    Kenneth Markson

    While an English major at college, I wrote a column which was published weekly. I have been writing ever since. The old West and Los Angeles in the forties are eras which lend themselves to tales of romance, courage, and fast paced adventure. I particularly enjoy writing stories about the mail order brides who fearlessly took a chance and traveled West, hoping to find love and a better future. Many of the locales that I write about are places that I have either traveled through or actually lived in. I try to make my works richly accurate. My desire is to provide you with an entertaining and fun read. When I'm not writing, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children.

      Mail Order Bride - Kenneth Markson

      To my wife and children, always.

      Chapter 1

      Jane Randall lived with her family in a crowded shanty near the Kansas City stockyards.  She was the third of twelve siblings, and her family was dirt poor.  In the best of times, they barely had enough to eat.

      Her father worked in the stockyards for long hours and little pay.  Although she was younger, her mother was always weary, and had grown old before her time.  Jane's two older sisters had left their home when they had come of age to ease the strain on the family, and it had been decided that it was now Jane's turn.

      Today would be the last day that she would spend under the roof that she had grown up in.  She opened the window to her room, and smelled the stench of the stockyards fill her nostrils.  It was something, she reflected, that one learns to live with over the years, but never truly gets used to. 

      Although it was early morning, she could hear the sounds of the cowboys shouting.  They were already driving the never ending flow of cattle into their pens.  Kansas City had one of the biggest stockyards in the nation, second only to Chicago.

      Jane filled up the worn travel bag with the few clothes that she had.  She neatly folded her one nice dress, and placed it inside.  Out of necessity, Jane had become a mail order bride like her older sisters, and was seeking a better life out West.

      Both of her sisters had gone to Texas, but she would be heading for California.  Jane had shown no specific preference.  In her case, the man who corresponded with her, and displayed the most interest, lived in a growing town just outside of Los Angeles.  It was all in God's hands, Jane thought to herself.

      Are you ready to go Janey? her father asked.

      That was his term of affection for her.  She and her father had always been close.  Of all the children, John Randall had spent much of what little extra time he had, with her.

      Jane looked at the stocky, middle-aged man standing in front of her.  Her father appeared tired, and there was a tremendous sadness in his moistened, blue eyes.  He was wearing his worn and dirty work clothes.

      Jane understood.  There was no sense putting on anything better, when he had to rush to work at the stockyards, after dropping her off at the train station.  She knew that he
