I love the idea of that series!
I read about Helen Burgess's tragic fate when I had seen The Plainsman, really sad. Lovely pictures you've found!
It is so sad about Helen Burgess. I remember her well from The Plainsman.
It was that bad before penicillin that you could die from a cold(that became Pneumonia)!How far we've come.
