Montana's hanged sheriff, Henry Plummer, had a wife and couldn't keep her. Suspense sweeps from the 1863 gold rush to Electa's son finding Henry's gold.In 1862, historical figure Electa Bryan comes to a remote Indian Agency in what is now Western Montana to teach native children. Instead she finds deprivation and loneliness-until she meets suave, handsome Henry Plummer and falls hopelessly in love. Rejecting her sister's warning, she marries this stranger and moves to Bannack City. There, they pursue their vision of turning a primitive territory filled with greed, murder and mayhem into a civilized state, with Henry as governor. As sheriff, he is away from home most of the time enforcing the law, searching for a mysterious silver lode, or in the saloons. Electa is neglected and regimented, but blindly ignores the signs he is not all he seems, devotedly believing all he says. Until she meets Pearl. At Electa's death in 1912, her son, Vernon Maxwell, inherits an eagle feather and a fortune. He sets out to learn why she left her husband so precipitously and why Henry was hanged for supposedly heading a gang of road agents who were killing innocent people and robbing gold shipment. What is the password he must know to secure his inheritance-Henry's stolen gold? More importantly, can he discover his mother's hidden past?
From the Daybook of Picky Sinclair is a funny, sad, and powerful novel about simple people in simpler times; it should appeal to all age groups.Picky, born in 1909, begins keeping a daybook at an early age. In a lilting Kentucky voice, she writes about her family, past and present, her beloved Papa and Miss Polly, her stepmother. Her maternal great-grandparents get sick on Mrs. Dupriest's pies. The doctor purges them "right into the pearly gates." Ernestine, who can't talk plain, gets happy in church, lisps, and spits flies all over the place. Papa tries stumblingly to tell Picky the facts of life. When she marries Jack they are given a rooster, which she loathes, a cow that loathes her, and turkeys bent on suicide. Picky writes about ordinary people in extraordinary situations. Her stories are hilarious, saucy, and sometimes sad. An entertaining read!
