Katherine Fairbanks was a modern, young Philadelphia miss --- modern that was for 1881. She graduated from Whitman's Women's College in eastern Pennsylvania and thought she knew everything there was to know about the world. Imagine her surprise when her father, Randall Fairbanks, got the "mining bug" and headed with pick and shovel for Tombstone, Arizona, the wildest town in the west!
Before she knew it, Katherine found herself roped in, so to speak. Her father sent for her to join him. One minor detail --- he had promised her hand to rancher George Slaughter, the man who loaned him the money to finance his silver mine. Katherine was modern, but not modern enough to offend her Papa.
No sooner had the minister pronounced them man and wife, and the rounds of toasts had started on the field outside town where the wedding party was assembled, than outlaws appeared. The women guests yelled, "The Helldorado Kid!" and swished their skirts together in a tight little group to protect themselves. It was indeed the Kid and his gang, riding into town to break up Old Man Slaughter's wedding party.
While his gang held off Slaughter and his cowboys, the Kid announced in front of Katherine, her guests, and her father, "Well, honey, it's no more than the simple truth. You are my property" in this western historical romance by Linda Cargill.
