Talk:Alice Huyler Ramsey

Moved from the wiki page

Q#1: Was her cross-country drive 3,600 or 3,800 miles? Your article cites 2 different numbers. // Q#2: Did the “Philadelphia Inquirer” (see reference #8) also get some facts wrong, saying the trip took "41 days" (versus your figure of 59 days; the latter figure of 59 days would be correct - that is, assuming your begin-date and end-date are both correct). -- Please edit/correct both data points. Thanks!

NPOV for Native American hunting party encounter

The sentence "Ramsey received a case of bedbugs from a Wyoming hotel, and in Nevada they were surrounded by a Native American hunting party with bows and arrows drawn" may perpetuate harmful stereotypes.

While the encounter does seem to be widely documented, the wording seems likely to be sensationalized. Some sources offer more detailed accounts of the encounter as a misunderstanding.

I don't have direct access to the AAA citation but I recommend either toning down the language (e.g., "In Nevada, they encountered a Native American hunting party") or clarifying / reframing the situation (e.g., "Ramsey's account includes being frightened by a Native American hunting party...").
