A Meandering Broken Road John Daniel Strong

From the Missouri Executive Order 44--the infamous Extermination Order that was unrelenting against the Mormons-to the robbery of the San Miguel Valley Bank in Telluride, Colorado, before Bob Parker became known as Butch Cassidy-though there were men who became legends, there were women just as legendary. In A MEANDERING BROKEN ROAD there are some that were memorable like Constance Franklin who killed twice to save the man she loved-and Janis Little who abandoned the father of her unborn son to marry for money--but there was no one more unforgettable and original than Missy Gardet who when Michael Todd found her for sale on the Queen Isabell when the paddleboat docked in Memphis, she let him take her from what she had become-though he had no money and he had never been more than a horse trader and a drifter with a fast gun.
