She Knew No Fear The True Story of Pioneer Jane Mcketchnie Walton's Incredible Journey and Untimely Death
This book chronicles the life of Jane McKetchnie Walton and her harrowing journey from her native home in Scotland, across the Atlantic and across the American plains as a barefooted pioneer. Jane and her husband become part of the Hole in the Rock expedition (a small group of pioneers who carved a road in a 2,000 foot cliff above the Colorado River) and settled the Four-Corners area of the western United States. She dealt with hostile terrain and angry native Americans only to be murdered during a town celebration. Now, 130 years later, her great-great grandson solves this intriguing cold-case.
