Author Marilyn A. Hudson, the "bizarre history genie", does it again
with her new work profiling some of the young women who made headlines -
rightly and wrongly - in 1890's Oklahoma. Horse thieves, hoedowns and
hoodlums...
The
1890's, the Gilded Age, in Oklahoma saw the twin territories rife with
gangs, crooks, thieves, and outlaws of every stripe. The fairer sex was
represented in this mix, sometimes truthfully and sometimes drawn from
the whole cloth of overactive and imaginative newspaper editors,
politicians and lawmen.
Meet a variety of women whose stories are often absent or distorted in
the history books. Introduced will be such people as Cattle Annie,
Little Britches, 'Tom King' aka Flo Quick, Jessie Findlay, Eugenia
Moore, and others.
Oklahoma Bad Girls: Interesting Gals and Pals of the Gilded Age
author of Murderous Marriages and
Death Rides the Railways, continues her historic style that earned her
the title, "The Bizarre History Genie". Hudson holds degrees in History
and Library and Information Studies from the University of Oklahoma.
