Great Book

I really liked this book. It is about Annie Bronn, known as Wild Horse Annie, and her fight against greedy cattle men to save the wild mustangs roaming free in Nevada from a cruel death at rendering plants, and from there being made into canned horse meat.
I think this is one of Marguerite Henry’s best books
