Katie Elder: Her True Story by Maggie Van Ostrand
"[Her] background was perhaps more plaid than checkered. For one thing, there were all those names. Besides being called Katie Elder, she was also known as Kate Fisher, Big Nose Kate, Nosey Kate, Mrs. John H. "Doc" Holliday, Kate Melvin, and Kate Cummings..."

I remember Bartlett by Carolyn Ripper
"I remember taking my shoes off, walking near the tracks, and feeling the exhilaration and excitement of laying out pennies to be squished. When we got home, my feet were black, and my cheeks were bright red from the heat."
