I would love to know the full story surrounding the Van Buren sisters.

I have a buddy who is so proud to tell anyone who will listen that he hiked up Mt. Kilimanjaro. Yet, he did so with an entire squad of paid help, carrying everything he would need and making his journey a guided tour for someone who had more money than grit.

I’ve seen similar stories, where they sound good when retold, but in truth were accomplished by men with more hat than cattle.

I suspect this is not the case here. I bet these sisters did it alone, or at least largely so, making this event even more impressive.
