MARY--raised in a whorehouse by a Blackfoot Spirit Woman: A tale of the wild west of long ago

Product Description

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! I love history and to read it in the first person and in the words of a woman who had "grit" and enjoyed life and adventure was very entertaining.
Kindle Customer

I liked the humor. Interesting point of view that someone found a diary and pieces missing and I love reading about the old west, Indians and whorehouses and the characters were developed to make the story fun. Also loved the old pictures. A fun story and fast read.

Ride with Mary into the Wild West of long ago. Meet the soiled doves of San Francisco. Hangtown gold miners. The China girl Ah Choi. Mary promises not to lie too bad.

I found her handwritten story in an old trunk I bought at an auction in Walton, NY. There are many corrections and many notes and pictures stuck between the pages, and the ink and pencil are faded and often difficult to read. I have had to guess a few times and hope the language of my guesses doesn't sound too modern, nor done too much harm to Mary's intent.

The name Mary Faraday Huntington does not appear in any of the old records. Whoever wrote the words shamelessly talks about things rarely mentioned in stories of the Wild West. She describes the way it was long ago in the gold fields of the Sierras and among the soiled doves of San Francisco, not the sugar coated fairy tales of book and Hollywood.
