Hufsmith's book was published, I can't imagine why there are still poems, stories and films depicting Ellen Watson-Averell as a soiled dove, rustler, and outlaw. I had an argument with her great nephew in a feed store he owned. He still thinks his great aunt was all of the above.

In doing research, I found a website by a relative that proclaimed her innocence and the greed of the large ranchers. I truly believe that is the case, and that she and her husband were wrongly attacked and hanged. Such a tragedy, but greed is powerful.

Of course all sorts of questions pound around my head<br />To prove up did they have to live on the homestead for a certain period of time or did they also have to make continuous improvements? <br />Of course this also illustrates the arrogance of those who believe they have "the right" when they want something someone else has.Mona Karelhttp://mona-karel.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183201547392787469.post-84504090988502159712013-03-19T03:24:08.173-07:002013-03-19T03:24:08.173-07:00Hi, Alice and Jean,
