?The story of May Walker Burleson?s murder of her ex-husband?s second wife . . . A meticulously researched work, [it] captures its era perfectly.??Galveston County Daily News Jennie May Walker Burleson was envied for having everything a woman of her time could want?the privileged upbringing, the dazzling good looks, the dashing war hero husband. She was admired for demonstrating that a woman could want more, from the front of the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession to the bottom of a Mesoamerican archaeological dig. But as she stood over the body of her husband?s second wife, gun in hand, society?s envy and admiration quickly hardened into pity and scorn. T. Felder Dorn examines the complicated trajectory of her life as socialite, suffragist and shooter. Includes photos! ?Dorn?s book gives small glimpses of history, especially on the 1913 Suffragist parade in Washington, DC. Plus, May was sent to Waverly Hills Sanatorium reputed to be one of the most haunted places in the U.S. One of the best features of the book is the historical photos interspersed with each chapter.??Forgotten Winds
