Duchess from Wyoming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798824784985)

In 1880 Wyoming Territory, girls had guns. One of these young ladies was out to get even with the man who murdered her father--just before last Christmas. This man was a Sheriff who gunned down her father instead of bringing him to justice. So she shot the sheriff. After Arlene shot the sheriff she escaped. Arlene jumped on a train and headed east. She ended up in New York City. Not good enough. Arlene then got on an ocean liner and ended up in London. Her first job was as a jockey who rode a thoroughbred in the 100th running of the Epsom Derby in 1880. That same day Arlene met all four of Queen Victoria's sons. Three were unmarried. She taught them how to smoke Cuban cigars. Arlene then moved into a large house across the wall from Buckingham Palace, and across the street from Harrods Department Store. She brought a bottle of good scotch (Macallan 1855) when Arlene was invited to meet Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. Then the story gets interesting. Did Arlene ever have to stand trial for the murder of the sheriff she shot? Happily for you, that question gets answered in this book. (Yes, she did.)
