Legion
Cataloged here as Legion, this entry describes a turn of the twentieth century western romance set in the gold rush country of southern Idaho. The novel follows a young heroine who rides out alone across the rough mining country of the Snake River basin to find the man she loves, traveling through saloon towns, prospector camps, and stretches of high desert that test her nerve and her horsemanship. The book belongs to the early popular tradition of frontier heroine fiction, in which female protagonists are not damsels but capable riders, shooters, and judges of character, and in which romance unfolds against the larger backdrop of land claims, vigilante justice, and the closing of the American west. Readers who enjoy the romance and grit of Zane Grey's adventures, the heroine driven westerns of B. M. Bower, or modern entries like the Sara Donati and Lauraine Snelling sagas will recognize the pleasures here: a determined young woman, a scoundrel hearted love interest, and a long ride across breathtaking country.
