Ride the Rising Wind: One Woman's Journey Across Canada
Ride the Rising Wind: One Woman's Journey Across Canada | Barbara Kingscote
1 post | 4 to read
In May 1949, at the age of twenty, Barbara Kingscote left her farm in Mascouche, Quebec, and set out for the Pacific Ocean on horseback. Barbara and her equine companion Zazy reached the West Coast just over a year later, after travelling 4ꯠ miles and discovering the heart of this great country. Ride the Rising Wind reveals Canada through the fresh eyes of a brave young woman discovering both herself and her country on the journey of a lifetime.

Recommended by a sister librarian. One woman‘s journey on horseback from Mascouche, Quebec to Chilliwack, British Columbia in 1949. That‘s 4000 miles of riding! Twenty years old with $100 in her pocket and a couple of maps in her pack. Looks like an interesting portrait of Canada, its people and environment mid century. Perhaps a good read for spring should it ever show its face in frigid Saskatchewan 🥶
