Welcome to the section on the fabulous B western heroines, many of whom also did yeoman duties in cliffhangers.  Will add more as time permits.

I also ask any of the website visitors that have more info on these great ladies to send me an e-mail, and I'll be glad to include that in the mini-biographies.  Comments or questions --- click HERE to send an e-mail to Chuck Anderson, the Old Corral Webmaster.
