Description

In 1856, a group of frontier ruffians murdered Jacob Friend and his family. A year later, Addy Furlough discovers that though the culprits got their just rewards, they had not acted alone, and the mastermind is hot on her trail. What's a young lady to do? Calling in her dashing beau might help, but most importantly, she's going to need all the wit, repartee, and subterfuge she can muster to stay alive. A graduate of Oberlin College, Addy moved out west to the frontier river town of Brownville, Nebraska Territory, to establish herself as a businesswoman, promote abolition, and find her aunt, long ago kidnapped by Indians. A woman journalist was not unheard of in the 1850s, but denouncing slavery and defending Native Americans was not especially popular out on the Great Plains. Fortunately, Addy's father is wealthy enough from his railroad investments to support her in her quests, and her younger brother, Teddy, stands ready to help, but not always exactly the way she might hope. Nevertheless, Addy investigates and invariably stirs up a hornets' nest of trouble for herself and everyone connected to her. In this latest adventure, murder and mystery take center stage, but nearly all the events, speeches, letters, and many of the characters come from the pages of early Plains history. Mixing together facts, fiction, humor, suspense, and romance, Saved by the Bullet takes the reader for a delightful ride through the Old West.
