Story Behind The Book

After reading about Cimarron Rose and her daring legendary deeds, my husband and I began a search, aided by our local librarian, to whom I dedicated the book. Together we learned things about Rose that were contradictory to her legend. But legends come from somewhere, so I began to think what might have happened to her after she disappeared into history and came up with as plausible story as any of the other tales. This one is different and also reveals some facts never used in previous books, or the movie which included Rose.
