ANN CARMENY

The West of the bad man period, of the Vigilantes, of fortunes won and lost, of gambling and religious fanaticism and the spirit of pioneers. This is no rose-colored picture of the frontier. Even Ann Carmeny, the heroine, is no plaster saint -- in fact, I'd put my money on her gambler husband, who rescued her from a band of Mormon toughs, out for her gold, married her -- and then, with a smile and a heartache, waited her whims and pleasures. Hoffman Birney wrote a graphic tale of the Donner Party in Grim Journey. This is equally good history and better story.
