Preface

College professors and many books on writing advise to write what you know. So why would a retired elementary schoolteacher attempt to write the story of a madam whose life was the opposite of hers?                 

Forty-five years ago, when I married my husband, Bill, he introduced me to the Black Range. I developed a love of the magnificent mountains, the sparkling springs, the majestic valleys, the deer and rock squirrels, and the area's folklore.

Through the years, the Sadie Orchard story fascinated me. Maybe it was her courage to strike out on her own to find what she wanted; her determination to succeed without fear of what someone else would think; her bravery as a woman when most women were subservient to men.

Whatever the reason, after researching for information on Sadie, I decided to write a book on this legend of a woman. I intended to write only the facts but soon found that with so many telling her story, the tales were hard to prove.
Sadie Orchard wore many hats. She was not only a brothel owner but a humanitarian as well. She was the Belle of the Black Range.
