It is set in the late 1800s in the American West and tells the story of Mary Breydon, a young woman who moves to a remote mining town in Colorado with her new husband.Mary quickly discovers that she is the only woman in the town, which is populated by rough and dangerous men. She struggles to find her place in this harsh environment and faces many challenges, including prejudice, violence, and isolation.Despite the difficulties, Mary is determined to make a life for herself in the town. She befriends some of the miners and becomes involved in their struggles for better working conditions and fair treatment. She also forms a bond with a young boy who has been orphaned by the mining industry.As Mary becomes more involved in the town's affairs, she attracts the attention of powerful men who are threatened by her presence. She must fight to protect herself and those she cares about, even as she risks losing everything she has worked for.The Only Woman In The Town is a gripping and inspiring tale of one woman's courage and determination in the face of adversity. It is a tribute to the pioneering spirit of women who helped shape the American West.Just as the dark circle had closed over the blue stockings, Joe Devin's face peered down the depths by her side, and his voice sounded out the words: ""O Mother Moulton, the British will search the wells the VERY first thing. Of course, they EXPECT to find things in wells!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
