It is pleasure to read a piece of historical fiction that takes place in the Inland Northwest. "Mailing May," written by Michael Tunnell is a wonderful story. On February 19, 1914 Charlotte May Pierstorff was mailed from Grangeville to Lewiston, Idaho. Charlotte was sent as a "baby chick" for fifty-three cents. My 4th grade students enjoyed this story.
