THIS BOOK IS A TRIBUTE TO 
THE WEST. 
I have used many Western phrases as 
necessary to the Western setting. 
I can only add that the events related 
teally happened in the Rocky Moun- 
tains of the United States and Canada: 
and this is why, being a woman, I wanted 
to tell about them, in the hope that some bs 
going-to-Europe-in-the-summer-woman 
may be tempted to go West instead.
