Mountain Charley; Or, the Adventures of Mrs. E.J. Guerin, Who Was Thirteen Years in Male Attire (Western Frontier Library, Vol 40)

Rating:
Summary: Bawdier than one would imagine!
Review: What the amazon reviewer fails to disclose are the moments in this book that make it vivid: There is a queasy and scary scene where Charley escapes being gang-raped (while in male garb, no less), and another where she limps to a surgeon after being shot in the leg during a mugging! In fact, she gets shot a couple of times throughout the book!
You can read this book in one sitting and believe me, you'll want to--it's that riveting!
