Kate Burke Shoots the Old West — Jerrie Hurd
SHE SHOOTS WITH HER HEART
It's said that the women in her family share the same fault -- too much passion. And Kate Burke's burning passion is photography. At a time when lady photographers are supposed to take "pretty" pictures, she exposes the massacre of hundreds of Indian women, children, and old men at Wounded Knee Creek. In a place where respectable wives don't "get familiar" with "the natives," Kate risks her life to document the women of the Sacred Sioux Quillworkers. She is determined not to let their centuries-old secrets die with them. And before she is finished shooting, Kate will take on the entire U.S. Seventh Cavalry and single-handedly change history. But even a woman as gutsy as Kate may not be able to escape the enemy who stalks her, a past she cannot forget, or the rivalry of the two men she dares to love....
A tale of courage and undaunted spirit, Kate's story promises to haunt the prairie forever, like the ghost dancers who never die...like the dream art of the quillworkers...and like the silver images of her own glass plates.
They came from all points to be part of the grand adventure ... intrepid women carving new lives on the great American frontier.
