title: Bedside Book of Bad Girls: Outlaw Women of the American West (Bedside Reader)
author:  Michael Rutter 
description: Everyone from the well known Calamity Jane (a Prostitute, Theif, and Alcoholic who drank her way into an early grave) to little known Bad Girls, this was a very enjoyable, quick read. You have the true bad girls, like Calamity Jane, Belle Star, and others (those who'd as soon kill you and rob you as look at you), and you also have the women who were simply too forward thinking for their time, and victims of poor circumstance and the mysogyny of the Victorian peroid. This book would be a fantastic addition to any High School History Classroom or Personal Library. (4 stars) --Sarah, goodreads.com<br /><br />Rutter works very hard to discover the truth of the lives of these famous characters in order to set the record straight, yet explaining how the wild tales came about. The author delves into archives to find pictures to illustrate his biographies. Rutter distills extensive research into lively tales that are only a handful of pages long, indeed making this an excellent bedside reader. One will dream dreams of our historic Wild West after reading one of these 21 stories each evening! --Portneuf District Library<br /><br />Believe It or Not! the American West had its share of outlaw women, many of whom were killers and rustlers and some actually ended up on the short end of a long rope as a result. Author Michael Rutter has documented these bad girls in his Bedside Book of Bad Girls, and shares several amazing and shocking stories about a few of them. --Ripley's Believe It or Not!

  “D�. A�����! W����’� D�. A�����?!”
  I step aside as Nurse Annie rushes past me, her brown eyes
  tight. In the midst of closing the strap of my bag, I watch as she
  grabs another night nurse by the arm and tersely questions her.
  I cough discreetly and both women turn to look in my direction.
  “Did you check the medicine supply closet?”
