Train Wreck

December 1, 1901

On August 20, 1901, I was in a train wreck. I had to have five surgeries done on my body according to Frank and then I was paralyzed for a short while. The train had crashed right onto another train. I was stuck for a long time under all the rubble and mess. They carried me away on some stretcher where we passed some horses who were injured. I overheard them saying that they had to be shot. They said that I  "felt sorry for them", which I really did. And also, my hair turned completely white really fast, even though I'm only 41. But white hair didn't do good for me, so I quit the Wild West show. I'm into acting, again, and i am the lead in a play of
The Western Girl. I'm also teaching at clubs how to shoot, and I'm setting records again. But in a few months, we may go back to Greenville and I will live the rest of my life there.
