Ken,

Me as well. Mapquest lists the distance by modern travel from Winchester to Montgomery as being 235 miles which, assuming the distance then was about the same, is about 10 days each way riding a horse. Quite some trip! She could also have ridden to Blue Mountain, AL (now Anniston) and taken the train to Montgomery but would have had to leave her horse there - or pay to have it shipped.
