Before being caught, they fled Kansas and were never found. The true story of the mysterious family is now explored in a new light. Award-winning author Phyllis de la Garza tells the Bender story, accompanied by newspaper clippings, original photographs of the Bender Inn and crime scene, real-life accounts of the Benders, and, most importantly, uncovered findings about Kate and John Bender and where they went after fleeing the inn.   "Deftly researched. Magnificently written. A tragic chapter in American frontier folklore retold by an author eminently qualified to do it." -Chuck Parsons, Editor, Quarterly Journal, National Association for Outlaw-Lawman History, Inc.

Silk and Sagebrush: Women of the Old West

A sneak attack in the night brought terrible wounds to the builders of the Dragoon Springs station on the Overland Stage route. Of the three terribly wounded men, only one had a hope of surviving. The others would die in agony. The men were found days after the attack and long after the buzzards, the maggots, and Cochise had arrived. There ensued a desperate attempt to save the life of the one man, but Cochise had other ideas. He had the superior force and was ready to inflict far more suffering, and the battle to save one life and to get the Overland rolling was to prove very costly. In this novel, Phyllis de la Garza illuminates the courage, pain, and determination that is crucial to the development of the American West.
