Buckskin Bessie: Her Lost Letters

by Monica James

Paperback

Only the treasure from a sunken ship could compare to the surfacing of these letters. Penned in the early 1900s and tenderly saved for years and years, they appeared mysteriously in the dust of an estate sale. These letters unguardedly reveal the heart of "Buckskin Bessie," a woman who was not only a Wild West performer, but also the fifteen-year lover/companion of Joe Miller, one of the most powerful men of the times and the owner of the famous 101 Ranch Wild West Show. As you will discover through her own words, Bessie was a unique and beautiful woman with character and strength. What path did she follow that led to her dying alone in a mysterious fire of questionable origin?
