In 1901, Philadelphia’s celebrity female journalist stepped off a train in Blackfoot, Montana, and into a world of living legends. The miners and frontiersman, Indians and trappers Caroline Lockhart met there inspired this beautiful, single, strong-willed woman to live a life she’d only dreamed about in what remained of the Wild West. This is the true story of a woman whose work and life teetered between realism and romanticism, who wrote novels “like a man” yet ran her businesses and love affairs like a liberated feminist. Politely educated (she attended the Moravian Seminary for girls) and well-traveled (her assignments took her throughout Europe), she chose to live out her passions in a time when to bare one’s ankle could ruin a girl for life.
