family is recreating the journey - in a restored 1909 Maxwell DA. See http://aliceramsey.org/
I did an artisan print related to Mrs. Huyler-Ramsey's drive this semester. Great PR move for Maxwell and a wonderful story... I'm going to have to find a copy of the book sometime. I imagine it will be as epic as _The Spirit of St. Louis_ (Charles Lindbergh's account of his trans-Atlantic flight).
I rather like this homage to an important (if not so-well-known) moment and person in US and automotive history... even if there was no ambush by fellows hunting for jackrabbits! :D
amazingly, she even looks like Mrs Ramsey!
