WEDNESDAY, August 10th at 7PM: More WOMEN GOING WILD IN THE OL:D WEST

Trolley returns with more tales of women, both real and fictional, in the Old American West.

This session she will be including some works by O.Henry (William Sydney Porter) was an American short story writer. O. Henry's short stories are known for their wit, wordplay, warm characterization, and surprise endings.

O. Henry's stories frequently have surprise endings. In his day, he was called the American answer to Guy de Maupassant. While both authors wrote plot twist endings, O. Henry stories were considerably more playful, and are also known for witty narration.

Most of O. Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early 20th century. Many take place in New York City and for the most part feature ordinary people: clerks, policemen, waitresses, etc.

You know, it isn't all dance hall girls, corsets, revealing buckskins, and "Annie-Get-Your-Gun!"

When we think of the literature of the American West, we often think of the likes of Louis L'amour, John Jakes, Zane Grey among the classic authors. Yet here as well, a number of intrepid women have made their marks in that vast, intimidating wilds of the cowboy and the outlaw.

Caledonia shares stories from three Women of Western literature: Gertrude Atherton, Dorothy M. Johnson (who penned "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" & "A Man Called Horse"), and Marcia Muller, live in voice.
