I suppose it would depend on whether she had loved anyone but herself.

Isn't it weird how all that hot mess led to a shrine where people leave messages and wishes on pieces of paper in the crevice of a wall?<br />Great post, Rain. That's some awesome research. Sarah J.

The fact that the woman had a townhouse might be the part of the story we don't know. It would definitely not make a romance though lolRain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-56040619043593233542018-02-12T23:11:53.203-06:002018-02-12T23:11:53.203-06:00What an interesting story!

And more proof that we tend to romanticized the West and fail to tell the real stories of the women who inhabited it, which are by far so much more interesting. I'm sure that mother never told her daughter that she was having a torrid affair with her SIL when they were caught. That poor widow only knew her darling father killed her beloved. What a mess! <br /><br />E.

I'm not sure but I believe she suffered more than any other woman. Just gruesome. <br />Thanks for the good research.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-79640577659468064932018-02-12T09:07:11.848-06:002018-02-12T09:07:11.848-06:00Hope you do it when we are still in Tucson.
