Crazy Woman Creek (Of Men and Horses)

By Dawn Newland

A gripping Historical Novel, second in the series following the life of early day ranch and pioneer woman Lucy Tressler Thornhill. It follows her heart wrenching days after being beaten and having her children taken from her by an abusive husband. She is left lying on the Montana prairie and is found and taken in by none other than the outlaw Kid Curry' and his wild, one-armed brother, Johnny. The love that develops between this trio of unlikely refuges is tragic and beautiful. The dialogue is authentic cowboy, sometimes rank, always honest, but true bunk-house lingo, straight from th 1890's. It follows the murder of the famous Montana ruffian Pike Landusky and the false accusations that turned the young rancher, Harvey Logan into the famed outlaw, Kid Curry. Lucy Tressler's life intertwined with a group of stalwart Montana stock hands of impeccable character. James Thornhill was Harvey Logan and his brother John's ranch partner and stood trial for the murder as well. He was acquitted, but not in time to declare his devotion and save the one woman that he loved. Heart wrenching and poignant, Lucy's story captures the wildness of the newly formed state of Montana in illustrations as well as word.
