I chose to research Louise Arner Boyd___, because__ __I wanted to read about someone who was not comonn and still interesting. An artic explorer is extremely cool and not many women do things like her. I think an arctic explorer would be a great thing to think of as an idol. Especially one that had so much determination. Some of my other choices sounded boring but when I came upon this book and I decided this was the clincher. What could be better then an award winning super determined extrordinary explorer with tons of money. I needed to read about her if I was going to grow up to be something awesome. This was a great book for me to read. You can see why!

This famous women was born__ __Louise was born September 16,1887. She was the only daughter ofJohn Franklin Boyd and Louise Arner Boyd. She was born with great fortune. Equivallant to a few billion dollars today. She had two brothers a ranch and a huge home named Maple Lawn in San Rafael, California. She had every opertunity to what she wanted. She rode horses,studied from an under study tutor and traveled abraod. She had a huge property and everybody new who she was. Her dad was very rich and one example why was because they struck gold and he made $67,500 from that. That is what she did for the first few years of her birth.

Her early years were__ Louise Arner Boyd spent her early years on her ranch. she would fill her saddle bags and ride her many horses all day long with the company of her brothers. She decided that she wanted to take up photography. With some of her money she hired many photographers to help her with her skills. She traveled all over Europe. she kept a journal and took many pictures on her trips. Eventually disaster happened and her brother died. Just a short while later her other brother died too. Both of heart disease. Later her parents moved to a nursing home. Her mom died and shortly later in 1920 her dad passed too. At a young age Louise was alone and she made the best of it.

__Her later years were spent__ Louise continued to take trips on around the world. On one trip to Norway Louise Arner Boyd found what she wanted to do in life. She decided to be an arctic explorer. she took many expiditions. Louise found many diffrent live specimns. her favorite ship helped her on many expiditions it's name was the //Veslekari.// She was given many awrds and helped many peolple. The tall slender woman was always noticed when entering a room. She grew older and still went on adventures. She started to just travel and have parties at her spectacular property Maple Lawn. She donated most of it to a park in California and made a huge garden slash pool area for the public and herself. She also moved into a nursing home like her parents and was catered to her every whim. She eventually died and was given a small funeral where only her closest freinds were invited. That is what she did in her older years of life. __Her accomplishments included__ Louises accomplishments were extrodinary here are some of them. Louise had founded new land and had an entire fiord named after her. She was well respected around the world and especially in western Europe. She was awarded with some of norways most respected rewards only few woman have ever recieved. She made a book with her pictures and even a movie. She helped the American people defeat Hitler by making maps of more tactical ways to destroy the enemy. She has sailed farther north than any other woman in history. She has met escimos and almost had her most prised possession and then retrieved it. Louise Arner Boyd was probably one of the most acomplished female arctic explorers to ever sail the seven seas. She has gotten many norwegien awards and I think you can see why.
