Description
A new breed of courageous, intelligent, and hard-working women traveled west as Harvey Girls in the 1880s, and then as Southwestern Detour Couriers from the 1920s through the Great Depression. The college-educated detour couriers, or tour guides, were “walking-talking billboards,” enlightening travelers about the history and unique beauty of the then little-known southwest. Grab your walking shoes, cameras, and a hat as we once again bump along the old dirt roads to take a detour of the grand Southwest!
