Product Overview
Rough, Tough and in Skirts! These turn-of-the century gals entered a man's world with a vengeance, many of them conquering it.
This action-packed book brings to life the colorful women of the Old Wild West. Horse-trading ladies, like the legendary Mustang Jane, ruled the range with their six-shooters, The Queen of Diamonds rode sidesaddle over the rough terrain with her cowhands and a new breed of gutsy cowgirls fought their way to fame in the male-dominated world of rodeo. Others made quieter, gentler changes.
From the famous and infamous, to the unsung heroines--cattle queens, petticoat prisoners, and dedicated schoolmarms--they represented the feminine side of the American frontier and brought a woman's touch to an otherwise uncivilized land.
