Raised in a whorehouse by a Blackfoot Spirit woman. Didn't want that kind of life so jumped on a wagon train when only 15. Come along with her into the Old West of long ago.
I found her diary in a trunk bought at an auction in Walton, NY. The ink and pencil are faded and often difficult to read and had to guess a few times. I hope the language of my guesses doesn't sound too modern, nor done too much harm to Mary's intent. I did a lot of formatting including chapters and chapter headings. She describes the way it really was long ago. There among the gold miners of Hangtown and the soiled doves of San Francisco. I liked the humor...Indians and whorehouses and the characters were developed to make the story fun. Also loved the old pictures. A fun story and fast read.
