Description
Kate was born during the post Civil War era in the hills of Western Appalachia where women lived a weary life in a corn-liquor culture dominated by hypocritical men and enforced by ego driven ignorant preachers. At eighteen Kate possessed a ripe body, a sharp mind, an in tact virginity and a talent for hitting whatever came in the sights of her small-bore muzzleloader squirrel rifle.Within a fortnight two tragic events claimed the life’s of Kate’s father, two brothers and her mother. She was suddenly alone with two mules some smaller livestock and a worn out farm in Painter Holler.
While tracking two wanted men, a bounty hunter connected with Kate and learned she killed the two men he was seeking, during a midnight shootout, when they attempted to rob Kate and her mother.
With winter in the offing, Brady accepted Kate’s invitation to stay at her house. During his visit Kate offered her virginity and became Brady’s life partner. In turn Brady introduced Kate to a new world populated by trains, hotels, steamships and a life she lacked the knowledge to imagine.
Traveling with Brady, Kate quickly transitioned into a mature young woman able to feel at ease in formal afternoon teas, while wearing a holstered Derringer pistol under a fashionable dress.
Kate held up her half of the bounty hunting partnership by collecting more notches on her pistol than Brady added to his.
Following the Civil War, territories became states and municipal law enforcement began replacing federal jurisdictions and bounty hunters. Brady and Kate set aside their bounty hunting hats and formed Modern Investigation Agency to service civil cases and special contracts let by Federal Judge, Andrew Blake.
