The Peculiar Adventures of Ms. Douglas

Driven from her home, a young free woman tries her luck in the Old West. New York was long gone; everything she was settled in her footprints that traversed miles upon grueling miles to arrive in Sweet Water Kansas. There, she resolves to take up a new identity in order to suppress her old one, all in hopes of preserving her life. She was like the rest at first, just a wandering soul passing through a small town. Unaware of her infamous reputation back up North, most the townsfolk left her alone. That was until one fuming august morning when she had an unfortunate run in with the hotheaded gunslinger, Jimmy Hickock.
Extension: This story is a fan-fiction based off of the 1989-1990's show The Young Riders. The show follows the life of the Pony Express, a group of horse back riders specialized in delivering mail across the state of Kansas. Set just a few years before the Civil War shook the United States, these young men (and one woman disguised as a man) battle gun slinging cowboys, feared mercenaries, and territorial conflicts. Wild Bill and Buffalo Bill, two iconic figures of the Old West appear as major characters in their early years. My story takes place in Season 1.
