This book is a collection of true accounts documenting the prevalence of wife and child abuse on the Western frontier. The cast of characters includes the seven Sager orphans, missionary Narcissa Whitman, vigilante captain James
Williams, outlaw Wesley Hardin, stock detective Tom Horn, and Montana's notorious Sheriff Henry Plummer. The highlight of the book is one of the most sensational murder trials of the early 1900s, a young housewife sentenced to hang for the bizarre killing of her unusually abusive husband.
