Zusammenfassung:In 1901, Philadelphia's celebrity female journalist stepped off a train in Blackfoot, Montana. The miners and frontiersmen, Indians and trappers that Caroline Lockhart met there inspired this beautiful, single, strong-willed woman to live a life she had only dreamed about in what remained of the Wild West. This is the true story of a woman who wrote novels "like a man" yet ran her businesses and love affairs like a liberated feminist. Prep-school educated and well-traveled (her assignments took her throughout Europe), she chose to live out her passions in a time when to bare one's ankle could ruin a woman for life. As a newspaper publisher in Cody, Wyoming, she founded the town's still-thriving Stampede Rodeo, received critical praise from the demanding H. L. Mencken, and saw three of her seven novels turned into films, yet she also infuriated admirers with her cantankerous crusades and indomitable will.--From publisher description.
