A 1910 NW WI TRUE-CRIME NOVEL
Step into the life of Myra Dietz, a girl whose voice is as sweet as her determination is strong. Meet Myra’s father, John, a steadfast Winter, Wisconsin, woodsman who confronts the world’s largest lumber syndicate. But rather than pay John his back pay, they respond with government graft and corruption. Warrants are issued for John’s arrest. Shots are fired. Headlines explode coast-to-coast! Get to know this struggling but loving family, regarded nationwide as champions of the working class. Raise your fist with Myra Dietz, perhaps Wisconsin’s bravest heroine of all time. But watch out—the Winchesters are loaded and bullets soon fly! • Based on news accounts, court records, and Myra’s own personal recollections. 107 images and excerpts from Myra’s 1929 memoir. 228 pages. Written for adults, yet suitable for young readers. • Available October, 2020 along with Sybil Brakken’s complete Myra Dietz memoir, The Heroine of Cameron Dam. (SHIPS FREE, WI Sales Tax Paid!) |
