AND....In his CHRONICLES OF CROTON'S BOHEMIANS, the late historian Robert Scott wrote this about Milholland:
On March 3, 1913, a statuesque woman clad in a flowing white cape and riding a white horse was the leader of a giant women's suffrage parade down Washington’s Pennsylvania Avenue. She carried a streaming banner reading, "Forward into light." Not quite 27 years old, Inez Milholland already had an impressive record of accomplishments.
