Title: Strength of Stone
Description: "This incredibly detailed and fast-moving historical novel presents a portion of Electa Bryan Plumer's life just prior to meeting the notorious William Henry Handy Plumer, the Bannack Sheriff hanged by Vigilantes, her courtship with Plumer, and the short period of time she was Plumer's wife. This is a love story from a woman's perspective, set in the early 1860s Gold Rush West, and deeply entrenched in Idaho Territory (Montana) history and lore. The events of the Civil War and the "settling" of the frontier West are just two of the fascinating historical threads working their way through Electa's incredible personal saga of exploration, adventure, love, and loss"--Publisher's description.
