It should be noted that in that era it would not have been considered polite or good form to speak ill of someone ...especially in a obit.
I so agree.
So that others will not be left with that last impression of Jane, I offer the following.
(I know Beks...stooooooooopppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Jane along with everybody else who ever lived and who live today and will live in the future are multidimensional. All are flawed, and almost all have redemptive qualities. I find it interesting the very first thing criticized was her looks. Hmmm....nice.
We all know there are many more writings than the obit, at least I know that anyway. I don't need to post them, I have champagne to go drink.
I read a little about Lonesome Dove a few minutes ago, but not much. Seems like it is a western novel with a few characters loosely based on actual people. See...anybody can write history how they would like to see it!!!!
(Beks...I won't even go into the "whore" comment.)
