    About this ebook

    One of the most mysterious of the petticoat dealers that roamed the Old West was the voluptuous Lottie Deno.

    She was a dazzling beauty, wore the finest clothes, and conducted herself as a refined Southern belle. Yet, she told no one her real name; "Lottie Deno" was a nickname given to her by other gamblers. She raked in big winnings night after nights—she traveled with a leather-bound trunk that was stuffed with cash.

    Using all of her feminine wiles, she orchestrated the killing of an ex- paramour, she stood toe to toe in a fight with "Big Nose" Kate over Doc Holliday, and she coolly counted her winnings at a table where two of the players blazed away with pistols—killing both men.

    This then, is her incredibly true story, Lottie Deno – Mysterious Hell Cat of the West.

    Author

    G.R. Williamson

    G.R. Williamson lives in Kerrville, Texas, with his wife and trusty chihuahua Shooter. He spent his early years living in Crystal City, Texas, which is located twenty miles west of King Fisher's ranch in Dimmitt County. As a Boy Scout, he hunted for arrowheads on the land that once belonged to King Fisher, and he fished in the alligator waters of Espantosa Lake. He has written many articles on Texas historical figures and events in Texas history. In addition, he has penned several western film screenplays that make their way to California from time to time. Currently he is at work on two nonfiction books-one on the last old-time Texas bank and train robber and the other on frontier gambling.
