Want to view the original archives in higher quality? 

Many letters, documents, and other materials connected to Margaret “Bonnie” Orcutt’s story have been preserved online and are available now.

Bonnie did not leave behind much on paper herself, but these archived documents from the White House and Caltrans help give her fans and readers of her story a bigger picture of her journey from desert widow to legend!

We just received approvals and legal clearances to include them in the book and online. As we work to upload the archives and revise the book, feel free to take a look around our site and become part of this great woman's story! These will all be available 9-1-25.

Readers who purchased Mrs. Orcutt’s Driveway—in any format—will find a special link and access code towards the end. Visit the link or scan the QR code provided in the book, then enter the code to unlock the archives.

FAQ

Question: I didn't see the password in an earlier print version of the book or in the Kindle version. How do I access these docs?

The Kindle version will automatically send you an update request the next time you open the book, and if you agree, the newly revised version will download after 9-1-25.

For early print versions, just email us at info@cvwooster.com, and we will be happy to send you the passcode. The printed versions have been updated and are available for purchase with the added docs and password on 9-1-25.
