    Missy Herrington (eBook, ePUB)
    Missy Herrington is the debut novel of J. Laux Perren-a young French immigrant to the United States. Young Dowager Baroness Herrington, born Melissa Jane Annabelle 'Missy' Adamson, convinced her mentor and benefactor Lord Beverley, to sponsor her journey to the United States of America. Missy proposed and Lord Beverley accepted her assignment to report on her observations of the westward expansion in the American West. She carefully employs her avocational skills as an opportunistic courtesan to find a unique angle on events of the westward expansion after the Civil War. Missy absorbs the majesty of the Wild West, witnesses pivotal events in the evolution of the westward expansion, and meets and befriends colorful, influential characters in the history of the 1870s United States, including Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody, Texas Jack Omohundro, Jesse James, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and of course, General George Custer before he dies in the Battle of Little Bighorn. Her travels take her across the country on the transcontinental railroad to San Francisco and down the Mississippi River to New Orleans for the winter of 1875. With Jack Omohundro, Missy tours the natural wonders of the newly created Yellowstone National Park-the first in the nation. The historic events of the 1870s play out before her to be recorded by her pen, ink and paper.
